Really disappointed we’re still waiting around to sign a shooter and may pocket scholarship. Love Tad, but we need to go all in next year! Tired of waiting. We may only have Cody for one year, so in my view it’s Sweet 16 or bust. If it‘s another year of NIT, MBB may need a fresh start.

Florida State freshman defensive lineman has announced his commitment to Colorado after his weekend visit with the Buffs. Thomas was rated as a four-star recruit out of high school in the 2022 class. He played in two games and ultimately redshirted last season preserving four years of eligibility with the Buffs.

BUMMER!!!

The good stuff for me begins around the 33:00 mark. Kirk Schulz was the former president of Kansas State and so he's seen it before.

In this ESPN article courtesy of the NEWSTAND (Thanks @NCBuff !) ADRG provides some clarification on the rules regarding scholarships and roster cuts which may lessen some readers concerns about the ability of cut players to continue their education. Basically, there is a NCAA rule that provides that a new HC can cut a player but the school must continue to pay for the kid's education if he decides to remain at the school, as long as the player is not involved with the team at all. Those former players do not count toward scholarship limits even though they essentially remain on scholarship. He states that 4 players cut by HCDS have elected to remain at CU and separate from the team yet retain their scholarship. He did not specify which players.
Interestingly, ADRG also states that he expects the Buffs to go into the fall season with 67 scholarship players (as opposed to the 85 max ). I don't know if the NCAA "Aid after Departing Head Coach" rule is going to affect the decisions on how many active player scholarships to utilize, though I suppose it is at least conceivable as an overall $$ consideration. Point is that at least ADRG doesn't seem concerned about having a "full" roster of 85 scholarship players this season.

Any word on him committing?

@Nikkieds and I worked on this today and got it all up to date. If you see any mistakes or if any other changes take place we will be sure to update the list. We've taken off JT Shrout with the word that he will be entering the transfer portal today. As of now, the Buffs have 94 scholarships spoken for with the NCAA limit being 85. So, CU has to find a way to cut down that list by the start of the season.

I see single game tickets are becoming available, how is that possible when they claim to be sold out of season tickets? do they set aside a handful of seats for single game sales? I would think that is clearly what is happening, just curious..

We were told to wait and see, that dogs were fighting to come here. Well?

A large group of local friends threw a wonderful party for me on my day of birth…April 28th. Pizza, Cake, Bubbly, and lots of laughs and hugs were shared by all. There were so many balloons tied to my chair that I was afraid that I might blast off into the stratosphere!

Everyday, I am touched by my friends’ kindness and caring gestures, and that includes all of you.

Five years ago, it wasn’t expected that I would still be here, but God has seen fit to grant me more time. There were tears of gratitude and tears of amazement that so many folks showed up or sent me messages on my special day.

Even Ollie, Feline Extraordinaire, got into the act giving me extra nose rubs, purrs, and an occasional love nip. He was hoping to get some of that homemade carrot cake that was simply out of this world. That did not happen…I ate it!

Thank you for your generosity with prayers, positive thoughts and donations!

Blessings to you all…

Craig
