Sparaco sightings at the CU spring practices. Reported he is a transfer walk-on and will have to sit out a year.

Has anyone in the history of the NCAA transferred down a level, and then transferred back to the same exact school they transferred from? What a weird deal.
Leave school A to go down a level for more playing time, don't getting the playing time at school B you assumed you would, leave school B, walk on at higher level school (SCHOOL A!)??? :-k

It would be incredible if he actually pulls this off but I'm guessing it wasn't really a football move. Probably just missed Boulder.
If you mean that his reasoning to go back was more because he missed Boulder rather than a pure football decision, maybe, but he is practicing with the team this spring so he is going to try and play ball there again.
I know that DS had playing time here last season but maybe he thought he’d come in and be the MAN, and just didn’t fit in. Not saying he had a bad attitude but maybe just didn’t mesh well with the guys already buying into the Choate staff. I always think back to last seasons media days. Wright and Neale said that those that don’t buy into it, don’t last long.

We seem to be slowly updating our roster. Couple of losses on the OL: Sean Hatten and Brody McKnight. Both were promising recruits from the 2017 class. Obviously Redd and Wood are working out well from the same class.

It appears that Ty’rese Gibson has left the program as well.

Sorry to see McKnight gone. He was one of the top linemen in his conference and on one of the top football programs in Washington..Eastside Catholic. Former Bobcat DC, Rob Christoff, is the DC there.

I have high hopes for both since their recruitment.
Met Hatten's parents in Hawaii after Sean's signing. Nice people.
McKnight seemed to have quite an upside as well.
Wonder if they will be invited back for fall.

Added McKnight and Hatten.

All 3 could be back in the fall.
At this point it’s a simple numbers game, as it’s been stated by a few this offseason, talented players are going to be cut, and some will be invited back to fall camp.

Not many though. We have somewhere in the range of 8-9 PWOs who get a spot once the roster expands to 105 in the fall. There will only be about 1-3 spots open for guys to come back in the fall (assuming there isn't more attrition which there likely will be).

A little surprised but not really. Ifanse is going to get the lion's share for 3 more years. But Jones and Tucker both graduate this year, leaving a big opening in 2020.

Good luck young man.

Yeah, that one is disappointing. He seemed to be a good teammate and Bobcat. I would have liked to see him get a shot on the field. :(

RB's on the roster for 2020 (with their expected class level at that time):

Isaiah Ifanse - Jr.
Tyrel Burgess - Jr.
Shane Perry - Jr.
Lane Sumner - So.
DeMareus Hosey - Rfr. or So.
Joe Olson - Rfr.
Brock Spiegelberg - Rfr.

Then of course there is that Troy Andersen fella...and also Chris Murray. I just really don't think there is going to be that big of an opening in 2020. The usual suspects will still be in the stable. Also, the way I'm reading Cauley transferring is he was beat out by Shane Perry. They were fringe roster guys coming into this year.

This isn’t meant as any slight to Cauley, but I don’t think this is all that surprising. There are a lot of bodies and talent in that RB group , especially the underclassmen Vim mentions above. I feel like the Cats were always going to lose a RB or two before next season, it just depended on who had a good spring/summer to figure out who the odd man out might be.

Yeah but look at last year when we were down to Ifanse and Tucker as our only true running backs after being stacked in spring. Need guys to share the load, its a long season.

I had thought Cauley was going to be really good, but man, he didn't look very good at the last scrimmage. Had a few more backs ahead of him on the depth chart, including ones out of his own class, so this isn't surprising.

RB is the easiest position to recruit. That's why I don't worry about it much.

By 2020, Ifanse, Burgess, Perry, Sumner, and possibly Hosey will all be able to share the load. Agreed?

I'm just saying going into fall last year, I thought the RB position was stacked and Ifanse might even be able to redshirt and between injuries and players retiring or leaving the team, we were down to just him and Tucker for most of the year. Just saying of all positions, that is the one with the biggest need to rotate in guys frequently. If he left because he was BEHIND all those guys then I understand but if he just didn't think there would be enough carries, I don't agree.

I think sumner is going to be a beast as well. (Was he able to use his redshirt last year?)


Bummed cauley left, but yeah, not super surprised either. I think he had several guys ahead of him on the depth chart.

I agree somewhat and I see your point, but IMO last year in the Spring we were KINDA loaded at the RB position. This year coming out of Spring we are REALLY loaded at the position with some serious talent.

Cauley was not going to see the field this year with Logan Jones available as well. Our backfield is loaded and we are bringing in a couple more studs this year. Can’t blame Justin for looking for a location where he may get to see the field earlier or in a more substantial role. Best of luck to him!

Sumner had a great spring, Perry has been turning heads since he got here. I don’t blame Justin one bit.....
