Which post-scrimmage Karl Dorrell quote to you was the most encouraging?
  • "I'm excited about what (Daniel Arias') future's going to look like ... We had so many other pieces before. I just think it's his turn now to be at the top of the list" (52%, 66 Votes)
  • That last drill there, when you're holding teams to field goals and get a last-second touchdown with an interception, you're playing pretty good defense" (31%, 39 Votes)
  • "Jayle (Stacks) ran the ball well again today for the second scrimmage in a row and I thought Deion (Smith) ran the ball better today" (17%, 21 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from Arizona offensive tackle Luke Eckardt. Thoughts?
  • Eckardt still has four years to play four. He got bigger (and presumably stronger and smarter) while at Arizona, and CU needs offensive line help. Not a glamourous pickup, but one which is needed (65%, 136 Votes)
  • A solid pickup. Offensive line coach Kyle DeVan recruited Eckardt when he was at Arizona, so DeVan is already aware of what he's getting (19%, 39 Votes)
  • Another recruit with exactly one other Power Five offer. This is a sad trend of Colorado football. I'm not sure it's sustainable to expect to win with recruits who are not highly recruited (16%, 35 Votes)

CU's seventh commitment - and first from the state of Colorado - comes from three-star tight end Andrew Metzer. Thoughts?
  • One of the top 50 tight ends in the nation, and one of the top ten players out of Colorado overall? Not bad. Glad for an in-state commit, and a quality one at that (75%, 138 Votes)
  • It may just be the current relative strength of the two programs, but it would seem that the two new commits to the basketball team are more exciting than the new football recruit (19%, 35 Votes)
  • Once again, CU is apparently settling for a prospect with only a handful of Power Five offers. Are we sure that there isn't a quality tight end (with Power Five experience) out there in the Portal? (6%, 11 Votes)

Nick Saban on the current state of college football: “I don’t think what we’re doing right now is a sustainable model”
  • Nice of the Alabama coach to acknowledge the problem. If the schools which benefit the most from a world of unrestricted NIL and a Transfer Portal akin to free agency are worried, it's real (51%, 92 Votes)
  • If Saban admits unrestricted NIL "creates a situation where you can basically buy players", does that mean he will step up and not allow it to happen at UA? I'm betting "no" (30%, 54 Votes)
  • I wouldn't mind the new world of NIL and the Transfer Portal ... if my school was a participant. Unfortunately, CU and its boosters have chosen to stay on the sidelines (and get left behind) (19%, 35 Votes)

CU receives commitments from two Texans, running back AJ Newberry and defensive back Adrian Wilson. Thoughts?
  • I guess we'll see how this works out, but, in the age of the Transfer Portal, should CU be using its 85 scholarships on flyers? My vote would be "no". Still waiting for some exciting roster news (44%, 89 Votes)
  • Both players seem like quality additions, and are both coming to CU in positions of need. This coaching staff seems to know what they like, so I'm in on these Texans (33%, 66 Votes)
  • Two Power Five offers out of two commits? Two players not yet even rated by 247 Sports? Stop me when the mediocrity stops, and CU gets recruiters who get that you can't win without quality talent (23%, 47 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??? 🙂
