Sione Tau Saying Yes to Hawkins, No to Erickson?

He might be. Rumor is he's got his decision down to Arizona and Colorado and a late push by Hawkins gives the Buffs a strong shot at the nation's 33rd ranked offensive tackle according to Scout.com.

Tau's choosing Boulder at the last minute would be a huge coup for Hawkins at the wire. He represents the best of what Colorado's looking for to rebuild it's offense in the future. A mammoth offensive tackle at 6' 6", 285lbs. with a mean streak and a terrific person off the field.

How coveted are Tau's services? He's been offered by over a dozen schools, including Cal, Arizona State, Arizona, Oregon State, Hawaii and Utah in addition to the Buffs. The Colorado staff has to be salivating at the possibility of putting him at one tackle, Ryan Miller at the other, and forgetting about those spots for a few years.
