Less than a week before national signing day, Colorado's 2016 class got a bit smaller on Thursday night.
Patrick Taylor Jr., a running back/linebacker from Humble, Texas, announced on Twitter that he has decided to commit to Memphis instead.
Taylor had originally committed to CU in August and took his official visit to Boulder earlier this month.
Taylor's departure still leaves CU with 13 players committed to sign letters of intent on Wednesday. The list:
Ca'Ron Baham, ATH, Marrero, La.
Ronnie Blackmon, ATH, Atlanta
Johnny Huntley, WR, Plantation, Fla.
Akil Jones, LB, San Jose
Anthony Julmisse, ATH, Plantation, Fla.
