The continued societal lockdown prompted by the coronavirus is a monumental hurdle for the entire sports world. It may prove doubly frustrating for basketball players like new Colorado signee Tristan da Silva.
Buffaloes head coach Tad Boyle and his staff kept their wooing of da Silva under the radar, finalizing their recruitment of the German national last week on the first day of the spring signing period. When da Silva might actually set foot on campus remains up in the air.
Of course, that remains true for all of the Buffs, who are taking classes online, working out on their own and settling for meetings with the coaching staff via online forums.
