Scott is hoping to help the Buffs
finally turn the corner in his
sophomore season. After the first
practice of fall camp, Scott finally
addressed his uncle’s transfer
earlier this summer.
Scott kept it brief, saying he has
moved on.
“He had to do what he had to
do and I respect that,” he said.
Scott was the most highly
recruited member of the 2008 CU
freshman class, but he struggled
through an injury-riddled first
season last fall. It began when he
reported to camp out of shape and
approaching 230 pounds.
Scott trimmed down to 200
pounds for spring ball and has
since put on weight again. He
started camp Friday at
approximately 220 pounds. He
hopes to play this season between
210 and 215 pounds. He believes a
little extra weight will help
achieve his goals.
“I feel like I’m more
experienced,” Scott said. “I like
