Which of the following quotes from high school coaches about CU recruiting under Coach Prime to you is the most eye-brow raising?
  • Florida HS coach: “A CU offer is a big deal now to these kids. It was nothing last year. It’s a big deal now. That goes to show how great a job he’s done marketing himself" (51%, 144 Votes)
  • Valor Christian (CO) head coach: “If I had my son and he was being recruited there, it would be hard to send him to CU because I don’t want them to have that experience" (43%, 121 Votes)
  • Texas HS coach: “Deion is going to be able to do things that most coaches are not able to do and get away with saying things that most coaches may not be able to say and survive because he’s Prime" (6%, 15 Votes)

Big Ten "strongly considering" removing its requirement for league teams to play Power Five non-conference opponents. Thoughts?
  • I'd just like to see a level playing field, which means every conference having the same number of conference games and requirements for non-conference competition (77%, 172 Votes)
  • Going the wrong direction. Conferences should continue to require Power Five non-conference games. Quality games = better experience for fans (13%, 28 Votes)
  • Makes sense. The goal for any conference is to get as many teams qualified for the 12-team playoff as possible. Eliminating potential losses is one way to do that (10%, 22 Votes)

CU picks up two new defensive linemen: Arden Walker (Missouri) and JC transfer Zach Blackwood. Thoughts?
  • I'm just excited to get Arden Walker - Played for an SEC team (check), a Colorado prep star (check), son of a CU legacy (check). A nice day to be a Buff! (49%, 146 Votes)
  • Remember when the pundits said CU wouldn't be able to field a team due to a lack of defensive linemen? What's that - four commits in three days? Coach Prime proves 'em wrong - again! (36%, 109 Votes)
  • Glad to have the extra bodies, but, if we're being honest, these are development players and backups. Hopefully they will develop into starters ... but it probably won't happen this year (15%, 46 Votes)

CU's projected over/under projected win total of 3.5 wins is tied for the second-lowest in the Power Five. Thoughts?
  • Time to hop onto SportsBetting's website and place a bet. I don't know how many wins CU will post in Year One under Coach Prime, but it will definitely be four or more (45%, 127 Votes)
  • Not quite ready to say. There are another 10-15 new Buffs to add to the roster. My prediction could hinge on how the Buffs do in filling out the roster (35%, 99 Votes)
  • Sounds about right, if we're being honest. CU will be much improved, but the hill CU has to climb is so steep, this schedule may keep CU in the 3-4 win range (20%, 57 Votes)

What is your take on the four new transfer commitments CU received over the weekend?
  • A four-star defensive tackle and a four-star wide receiver, together with grad transfers at OL and DB? It's incredible the way this coaching staff is building this program (50%, 180 Votes)
  • Very happy to get Bishop Thomas to help plug the defensive front, and I trust that Jaylen Harris will help the wide receiver room. Not a bad weekend (33%, 117 Votes)
  • Rodrick Ward and Reggie Young are reaches (Utah State? Liberty?), Bishop Thomas has two games of experience, and Jaylen Ellis is yet another WR (don't we have enough?). In Prime we trust (I guess) (17%, 60 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??? 🙂
