And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

You seriously have to wonder, given the number of recruits that have come in for year (or even part of a semester) that have left, how anyone can buy into the bullshit that Prime is selling. It's rats leaving a sinking ship and I don't see how that's not obvious to kids.

I agree 100%

My only guess is that they can put on a show when you arrive in Boulder. It's a beautiful setting. You meet Shadildo, Warren Sapp. They give you the "you want to play for someone who look like you" speech. Throw a little bit of NIL $$ and I think there are enough naieve 19-20 yr olds that will fall for that.

But funnily enough everyone who's been there a year sees right through it. Hell they're getting guys who've only been there 3.5 months and they want out LOL

I'm very curious if the media will rev up the hype machine all over again this year, or if they will actually cover them in the same way they'd cover any other "rebuilding" program. I obviously don't expect them to pile on all of a sudden, but the fucking slobber-fest during the first month of the year last season was absolutely nauseating and bizarre.

I wonder if it's NIL that is the problem. No secret that CU doesn't have the resources to compete nationally right now in football, and the transfer portal game is no. 1 a contest of who has the biggest bag. If USC is having issues making sure its collectives actually pay guys, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some missing/bounced checks. The whole "Deion is pushing guys out" narrative doesn't really make sense when they are well under the scholarship limit and could add 15+ guys as things stand.

Deion's strategy would work at a place like Auburn where you have a good talent pipeline and can pony up to get top talent in the portal. I think you need a Leipold type to really succeed in Boulder.

Agreed. I’d Deion leaves after this year and S. Lewis has a decent year at SDSU I wonder if they would go after him

I wonder if those $$ men at CU are wising up to the fact that Deion is gone on 1/1/25. Deion's basically telegraphing his intention to leave after this year (he doesn't say it, but his actions do).

If I was a money man at CU I wouldn't want to pay for players in this situation. It's all gonna get torn down on 1/1/25 anyway and they'll need more $$$ to rebuild. Might as well save it this fall and hope Deion's skill guys eke out a 6-6 and a bowl game. Then you rebuild after everyone leaves.
