What grade would you give the CU Recruiting Class of 2024 (so far)?
- An A ... How soon we forget how bad it was before Coach Prime. Ten four-star commitments (and counting) - we are in a brave new world of competing with the blue bloods for recruits (43%, 172 Votes)
- A B ... Some very good prospects, and the coaching staff certainly addressed needs along both lines, but the lack of a Signing Day surprise diluted some of my enthusiasm for Signing Day, 2023 (38%, 152 Votes)
- A C ... Coach Prime had a full year to recruit this Class, but came home with a Class ranked lower than the one they put together in three weeks a year ago. A decent Class, but not what we hoped for (19%, 78 Votes)

CU announces deals for five future non-conference games, giving the Buffs seven home games in three of the next five seasons. Thoughts?
- Like this. The rest of the college football world has seven or eight home games every season. Glad to see CU finally trying to get an advantage for wins and bowl bids (that everyone else already has) (59%, 163 Votes)
- We may not like it, but if CU is going to have a seat at the big boy table later this decade, CU needs to be relevant nationally ... and as long as Coach Prime is in town, CU will sell tickets (31%, 86 Votes)
- Not a fan. Coach Mac I said that if you want to be the best, you have to play the best. Not putting Delaware and Northern Colorado in that category. Seems like CU is selling out and paying for wins (10%, 29 Votes)

CU loses two offensive line commits in one day; one to academics, the other to the Duck$ of Oregon. Thoughts?
- Yes, CU is in desperate need of offensive line help, but there is still plenty of time to get more commits (and CU wrestled five-star OL Jordan Seaton away from the Ducks, so it's all good) (45%, 125 Votes)
- The loss of Walker is what it is - we don't know if the academic issues were on his side or CU's. But losing Bedford to Uncle Phil and Nike U. is harder to take (32%, 88 Votes)
- Not a good day. Issiah Walker was one of the highest-rated offensive line junior college prospects, and Bedford was a four-year starter at Indiana. Tough to lose these two (23%, 66 Votes)

CU picks up four transfers through the Portal on Sunday, including two defensive linemen. Thoughts?
- Another great day to be a Buff. Two much needed defensive linemen, with three of the four new Buffs having four- or five-star ratings in their careers. Is this CU we're talking about? (61%, 196 Votes)
- Glad to get the two defensive linemen, but neither of them have seen much playing time .... I hope that both will live up to their potential, and not live up to what they have produced so far (31%, 98 Votes)
- Always glad to welcome new Buffs, but the two-star QB from Vanderbilt doesn't seem to fit the need for a backup with experience ... and another four-star WR? Love 'em, but there are other needs (8%, 25 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from Liberty defensive back Preston Hodge. Thoughts?
- An experienced defensive back with high grades and an impressive offer sheet from Power Five schools. I like it - welcome to the Black-and-Gold, Mr. Hodge! (55%, 102 Votes)
- CU is limited in the number of available scholarships, and we're still waiting for experienced help along the defensive front. Hope this is a good use of a scarce resource. In Prime we trust! (30%, 56 Votes)
- Went the JUCO route out of high school, and then very few offers before he landed at Liberty. I'm sure he's going to add quality depth to the defensive backfield, but not sure much more than that (15%, 29 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??? 🙂
