Was thinking he would get the majority of the snaps at SAM/ Nickel.

Wiggins, Burrell and O'Daniel come to mind.

I think Blanks is the most talented of the 4

Although I expect Wiggins to be just as good this season. O'Daniel and Burrell are ready for breakout seasons

He was expected to split time, so I assume the coaches thought Wiggins was As Good. You will find out in 2 weeks

No, but we weren't really relying on him

As the above posters have said, there were quite a few guys vying for the spot. I though Blanks was probably the best of the bunch with the most experience, but losing him doesn't make me too worried.

I think he might could play Sam and Nickle, others like Wiggins could play Nickle or Safety... others just Sam,,,,

That's CU maturity right there!

Proud to see he knows when to hold'em for the best interest of himself and the team long term. Plus with the depth we have, I hope to see no drop-off. He did miss a good bit of last season though. May he come back bigger and stronger next season!

Is he still not 100%? Makes sense of he's not, otherwise I think we will need his experience.

He's less than a year out from ACL surgery and it usually takes two years to come all the way back. Instead of Blanks playing at 75 - 80%, he will come back at 100%.

Definitely coming back 100%!! I am so proud of him for not allowing ego to push him back before he's ready. Some of these posters on here would be ready to hang him should he start the season at 80% and underperform. I'm GLAD he made this choice!!
