Opens Monday.
From what I understand, there is no inter conference moves. So no SEC to SEC.
They talk like it’s gonna be the Wild West. Teams now know what they need and players are starting to understand where they are on the depth chart.
Kids are starting announcements today.

One rumor floating out there is Oklahoma State Ollie Gordon to OU. Just a rumor.

Colorado in shambles. This is the strangest thing I’ve seen. Colorado coaching staff should already have targets and things in motion.

Saw this coming from a mile away the first time Prime spoke with the 2022 CU team when he told them all they weren't good enough for him. Remember his Louis Vuitton luggage speech? Over 70 players transferred out of CU upon his arrival and it was almost all his guys that came into the program in 2023. But, he threw those guys under the bus and now so many them have left. They've lost 11 just this spring, which seems insane. He might be a black coach, but that doesn't mean black players want to play for him.

After spring there comes the realization they ain't starting. Thats main problem with recruiting from the portal, most the time you get kids that are looking for the immediate ROI, not development. I think they will be fine. All they need in the off season was an OL with age and experience. They lost 5 games by 7 or less last year, with an 18/19 year old OL.

Folks think the Portal is great for college sports.
How any would tolerate it in their company, employees coming and going each year for more money after spending money training them?

I recall almost all of their OL from 2023 transferring in, so there is no way that the OL was comprised of only 18-19 year olds. They were much older than that.

Colorado has certainly lost the most players this spring.
Coaches have their favorites, they all do. To me, it seems Deion cares way more about promoting his sons and Travis Hunter, than winning and growing a program.
Deion will be gone this time next year. He will either go to Florida or Miami.

Here is the CU OL 2-deep at OL from 2023. Only one of those guys was a true Freshman and only one was a true Sophomore. It was almost all transfers with 4 or 5 years of experience. They won 4 games last year and all were against terrible teams. This will be a telling year for Prime, but I think it’s evident that he is all talk with little substance. Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan- 4th year Junior Jack Wilty- 4th year Sophomore Isaiah Jatta- 4th year Junior Jack Bailey- 5th year Grad Student Van Wells- Sophomore Hank Zilinskas- Freshman Landon Bebee- 5th year Grad Student Jack Wilty- 4th year Sophomore Savion Washington- 4th year Grad Student Kareem Harden- Junior

Im only familiar with two Alabama players who went to Colorado last year. They both are now in the portal.
One was a safety, realized Deions 24 year old son was returning and left.

Thats trying like hell to give it one last go. Still biggest problem last year was OL. This year I think they do well, next year in 25, will be very interesting, portal makes it hard to develop good players As far as His initial year, he took over an 1-11 team. He did those kids a favor, by letting know he was re-building. Most transferred down or much lessor conferences

"Deion will be gone this time next year. He will either go to Florida or Miami."
He isn't going to Miami unless its assistant. Cristobol is recruiting Miami back to national prominence and he has some leash. And Deon not going anywhere as an assistant.

Deion is gone after this year. He can’t win up there for a number of reasons.
One a side note. They passed helmet communication this year. That’s gonna be a game changer. I think it will speed up the game. The communication cuts off at the snap of with 15 seconds on play clock.

Savion Red is gonna jump into the portal. Hell of a player. I saw the other day Sark was praising the freshmen RBs. That’s the way it goes. Loyalty is gone on both sides. Can’t be loyal to a player, you just never know what their plans are.

Used to be a big CFB fan. NIL and the portal have just about ruined it for me. Still better than NFL but NFL Jr has made it tough to watch/follow/be loyal.

Red never was going to get enough carries to be a key contributor. CJ Baxter and Jaydon Blue will get the bulk of the carries and the Freshman with the crazy name (Quintrevion?) probably also passed him in the depth chart.
