Buffs recruiting a rollercoaster

News on the recruiting forefront as Colorado has added another linebacker to its' class, securing a verbal form Florida linebacker Josh Hartigan, a 6-foot-2, 215-pounder from Fort Lauderdale, according to a report by Patrick Ridgell in the Times-Call.

The Buffs did lose junior college center Jess Beets because the school, which is becoming increasingly familiar, did not accept some of his academic credits. Beets is now off to Kentucky.

CU did grab another defensive lineman when Chris Perri of Laney College in California decided to wear the Black and Gold.

TheBreakdown...Getting Hartigan adds depth to the linebackers and again this recruiting season, establishes CU in the state of Florida as a presence, something coach Dan Hawkins and his staff have down in many parts of the country. Who knows if any of this players can make an impact but Hawkins' mission to recruit nationally, not just regionally, is forward thinking and impressive. Losing Beets...well typical CU. Getting Perri for the defensive line was important, if he can play and if, um, he can get into school.
