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

Interesting responses to this thread. This guy is a pretty unbiased CFB handicapper in Vegas & he repeatedly asks what is the plan for CU after 2024 (?). None of the Prime sycophants have an answer for him.


the replies are pretty funny

"team looks damn solid on paper"

So if that 5 star tackle flips, they'll fall out of the top 100 in recruiting. I'm fine with people trying to say "he wants to win now" but they are completely neglecting he has no shot to win in the future if he just has to get 5 new OL starters every year in the portal (among other positions).

Let's be honest though, he isn't going to be there after his son leaves. And if he is, he's not building at all for the 2025 season.
 
He is playing powerball again, raid the portal and hope your numbers hit. If they do, he may start recruiting more high school talent. But this year seemed like a good year start to move to a 50/50 portal/HS class and instead he's gone like 95/5. He will be going into year 1 in year 3 if he entertains sticking around another year.
 
So apparently Seaton signed with Colorado after all. What a weird situation.

Must be amazing to be invested in a program that trolls all of college football by increasing its high school signings from 5 to 6 in the matter of just one day. What a a majestic and elaborate and triumphant reveal.
Supposedly deions plan all along is 40% upperclassmen transfers 40% underclassman transfers and 20% HS croots. Bold strategy cotton.

The problem is, CU gets railed in the media and on twitter the entire recruiting season and they become a non-factor on signing day....to the point where recruits don't see CU as a legitimate program. Think of all the publicity guys like Rhule, Cristobal and Drinkwitz got on signing day to help build their program.

The publicity Rhule got from signing Raiola and doing all those interviews was priceless. Signing day was a day for CFB writers and fans to take more potshots at Deion and expose the fact that he's not expecting to be there in 2025.

Deion can act like this is all part of his plan but I don't believe it. Deion was a brilliant marketer as a player. Still is. Not sure why he's letting this message get away from him. The last month has been a catastrophe for the image of the CU program. WAY more people (and players) now view Prime's CU as not a legitimate program. That's a problem for Deion because everything he's doing is built on people's image and perception of his program. And it's taken a beating over the last 6 weeks.

I hope you’re right but if they win in Lincoln they’ll be 3-0 to start the season and the hype train will be out of control again

He's counting on that. I think it all rests on wins now. If they go 7-5 or better then Deion will have a big "I told you so" to the media.

I actually think they will go 7-5 this year, maybe 8-4. I believe having a top 5 QB is that significant to your W/L. Shadildo will get them wins this year.

I guess you can boil it down to this: Deion's plan was to catch fire on the field in the first two seasons and use that momentum to attract recruits/portal guys to build the program. It's a really risky strategy bc it all depends on Shadildo/Hunter staying healthy. But they absolutely have to put up wins this year or Deion's entire strategy fails (bc he's not building a foundation on the program through HS recruits).

The only way Deion can keep this going at CU is to go 8-4 or 9-3 this year and create enough mystique/momentum in the media that he gets a huge haul in the portal. That was his strategy w year 1 and it didn't really work.

I don't think Sanders has that long of a plan. I fully expect him to retire for "medical reasons" at the end of the season and his kids go to the NFL, or at least one of them does.
