Mekhi Blackmon always believed in himself. He just needed someone else to believe in him.
A cornerback at College of San Mateo, Blackmon is one of 14 recruits taking an official visit to Colorado this weekend, and he said he's likely to commit to the Buffaloes.
"I just need to make sure the area is good and the people are genuine," said Blackmon, who is making the trip with several family members. "Everyone sounds like they're going with me and I'm with them, so I just need to figure out if it's 100 percent."
Blackmon said if he commits to CU, he is planning to enroll in July and return to Boulder in time for the start of fall camp on Aug.
