SAN FRANCISCO — If the Colorado Buffaloes are going to live up to the foundational standards established by head coach Tad Boyle this year, the key will be a rapid maturation process.
Time will be of the essence.
"We're in great shape leadership wise," Boyle said at Wednesday's Pac-12 Media Day. "Now it's time for our young guys to grow up — and we'd better grow up quickly."
The Buffs are indeed young this year. Of the 12 scholarship players on the roster, only two — seniors Evan Battey and Elijah Parquet — have started more than one game in their college careers.
