BOULDER — As is the case with programs across the country, the Colorado Buffaloes are dealing with depth issues at several positions this spring.
The reasons vary. Injuries, players still recovering from offseason surgeries, and attrition via graduation and the transfer portal all have an impact. Programs are also waiting for the majority of their newest recruits to arrive on campus over the summer, meaning virtually nobody has a full complement of players.
But no matter the reason, the result is coaching staffs must adjust for thin positions during spring ball — and do their best to make sure the players who are available stay that way throughout the spring session.
