Seydou Traore. He was one of their most impressive portal pickups and projected as a top 3 round NFL draft pick. The fact that he’s bolting is pretty eye opening.
It's gotta be NIL related? The CU 247 guy was on 1620 this past week and he admitted that their NIL was not really that great yet. He was thinking it will get better after a full year of Prime.

I WANT to believe that these guys are smart and just going "this whole thing is a shit show, I gotta get out of here".... but humans will suffer through amazing shit situations for the right $$$.

My guess is that the players are fine with the entire situation at CU except the money. Again, I hope it's more than that (since I'm a CU hater), but I'm not sure. As wacky as Deion is, his assistants are who these players work with day in and day out, and those assistants are very good and very competent.

He didn't completely clean house. I read there were still 12 guys left who were on last year's roster.

It's pretty amazing he put his son in this situation, but to Herb's point, maybe it's worth the money to Sheduer

I absolutely LOVED that Mcafee asked him after he said that people would see why they have all this room clearing up when they see the list, "when is that list coming out?"

.....uhhh....soon brother.

Yeah - there's no list haha.

Pretty sure he's just been taking the scraps of Florida State's attrition hasn't he?
Yes. He has gotten some scraps and some redshirt freshmen with tons of eligibility, but here's the thing, he needs ready made starters. And even if he was able to find a few (he won't find 22) he'll have absolutely zero depth behind them with any sort of experience or continuity. He has totally blown this and I'm just waiting for CU fans to admit it. An OL redshirt freshman with 3 career snaps against a small school in garbage time is the type of guy you bring in for 2 seasons from now, not September.

This is going to be 50% tragedy and 50% comedy. And add that he is throwing his son out there with these misfits. I'm willing to bet any amount of money that he pulls his kid out and claims some sort of injury early in the season to maintain his eligibility instead of wasting a year on what is sure to be a circus. He'll throw the backup QB under the bus quick. Just watch.

One other thing on this, I said from moment Deion signed w CU that he should have held out for a G5 program in FL or GA. This would have worked out way better at S Florida or UCF.

This was always going to be hard to do this strategy at Colorado. It's just too far away for three southern kids. Colorado in its heyday was bringing in California kids from south central and Compton, etc. Prime is like 98% hitting FL and GA and the rest of the south. Boulder is a culture shock for those kids.
