CU receives a commitment from three-star defensive back Jamari Holliman from Miami. Thoughts?

  • Nice speed (11.2 in the 100), nice size (6'1"), from a competitive region (Miami), and a good attitude: "I feel I will be a dual-threat DB". I like this recruit! (31%, 68 Votes)
  • I hate to sound like a broken record here, but, once again, CU has picked up a recruit from a hotbed of talent (Miami) without a single Power Five offer other than CU. Sigh! (28%, 61 Votes)

Which quote from offensive coordinator Mike Sanford to you was the most interesting?

  • "The base offense is in. The base offense was really in during the spring in terms of being able to get to the concepts and the schemes that I wanted to get to. Now it is about window dressing" (26%, 48 Votes)

  • "B-Lew looks solid. Really good presence, good command ... J.T. was excited because he had his first full practice … He made a play today and got all excited, 'Oh man, I love football.'" (12%, 25 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??? 🙂
