If no Buffs other than Shedeur and Travis are drafted, rate your level of concern over how that might affect Coach Prime's recruiting
  • Low. One thing top recruits all have is ego. They all believe they are the next great thing. I don't think they will be judging CU on the number of Buffs who are drafted in a given year (51%, 83 Votes)
  • Medium. It would be a black mark, and would certainly be used against CU by other schools in the recruiting wars, but I believe most recruits would give CU a pass, even after Year Two (41%, 66 Votes)
  • High. The Coach Prime mantra is all about getting players ready to play in the NFL. If 14 Buffs work out for the scouts on every team, and none of them are drafted? That's a bad look, my friends (8%, 13 Votes)

Rate your level of interest in news on how the House settlement is working out ...
  • Low. You think that this Judge's ruling will set the parameters for the future? I'm not even convinced this Judge will set parameters which will last until next season (47%, 50 Votes)
  • Medium. I am certainly interested in how the details work out, but I'll leave it to others to sort out the details ... and then explain them to me down the road (39%, 42 Votes)
  • High. It's only the future of collegiate athletics we are talking about. This judge is laying the foundation for how college football's new building will take shape. We need to stay up to speed (14%, 15 Votes)

The second Transfer Portal officially opens Wednesday, April 16th, and runs to Friday, April 25th. How active do you think CU will be?
  • Very. CU only has about 75 scholarship players on the roster, and will lose some players next week. I'm looking for a very active month of May in signing new Buffs (43%, 78 Votes)
  • Not very, at least compared to the last two seasons. Coach Prime is doing a good job in building a stable roster. There will be turnover, but it will seem tame as CU is reloading, not rebuilding (32%, 58 Votes)
  • I'm actually more interested in how many Buffs Coach Prime will lose. If the number of players leaving in the second window is relatively small, I will be encouraged about how CU will fare this fall (25%, 45 Votes)

Coach Prime: “The surest bets in this draft are those two young men, and I didn’t stutter or stammer when I said that”. Thoughts?
  • Love it. Great to see Coach Prime have the backs of Shedeur and Travis. It was great to have CU on full display on the NFL Network. Nothing wrong with the confidence (70%, 80 Votes)
  • Glad to have CU's Pro Day be telecast, but it may be time for Coach Prime to start focusing more on his 2025 team. The Buffs are in the middle of spring practices ... how is the current team doing? (25%, 29 Votes)
  • I'm just concerned that these types of quotes will come back on Coach Prime. Neither Buff are likely to go No. 1, so if Shedeur falls out of the Top Ten ... the haters will have a field day (5%, 5 Votes)

Which of the following of Coach Prime's innovations do you think will have the greatest impact on college football?
  • Reliance on the Transfer Portal to overhaul a program. Coach Prime was criticized, but Arizona State and Indiana followed the model to take teams to the College Football Playoff (49%, 70 Votes)
  • Bringing in NFL experience to help lure players. While other schools can't get gold jackets on their staffs, schools (like North Carolina) see the lure of having NFL players on staff (32%, 46 Votes)
  • Not relying on building a program with freshmen classes. While other schools haven't completely adopted the model, freshmen recruiting Classes are getting smaller in Power Four conferences (19%, 27 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.

    SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
