First, some introductions for Colorado basketball fans.
Guard Elijah Parquet, one of the Buffaloes' newcomers out of Beaumont, Texas, prefers to go by Eli, and he already is confident he can provide the Buffs with a steady 3-point shot.
Secondly, a word of caution. Parquet suffered a broken foot late in the high school season and has spent the past few months largely on the sidelines. Those baby steps typically taken by freshmen during their first weeks on campus will be even smaller this month for Parquet.
Last week, Parquet and Denver East's Daylen Kountz arrived on campus to begin summer classes and go through their first workouts with their new CU teammates.
