LB transfer? (former 3 star recruit)

[HFvictory]

This was discussed on killerfrogs a few days ago and surprised not mentioned here so I thought I would post.

Boye-Doe was a Rivals 3 star out of Keller. Good chance he ends up a Mustang. Currently listed as 6-1, 230, 4.6.

From RockyMountainNews.com:

RELEASE ME: Promising sophomore linebacker Walter Boye-Doe has asked for his release and plans to transfer to Texas Christian University or Southern Methodist University. He will finish CU's spring semester.

Boye-Doe, of Keller, Texas, said his parents recently were divorced and he wanted to be nearer to his mother. "It's a big decision for me, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do," he said.

Neither TCU nor SMU were among Boye-Doe's finalists. He said his high school coach was making contacts for him at those schools.

Boye-Doe played in 11 games last season. CU's initial spring depth chart listed him behind sophomore Akarika Dawn at weak linebacker.

Boye-Doe said off-field turmoil at CU was not a factor: "That doesn't bother me, but I am worried about coach Barnett's status."

Why do you think he will end up a Mustang?

[HFvictory]

2 reasons:

First & primary, TCU has no available 'ships and a couple of walk-ons who will probably take any available rides that open up before Fall.

Second, right now TCU has very good depth at LB, including another transer from CU as well a couple of extremely promising freshmen. LB probably not a position of need right now, but as you know injuries could very well change that situation.

There are a couple of good articles on him and he started several games last year. Talented young man.

I WELCOME ANY DEFENSIVE TRANSFER.LET'S MAKE SURE HE WANTS TO COME HERE.HE THOUGHT HE WANTED TO GO TO C.U.

Any update on this? From what I recall, he can really play. Big hitter with very good speed.

Not interested...

Damn.
But on the plus side, LB might well be our deepest position. If this leaves us with the option of filling another need, then maybe it's not horrible news.

[gostangs]

He's not interested, we are not interested, or redblue is not interested?

[CoxSMU]

Not interested...

You're not interested in helping our team?

[Pony Fan]

I DO believe that Boye-Doe is interested but he (and none of the CU players) have been released yet.

We are still interested in Boye-Doe. Right now, it's a matter of whether Barnett will release him and the other 17 or so other players who want to transfer. He doesn't want to but if he gets fired, I'd imagine Colorado would release him.
