The university confirmed that "Coach Prime" has made no off-campus contacts with recruiting prospects since he was hired there in early December 2022.

Zero.

None.

It's not a different recruiting style. It's that Sanders doesn't care about the future of the program as he is leaving after this season. He doesn't give 2 shits about Colorado or what happens there after he leaves. It's about making money for himself and his sons.

‘If I recruit one high school, I’ll have to recruit more.’ - Prime, more or less.

Can anybody in Colorado report on what the average fan's reaction to this nonsense is? Have they come to the realization that they've been conned?

I know lots of Americans struggle with recognizing when someone is absolutely milking them dry these days but I am curious anyway.

Alright, not being an apologist here as he comes off as a complete egotistical douche canoe there. But a couple points he made aren't wrong.
1. He's right, his name has enough bravado that he's going to cause a lot of drama if he goes and visits 1 school and not another.
2. His personal experience about not wanting Bobby Bowden in his home is probably real and makes sense.

That being said, visiting recruits is a grind and probably mainly just something he doesn't want to do, but he also doesn't have to. He's famous enough the recruits will come to him, so why would he visit recruits?


I'm a sales guy, if I was famous enough that customers were knocking on my door to try and buy from me - I'm sure as shit not prospecting and setting up sales trips to knock on doors. I'm just picking up my phone and getting paid.

I don't know why I went down this rabbit hole this morning but I was curious enough to see if his transfer portal comment was valid. In coming transfers, 25. So, he's not lying there. Brought in 7 high school recruits, 32 total recruits for 2024. Not bad right? 14 outgoing transfers from the program. So really, back that number down to 18.

It also appears Prime doesn't recruit Colorado.

I don't get the appeal.
