CU plan is there to see

Do you see it happening?

It seems subtle but something is happening up in Boulder, something good.

In a story in the Rocky Mountain News, B.G. Brooks writes that a BuffaloStampede.com report shows CU picking up another verbal commitment, this time from Devonne Quattlebaum, a quarterback/defensive back from Monetta, South Carolina.

Did you see it?

From Monetta, South Carolina.

Coach Dan Hawkins and his staff are recruiting places the Buffs just haven't recruited. Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia and now South Carolina.

CU is establishing a presence in new territory, fertile soil.

That the program is getting anyone from the South is amazing. To get players from Pennsylvania is also shocking, in a great way.

Funny thing is, this is not new to the Buffs competition, just CU. Nebraska has long been able to pull talent from the South, Kansas State has been there, too.

Who knows the quality of player that Hawkins and his staff is getting in those new areas but know this, the plan is likely to be getting a base for the future, which can only help this program.
