Tyson Gilbert has just been promoted to assistant coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, a move that deepens his involvement in both player development and recruiting.
The program has welcomed seven newcomers for the 2026 roster, while the offseason has seen a wave of departures that left the squad with significant turnover.
A Coach Who Knows How to Connect
Gilbert’s strength lies in his ability to relate to young athletes, a skill that helped him earn the promotion and now guides his approach to mentoring the fresh class.
Head coach Tad Boyle has built his recruiting philosophy around high‑character individuals who come from supportive families, a standard that aligns with Gilbert’s own values.
The combination of Gilbert’s hands‑on development work and Boyle’s strategic vision is intended to stem the recent retention challenges that have plagued the Buffaloes.
As the new class integrates, Gilbert expects his dual role to translate into stronger on‑court performance and a more cohesive locker room culture.
