The Buffs landed a commitment from Ben Gula, a 6’5”, 285 pound interior offensive lineman out of Cypress Bay High School in Fort Lauderdale. Now, for those of you that grew up in the 1990s and watched Nick Jr., you’ll be glad to know that […]
While pulling together a blogpost about which true freshman is most likely to start at CU (see link) , I realized I made a startling omission. I had completed a Hello! post for every freshman — except London Merritt. Well, consider this my mea culpa to Mr. Merritt. We are now 12 for 12 with
