No, like literally- on fire. Scout.com 4 star tight end Dion Jordan, who visited CU on 9/21, "was hospitalized Saturday afternoon after an attempt to siphon gas from an inoperable car resulted in a fire that left Jordan with third-degree burns over 30 percent of his body, Chandler football coach Jim Ewan said.Ewan said the accident took place around noon when Jordan and some friends tried to remove gas from a car that was not working to put in a vehicle that was. A fire resulted that burned Jordan up and down both arms and shoulders and from his knees to his toes on both legs."
Um, I'm not really sure how to feel about this. On one hand, I feel bad for an 18-year-old kid who's now deformed. On another hand, I have a hard time feeling bad for a kid who is stupid enough to try and siphon gas from a car in the first place. On a third hand, he's apparently a really good player, is highly recruited, and yet still considering CU. On a 4th hand, is he worth recruiting if, say, this turns out to be not his car he's siphoning gas from? On a 5th hand, (seriously- 5 hands. There are several tribes in Africa who worship me. Also, It's really tough to buy sweater vests), is it worth recruiting him, period? According to the article, he's going to require skin grafts and be hospitalized for at least a month. Will he play after that, like, ever?
If all of these hands give a thumbs up, then I say let's get him, offering the many wonders of hippie lotions and their healing powers. And in that case, we wish you all the heartiest of get wells from the Colorado Buff faithful. But if he ends up going to Nebraska or USC, then man, what a dumbass. I mean who lights themselves on fire unless it's a political statement in the middle east, right?
*actually, I kid because I care- all joking aside, we offer best wishes no matter what. We empathize with your current plight and wish you a speedy recovery, as well as only the finest in sponge baths from large breasted female nurses. If you choose to go to Nebraska, you are a dumbass for many different reasons.
Since we're talking recruiting, 4 star safety Brandon Smith (#6 nationally) talked to Scout about his visit to CU on Oklahoma weekend. Smith currently lists only Michigan and Colorado as "high interest" insofar as those are the only 2 places he's visited. He came with three of his high school teammates, 4 star OG (aw, yeah) Dalton Freeman, and already committed Will Pericak.

We need to get this recruiting amped up. Id like to see 15-18 commits by Thanksgiving. Jon Major espeically.
I'm trying to believe one big name might spark a flood, whether it be Major, Darrell Scott, or whoever. Scoot was visiting Florida when they got upset by Auburn and saw their starting RB get 3 carries. At the same time, we were beating Oklahoma behind a pounding run game, so hopefully that's good.
Brandon Smith said he's not announcing until the Army All American game, which kind of sucks. Hawk and staff also did a bunch of visits in Utah, including 4 star RB Sausin Shakerin (I know that's not how it's spelled, but whatever. He's some fast white guy). I guess all we can do is keep winning. Oh, and Ed Tinker seems to be leaning our way if he can make the grades.
