CU men’s basketball has contacted Northern Colorado transfer Dalton Knecht, per report

The #cubuffs have reportedly contacted Northern Colorado transfer Dalton Knecht, who’s considered one of the top players in the portal

The Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball team saw its season end during the NIT, and immediately Tad Boyle and his staff have gotten to work on the recruiting front.

On top of that, the transfer portal is blossoming with players looking for better opportunities. One of the biggest transfers in the market is Northern Colorado star senior guard Dalton Knecht, and the Buffs are one of a ton of programs to be in contact with him, according to Sean Paul of Mountain West Wire.

Some of the other schools include North Carolina, Oregon, Kansas, Arkansas, Utah and Indiana. However, Knecht might want to stay in the state of Colorado, which would send the Buffs to the forefront of the conversation.

Knecht was born in Thornton, which is just a 30-minute drive from Boulder, and pairing him with five-star incoming freshman Cody Williams would be fun to watch next season.

Knecht dazzled with Northern Colorado, averaging 20.2 points per game with 7.2 rebounds and a 38% clip from beyond the arc this season. However, the Bears finished 13-20 and missed the NCAA Tournament once again, so Knecht likely wants to improve his draft stock and have a shot to play in the postseason.
