Thursday was a wonderful day for Colorado basketball. In likely preparation for the departure of Jabari Walker, head coach Tad Boyle was able to secure a commitment from four-star forward Bobi Klintman. The 6-foot-9, 200-pound native of Sweden is set to join the Buffs next season alongside fellow incoming freshmen Joe Hurlburt and RJ Smith.

Klintman was previously committed to Maryland but upon the resignation of former Terrapins head coach Mark Turgeon in December, he reopened his recruitment. He had also received offers from Arizona State, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming, among several others.

According to 24/7 High School Hoops, Klintman is a stretch forward with strong shooting skills and the ability to score in the post.

Also on Thursday, Princeton graduate transfer Ethan Wright announced his commitment to Colorado. So, it wasn’t a bad day in Boulder.

Klintman on how Colorado separated themselves from the pack:
“The coaching staff and the fit — I feel like I can step in and have a chance to make an impact right away. The players and staff made it feel like a big family and I really enjoyed that.” https://t.co/DL543vdKpA pic.twitter.com/FUfkzZ2KWY
