Somehow, someway, Tad Boyle has taken another step with the Colorado Buffaloes basketball program. This is not a program where elite recruits land, but with all 13 scholarships accounted for, the Class of 2021 is ranked 9th in the nation and first in the Pac-12, per 247Sports.com.
This recruiting class started with a local kid, Lawson Lovering from Cheyenne, Wyoming, who committed to the Buffs before his junior season even began. Then a 3-star recruit, Lovering has grown (literally) into a top-50 recruit nationally. The Buffs have never had a 7’1 center who can shoot, block shots and handle the ball, but they will have one soon enough.
