(This is the eighth in a series of nine BuffZone.com profiles reviewing the rotation players for the 2018-19 Colorado men's basketball team.)
"Mixed reviews" probably describes no Colorado men's basketball player more appropriately than junior guard Shane Gatling.
When Gatling was wooed from the junior college ranks, Buffaloes head coach Tad Boyle told Gatling he wanted him to be more than a 3-point ace. Yet make no mistake: After losing the top two 3-point shooters from the previous season, George King and Dom Collier, Boyle's Buffs needed Gatling to provide some long-range punch.
