Some positive remains in Buffalo country

After the saga that has been the firing (or was it resigning?) of Athletic Director Mike Bohn, the Buffs really needed a win. While the track program still has a few opportunities to shine at NCAA nationals, the fact is the Buffs need a win. That win may come in the form of a good looking recruiting class courtesy of Tad Boyle and CU men’s basketball team.

According to the Denver Post, Tad Boyle has been doing some crazy things to help recruit new Buffalo players for the future. One of the biggest prospects Boyle has received an oral commitment from is soon-to-be senior at Denver East Domonique Collier. Collier is a blue-chip recruit and the best player in the state of Colorado. Though Buff fans have to wait a year to see him in Gold and Black, Collier is excited to come to the program. He said, “I knew Colorado was the place for me. I love the school and I have so much trust in Coach Boyle. Everybody’s talking about how he has turned around CU.”

Since becoming the head coach of University of Colorado, Boyle has received commitments from 8 top-150 prospects in the nation. Formally the coach of University of Northern Colorado, under Boyle, the Buffs have been in both the NAIA tournament, as well as in the NCAA March Madness tournament. Last season, the Buffs made it to the second round of the tournament with an upset win, and almost continued their Cinderella story all the Sweet-16.

While the Buffs may not be a powerhouse basketball school like some of their Pac-12 counterparts are, the fact is they are real damn good. With Tad Boyle’s help, and some recruits on par with Collier, the Buffs look like a team on the up-and-up in the Pac-12 Rankings.
