How would you grade CU's Recruiting Class of 2022 after the Early Signing Day?
- B ... Good recruits across the board, but the Class is lacking in star quality, and in help in the trenches. I'm assuming the lines will be bolstered through the Transfer Portal (57%, 236 Votes)
- C ... No four-star recruits ... Only a handful of Colorado kids ... Swings and misses at Signing Day announcements. A meh Class after a meh 2021 season (23%, 94 Votes)
- An A ... Rivals has CU as the No. 4 Class in the Pac-12 (two of the three teams ranked higher have more signees). Fans haven't been paying attention, but Dorrell & Co. put together a strong Class (10%, 41 Votes)
- D ... Until or unless CU decides to commit resources to recruiting, and hire good recruiters as coaches, CU will continue to struggle (10%, 41 Votes)

Signing Day, 2021! What are your expectations from CU's signing day announcements?
- I'm still hoping that there will be a surprise or two (here's looking at you, four-star DE Samuel Okunlola!) to help me find joy in the Class of 2022 (48%, 174 Votes)
- A strong Class, with little drama. The Buffs are currently sitting with the No. 2 Class in the Pac-12 (take that, haters!). This will be a fun Wednesday! (27%, 98 Votes)
- Not a bad Class in terms of rankings, but that's mostly due to other Pac-12 schools having smaller classes/new coaches rather than anything CU is doing (25%, 93 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from a Buff legacy, three-star athlete Oakie Salave'a. Thoughts?
- CU has lost some of its ties to American Samoa over the years. Hopefully picking up the No. 1 prospect - and the starting quarterback - will help restart the pipeline to the Pacific islands (56%, 180 Votes)
- Sounds like a good pickup to me. Salave'a is 6'2", 185-pounds, a leader and a winner. His father was a good player and a great leader for the Buffs. Works for me! (31%, 99 Votes)
- Another two-star prospect (Rivals) on the eve of Signing Day. I would like to say I'm optimistic about this Class, but it's getting more and more difficult to have faith in this coaching staff (13%, 44 Votes)

Which Pac-12 North team made the best choice for its new head coach?
- Washington ... Kalen DeBoer is the only one of the new coaches with head coaching experience. He went 9-3 with Fresno State this year, and will bring stability and growth to the Huskies (45%, 114 Votes)
- Oregon ... Dan Lanning may not be known to most fans, but he led the nation's best defense at Georgia, and is a strong recruiter. The Ducks will have the last laugh (34%, 87 Votes)
- Washington State ... Jake Dickert took over in an impossible situation after the Rolovich firing, but led the Cougars to a win over Washington and a bowl. A very good start which will carry over (21%, 54 Votes)

Oregon hires Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning to be the Ducks' new head coach. Thoughts?
- Do I have this right? Oregon picked a Georgia DC (Tucker's replacement) with few ties to the west. Didn't Oregon learn from Taggart, Cristobal (and Tucker)? If Lanning is good, he'll leave (66%, 160 Votes)
- Looks like a good pickup for Oregon. Georgia's defense was dominant this year, and Lanning, at 35, is considered one of the hot coaching prospects in the nation (20%, 47 Votes)
- Color me unimpressed (and a little happy). Oregon didn't get a "splash hire", and that bodes well for the Buffs and the rest of the Pac-12 in closing the gap with Oregon (14%, 34 Votes)

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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
