Other than quarterback Ju Ju Lewis, which of the following freshmen do you believe will have the greatest impact at CU?
  • Defensive lineman London Merritt - A consensus four-star recruit, Merritt is an edge-rusher trained at the IMG Academy. Merritt will be a beast in Rob Livingston's defense (48%, 127 Votes)
  • Offensive lineman Carde Smith - A consensus four-star lineman who took his visits with Ju Ju. Along with Jordan Seaton, Smith will help turn the offensive line into a strength (40%, 104 Votes)
  • Wide receiver Quanell X Farrakhan, Jr. - A consensus four-star wideout from Texas, Farrakhan has all of the tools and speed to be the next great receiver at CU (12%, 31 Votes)

How do you feel about Coach Prime's philosophy of signing a small freshman Class, and relying more on the Transfer Portal?
  • I think Coach Prime is evolving his strategies. He is taking more freshmen, but still being selective. The ratio of four-star recruits in the Class of 2025 is amazing! (78%, 300 Votes)
  • In the age of the Transfer Portal, this makes perfect sense. You need players who have proven themselves. Let someone else "develop" players ... and then recruit them in a year or two (19%, 72 Votes)
  • Not a real fan. Yes, you need transfers, but in order to sustain greatness, you have to have a core of young players who can contribute. To be a complete program, you have to develop from within (3%, 13 Votes)

Rate your level of interest in Signing Day on Wednesday ("The Ticker" returns at 6:00 a.m., MT!)
  • High. The quarterback of the future, Ju Ju Lewis, plus a bunch of four-star recruits to supplement what has already proven to be a good roster? Count me in! (73%, 264 Votes)
  • Medium. There are 15 known recruits, and only 2-3 potential flips/commitments on the board. Will be glad to get this Class signed and sealed, but not expecting a day of great drama (23%, 82 Votes)
  • Low. CU will have a Class with 15-18 members. Coach Prime is all about the Transfer Portal, which opens Monday. To be honest, I'll be more interested in roster upgrades over the next few weeks (4%, 14 Votes)

Which of the following storylines to you this week will be the one you will follow most closely?
  • Signing Day on Wednesday. Coach Prime and his staff appear poised to sign a small Class, but one loaded with talent. Will there be any last minute additions (or defections)? (82%, 218 Votes)
  • How the College Football Playoff turns out, which will impact where CU will be playing its bowl game. Is it a given that CU will play a Big 12 team in the Alamo Bowl, or are there other options? (15%, 39 Votes)
  • The men's basketball team taking on Colorado State. It's still football season, but a home game against the Rams, who always give the Buffs a fight, is not one to miss (3%, 8 Votes)

With all of the ranked Big 12 teams winning, it will be Arizona State and Iowa State in the Big 12 title game. Your reaction?
  • Indifferent. We're living in a world where CU finished tied for the league's best record, and was in the hunt for a title berth the final weekend. I'm good (57%, 189 Votes)
  • Upset. Baylor mauled Kansas yesterday, 45-17. That's what the Buffs should have done. CU had a clear path to the title game, but blew it (33%, 110 Votes)
  • A little relieved, to be honest. The Big 12 champion will likely be a low seed sent on the road to be fodder for a Top Five team. Better to win a bowl game than to bow out meekly in a playoff game (10%, 34 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??? 🙂
