• I'm still trying to figure out how Hankerson ran for over 1,000 yards for a three-time state championship team in Florida, and was still open to a gray-shirt. Grades? Other issues? (67%, 163 Votes)
• Like it. This will probably be the way of the world going forward, with schools banking insurance policy recruits in case more players leave. I just hope Hankerson sticks with the Buffs (26%, 63 Votes)
• It sounds to me like the CU coaching staff is anticipating further defections from the running back room. Clayton, Broussard and Davis have already left the program ... I wonder who's next? (7%, 19 Votes)

• That he has played both guard and tackle, giving CU some flexibility. The offensive line is an area of concern, so having a possible starter with experience at multiple positions is a plus (65%, 153 Votes)
• That he went 47-7 at Mater Dei in high school and 50-5 at Alabama - He's seen what winning programs look like, and can bring that winning attitude to Boulder (19%, 44 Votes)
• That he has not been worn down while at Alabama (29 games in four years). He has two years of eligibility left, and will be well motivated with a starting spot in the offing (16%, 39 Votes)

• My only hope is that this will all calm down in a year or two, and CU will be seen as an NCAA leader in the field, and that will play well with transfers and recruits ... a vain hope, but a hope (54%, 99 Votes)
• Industry source: "Everyone is finally going all-in. All the ADs, all the coaches are going, ‘Holy crap, this is it' ... except at CU, which again is left behind (33%, 60 Votes)
• I'm on board. Other schools can ignore guidelines and common sense restrictions, but I'm glad to see that CU is still trying to play by the rules and avoid inducements and other pay-for-play deals (13%, 23 Votes)

• It's about time. Branch had the credentials to be selected decades ago. I'm just sorry that he didn't live to see his election to the Hall of Fame (75%, 124 Votes)
• I'm just surprised that Branch is the first former Buff to make it to the NFL Hall of Fame (ten in the College Football Hall of Fame). Another 10 years or so before we get No. 2 (Mason Crosby)? (20%, 33 Votes)
• I appreciate having the old-timers get a late selection, but it's been decades since Branch played. How many in the crowd at Canton this summer will even know who Branch was? (5%, 9 Votes)
