To date, CU has had almost as many transfers in (34) as transfers out (38). A net positive or negative for the roster?
- While the Transfer Portal is closing for those going out, CU can keep adding players. I believe that once the dust settles, and fans have calmed down about losing Seaton, this could just work out (54%, 78 Votes)
- A net negative. It's hard to be competitive when you have to restart the roster every season. Coach Prime did a poor job of maintaining any sort of continuity in the Champions Center (29%, 42 Votes)
- A net positive. We'll have to see how this plays out, but there is more talent (and playing experience) than what CU gave up through the Portal. Fans are going to be pleasantly surprised this fall (17%, 24 Votes)

Seven of CU's last eight commitments are from Power Four schools, with most having four-star ratings in their past. Thoughts?
- We'll see. With the Transfer Portal finally closing this weekend, we can finally let the dust settle and see what we have. I'm glad to see, though, that dollars are being spent on buying starters (48%, 95 Votes)
- I like the way CU has put together this roster. They started with production over promise, and have now been filling in the gaps with quality players who can start right away. I'm optimistic (46%, 91 Votes)
- It's about time. CU was spending too much time trolling through G6 and FCS rosters. Glad to see some quality players, with Power Four experience, joining the team at last (6%, 10 Votes)

Former five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton enters the Transfer Portal. Your reaction?
- I would like to see where Seaton ends up (and with how much cash). If this all about the money, I'm okay - it's a broken system. If the locker room is broken, though, that's a different story (52%, 147 Votes)
- Devastated. This is a real gut punch. Along with Julian Lewis, Seaton was the face of the program, not to mention a former first round NFL Draft pick. Seaton was the last player I expected to leave (26%, 74 Votes)
- Ready to move on. No one is irreplaceable, and CU has done a good job at recruiting offensive linemen the past few seasons. OC Marion's Go-Go offense doesn't require road graters. CU will be fine (22%, 64 Votes)

How well prepared are you for an off-season of negative news (and predictions) about your Buffs?
- Not prepared. I'm planning on ignoring most of the stories about my Buffs this off-season. We know that there are issues with the program. No need to have outsiders beat us down any further (44%, 60 Votes)
- I'm ready. CU and its fans are used to negative press, and it's not going to be any different this off-season. Bring it on ... CU is going to surprise (and upset) the pundits this fall! (43%, 59 Votes)
- I'm not convinced the stories will be negative. Yes, CU was 3-9, but with Julian Lewis and a flock of solid transfers coming in, pundits are going to predict a season for CU (13%, 17 Votes)

CU's Transfer Portal number has reached 30 incoming players. Thoughts?
- It's been a good week. The CU coaching staff has done a good job of filling many of the holes in the roster, but there are still some big fish out there to get (59%, 121 Votes)
- It's been a great week. From depressed to excited, we've gone from a roster with nothing but holes to a roster fans can rally around. A great week to be a Buff! (22%, 45 Votes)
- It's been an okay week. There are over two dozen new players coming in, but there is no guarantee they will work out. If the coaches do as poor a job with this group, the results will be the same (19%, 39 Votes)

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.
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??? 🙂
