The environment at CU has made a great impact on my son, and he’ll carry these memories with him forever. Coach Prime, I am forever grateful, and this short amount of time, I’ve learned so much under your leadership. To the Buffnation and Boulder community, the love was felt, and I will always cherish my time in Boulder, SkoBuffs. This was not an easy decision, I mean who wants to depart such a beautiful place with great people and a great program but for it was the best decision for me and my son.
