Derrick White named President of Basketball Strategy; donates $2 million to men's basketball. Thoughts?
- What I'm impressed by most is that White only played one season for the Buffs. How many other rich alumni athletes are out there? Can someone help the football team - and soon? (52%, 13 Votes)
- A great day to be a Buff! It will be great to have White assist on all aspects of CU basketball, and the $2 million donation will be huge in making CU competitive in the Big 12 (40%, 10 Votes)
- Not sure what "President of Basketball Strategy" means, or how much time White will be able to spend in Boulder. A good idea, but I'm not sure it's a game-changer (8%, 2 Votes)

NFL decides not to conduct a Supplemental Draft; informs Brendan Sorsby he'll have to wait for 2027 Draft. Thoughts?
- I hope this is a cautionary tale for players in every sport. There are - as there should be - serious consequences to gambling on your team. Hopefully, other players will now think twice (52%, 58 Votes)
- I like it! - "As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability". Take a seat, Sorsby! (45%, 50 Votes)
- Not really fair to Sorsby. The NFL had plenty of opportunities over the past month to let Sorsby know its plans. A little late to pull the rug out from underneath a player (3%, 3 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from four-star defensive lineman Ben'Jarvius Shumaker. Thoughts?
- It's an excellent commitment ... if it holds. CU has picked up two commitments - and lost two commitments - in the past week. Call me in December when Shumaker actually signs with CU (37%, 17 Votes)
- A great day for Coach Prime and the Buffs! Not only is Shumaker a flip from Ole Miss, but he is one of the Top 100 rated recruits in the entire nation. Welcome, Mr. Shumaker! (33%, 15 Votes)
- I'm glad to see Coach Prime and the staff taking high school recruiting seriously. This Recruiting Class may not pay dividends in 2027, but will (hopefully) lay a foundation for the future (30%, 14 Votes)

CU loses a second commitment in a week, with three-star offensive lineman Jaiden Lindsay flipping his commitment to North Carolina. Thoughts?
- Nature of the beast, I guess. Two weeks after Lindsay said he loved the family feel at CU, he's gone. Guess the "family feel" at North Carolina had more green attached to it. Sigh (59%, 61 Votes)
- It's still almost six full months to Signing Day, so the Recruiting Class is going to remain fluid. If recruits have to be lost, I'm at least glad to see it's to other Power Four schools (34%, 35 Votes)
- Never like to lose a commitment, especially in the trenches. CU's offensive line needs all the help - and continuity - it can get. Sorry to see Lindsay go (7%, 7 Votes)

As spring turns into summer, are you more or less optimistic about CU's 2026 season?
- About the same. We don't know what is going on in the Champions Center, anymore than we did when spring ball ended in April. Hope for the best, expect the worst ... the life of a Buff fan (59%, 83 Votes)
- More optimistic. Coach Prime has been in Boulder this summer. It's showing in recruiting, and it will show in games this fall. The pundits have dismissed CU ... and they will look silly this fall (32%, 45 Votes)
- Less optimistic. They can't all be wrong, can they? All of the preseason magazines have CU at the bottom of the Big 12, with little or no chance at a bowl game. Have to take the negativity seriously (9%, 12 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??? 🙂
