CU receives a commitment from Recruiting Class of 2024 four-star athlete Aaron Butler. Thoughts?
  • I love this commit, but: a) It's a long time between now and Signing Day in December; and b) Butler has already flipped once before (he was a USC commit in January). Fingers crossed he sticks (42%, 128 Votes)
  • The next Travis Hunter? Or perhaps the next Cormani McClain? A top ten California recruit, Butler would be the 13th-highest rated CU signee in the past 20 years! Welcome, Mr. Butler! (41%, 125 Votes)
  • Hate to sound ungrateful, but CU can only play so many cornerbacks/wide receivers at a time. Love this four-star commit - would really love to get a four-star offensive lineman (17%, 54 Votes)

CU season opener at TCU selected for Fox Sports "Big Noon Saturday". Thoughts?
  • Only the third Pac-12 team to ever get this slot. I am continuously amazed at the pull of Coach Prime. Okay, ESPN, you're next - Game Day at Folsom for the Nebraska game! (50%, 147 Votes)
  • Love it!! Coach Prime said he was comin', and Fox is buying what CU is selling. Great for the players; great for recruiting. Go get 'em, Buffs - prove the haters wrong! (34%, 100 Votes)
  • I like CU getting the publicity, but I'm a bit wary. The line has gone from 17.5 points to 20.5 ... Hate to see the Coach Prime era kickoff with a blowout loss. Sorry, but this could backfire (16%, 47 Votes)

Which of the following "By the Numbers" statistic gives you the most hope for the 2023 season?
  • That the incoming players had more than double the number of Power Five offers (530 to 251) than did the players who have left the program (36%, 105 Votes)
  • That of the 62 incoming players, 15 were either four- or five-star prospects, while none of the 55 players leaving were four- or five-star prospects (35%, 102 Votes)
  • That CU's new defensive backfield has two five-star prospects and four four-star prospects (and that doesn't count three-star starter Trevor Woods). CU's defensive backfield is going to be great! (29%, 82 Votes)

Group of Five coaches concerned about poaching of players by Power Five conference schools. Rate your level of concern:
  • Medium. The system is certainly broken, but CU is now (finally) playing in the greener pastures. Let's enjoy being in the country club for awhile, now that Coach Prime is in Boulder (62%, 164 Votes)
  • High. Just as CU might get a player from a G5 school, it's just as likely that a quality Buff (e.g., Christian Gonzalez; Mekhi Blackmon) will flee Boulder. They system is out of control (27%, 73 Votes)
  • Low. If the "have's" now includes CU, and the "have nots" include Colorado State, then all is right with the world. Let Ft. Collins et al. be a feeder for the new and improved Buffs! (11%, 29 Votes)

After a backup quarterback, which unit on the offense is most in need of one of CU's last ten available scholarships?
  • Offensive line. I didn't realize that five of CU's 11 new offensive linemen had no Power Five offers out of high school. Players used to Power Five competition are still very much in need (52%, 135 Votes)
  • Running backs. CU has four-star freshman Dylan Edwards, graduate transfer Kavosiey Smoke and Anthony Hankerson, but that's it. Another experienced back is a must (33%, 86 Votes)
  • Tight end. With Seydou Traore back in the Transfer Portal, the Buffs are left with three returning tight ends having a combined eight catches in 2022. Help is desperately needed (15%, 39 Votes)

  1. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
