The Colorado Buffaloes completed its monster recruiting weekend Sunday, and the early reviews are in.

For Windsor (Colorado) four-star offensive lineman and crucial Buffaloes target Deacon Schmitt the trip was a huge success.

"It was great... always a good time," he said. "Growing up in Colorado, I have been around the Boulder area quite a bit. It’s always so comfortable for me there."

The 6-foot-5, 330-pound lineman is the top recruit in the state of Colorado and the level of detail the Buffaloes have put into his recruitment has been eye-opening.

"It means a lot,' Schmitt said. "Growing up around here, I have always cheered for the Buffs. To have an opportunity to play for the team I grew up 45 minutes away from is huge. Especially at a time like this when it is one of the most talked about programs in college football. It is very special to be wanted by a team like this."

And as is the case with any big Colorado recruitment these days that means direct contact with coach Deion Sanders, a larger-than-life figure in the college football world these days.

But while a lot is made of the flash around Colorado's football program, Schmitt has been impressed with the substance Sanders brings to the program - and the recruiting effort.

"It’s awesome," he said. "Coach Prime is a wise man. He talks about a lot of good things. It’s really bigger than football with him. He wants you to become a man and he will love you and support you as you do it."
