Colorado is loaded w/ TE's this cycle.

28 rec ... 533 yds ... 8 TD as a Jr

3.86 GPA / 28 ACT

Decent basketball player too.

Looks like a Stanford - UCLA battle w/ UCLA in the lead? That's no good, right?

Still no offer for my guy Terrance Ferguson... :-(

Ferguson and Olsen are on the same team? Goodness.


Apparently the staff really wants a second TE though.

I’m firmly in the camp that I’d like the 2nd TE scholarship used elsewhere. With the main focus on one of the DB athletes that we are in good position for.

For a Brock Bowers or a Thomas Fidone, YES. For Erik Olsen, no thanks. He’s a good prospect but it doesn’t make sense to bring him in as the 6th TE next season. I’d go big or go home with that scholarship. Like LuckyLucci said, use it on a DB. They need more depth there

I suspect that there may be some tweaking of the offensive scheme by Mr. Rees that could be the impetus for this.

Wiltfong put in a CB for Colorado. I’m not beaten up over this but it came as a surprise as a lot of people thought ND had a good shot. Or that was until...he gave the dreaded 1 TE comment. Sounds like being the 1 TE in a class is quite important to him. We shall see.

 

[BobbyMac]

No biggie. I'll be putting up a new profile for Mitchell Evans tomorrow and telling everyone why it's the best thing to ever happen to ND.
