The freshman class for Colorado men’s basketball has grown to seven players with the addition of 6-foot-11 center Marc Van Burck and 6-4 James Inge, a shooting guard. Both players are enrolled in classes, the CU sports information office confirmed Wednesday. Van Burck, a physical, 255-pound Canadian citizen, played last season at Luther College High School in Regina, Saskatchewan. He is the tallest player on CU’s 13-man roster. Inge, still awaiting an eligibility ruling by the NCAA Clearinghouse, averaged 24.3 points as a senior at Camden (N.J.) Woodrow Wilson High School. He picked CU over LaSalle and Temple. – Tom Kensler
