Colorado basketball offers Longmont guard Justinian Jessup

Longmont High’s Justinian Jessup, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard who averaged 17 points this past season as a junior, told a recruiting-based website that he has received an offer from Colorado.

Jessup told BuffStampede.com, an affiliate of Rivals.com, that CU coach Tad Boyle wants Jessup, a left-hander, to either be a walk-on for his first season in Boulder or push back his college enrollment by attending a prep school for a year following his high school graduation.

Colorado already has oral commitments from two guards for the 2015-16 recruiting cycle and, as of now, the Buffs do not have another scholarship to offer to Jessup for that class.
