When Colorado basketball head coach Tad Boyle called Julian Hammond to offer him a scholarship, the Cherry Creek point guard only had one response. “So I could commit right now?” “Yeah, of course,” Boyle replied. Hammond didn’t hesitate to say yes to his “dream school,” and Boyle attributes that to the in-state talent Colorado has cultivated during his tenure, including Derrick White, Josh Scott, Xavier Talton, D’Shawn Schwartz and Dominique Collier. “It’s really nice to have in-state kids who grow up wanting to stay home and play for the Buffs and our program,” Boyle said.
