Same here. I still think they get Kyan Evans (apparently has some Minnesota family members). Wouldn't surprise me to see Jojo McIver flip to us. Kyle Jorgensen will most likely come on over too.I'm not overly concerned. I believe Niko knows who he wants to keep around. Looks like Grove Asuma Jefferson Shinholster and 11 new faces. Totally fine with that.

Dynamic of Thorson will be interesting. He's been recruiting these guys and been here four years. Niko and the assistants he's bringing are the connection to any CSU transfers, but they also are keeping their guy as the new HC.If Niko lands even two of the three, that greatly exceeds my expectation. Those guys signed up to play for Ben and are all from out of state.
I've said it before, but... This guy will be key. I might be wrong, but I see him as someone who can contribute as a frosh.
Unless we pull a star out of the portal, he will need to. I haven’t followed him at all so have no idea other than he seems to have exceeded expectations since his commitment.I've said it before, but... This guy will be key. I might be wrong, but I see him as someone who can contribute as a frosh.
As you and I have discussed, 247 has him as a 3-star. But he's a very promising 3-star, I think."Four star"
LOL
He may indeed be a very promising 3-star.As you and I have discussed, 247 has him as a 3-star. But he's a very promising 3-star, I think.
Somehow he got it in his head. Did Jefferson get downgraded at some point?He may indeed be a very promising 3-star.
But he's a 3 star everywhere (on3, rivals, 247) except ESPN. And as we all know, ESPN is worthless when it comes to recruit rankings.
So why does Marcus undermine his own credibility by referring to Jefferson as a "4 star?"
He already made the recruiting class sound like the Fab 5 as part of his "Save Ben" push. Can't go back now.He may indeed be a very promising 3-star.

Good...good.
Niko's doing work. This ain't no easy feat. Clem has spoken about how tough it was to keep Dutcher's holdovers (Burton, Newbern, Shik).
Good news. He was the one likely to be in the 8 man rotation next year. The other two are replacement-level recruits IMO, nothing against them personally.
Gopher Crew can be trusted.
Slightly different circumstances but point well taken. A brand new sell job on kids you don’t know. Clems tenure would have been a lot different without Willie, Shik, and Newbern sticking to their commitments. If he has success here, maybe we reopen the LA pipeline clogged up by Henley the 7-4 guy.Niko's doing work. This ain't no easy feat.

Honestly, why does it matter this much. It was a reporter independent of the program that said this.He may indeed be a very promising 3-star.

Yes he did....back in 2023 he was a top 50 recruit and he his ranking steadily declinedSomehow he got it in his head. Did Jefferson get downgraded at some point?
The whole "star" racket is a bit of a farse. There are some differences in 5's and 3's. 3's and 4's. It gets blurry in a hurry.He may indeed be a very promising 3-star.

Is Parker Fox really his dad?
That sounds like something one spy would say to the other in the park.Has Shinholster confirmed his commitment?
I believe Jeff would be his dadIs Parker Fox really his dad?
