The Colorado Buffaloes had a terrific season all around, as they won 21 games and reached the NIT, all while seeing constant growth from their young players. This was always going to be a transition year from the Class of 2017 to the freshmen and sophomores we’re seeing turn into stars.
Part of the planning, at least on Tad Boyle’s part, was to let the upperclassmen move on and exercise their fifth-year redshirts elsewhere. It was a success all around, with every player who transferred (including Daylen Kountz, who left after his sophomore year) putting up career best stats while featured heavily on their new team.
