After taking down Utah, 85-73, the Buffs are 11-3, 2-0 in Big 12 play. Thoughts?
  • The Buffs finished Year One back in the Big 12 with a 3-17 conference record, so I'm just going to enjoy the wins as they come, and not worry too much about what they mean overall (58%, 77 Votes)
  • A nice start to the Big 12 season, including a road win at Arizona State. This is a good young team, and continues to improve. Fast start giving the Buff Nation optimism for the rest of the year (35%, 46 Votes)
  • Fool's gold, as the Buffs got a great draw to open the conference campaign. Arizona State and Utah are bottom feeders in the Big 12. The Buffs will be blown out by Texas Tech on Saturday (7%, 9 Votes)

CU picks up three Power Four commitments at quarterback, cornerback and offensive line. Thoughts?
  • I'm just enjoying the ride. After a month of defections, CU has picked up 20 new players in less than a week. Keep 'em coming, Coaches (and keep upping the Power Four list while you're at it) (57%, 112 Votes)
  • Nice. A little patience is paying off. The Transfer Class is only about half full. I expect we will get more P4 transfers and more four-star transfers as time goes on (26%, 52 Votes)
  • Three out of 20 transfers being from Power Four schools is not cause for celebration. More a time for a healthy concern about what Coach Prime plans to put on the field this fall (17%, 33 Votes)

12 of CU's first 16 Transfer Portal signees are on defense, with eight along the defensive line. Thoughts?
  • It's an excellent start, but the Buffs are still missing true defensive tackles, and still only have two linebacker commits. Call me in a month, when the roster is set - then we'll talk (49%, 98 Votes)
  • Ummm ... 16 signees, and not one of them from a Power Four conference school. Did I miss a meeting? Is CU going back to the "Pac-12"? Good luck beating Power Four teams with G-6 talent (27%, 54 Votes)
  • Great! Coach Prime and the coaches were not asleep at the switch, and are working hard to fill the biggest voids in the roster. Looking forward to even more defensive signees in the coming days (24%, 50 Votes)

CU's first wave of Transfer Portal commitments seem to indicate that Coach Prime is valuing production over ratings. Do you agree?
  • TBD. With the departures, both to graduation and the Portal, CU will need volume as much as value. I'm okay with the current list of signees, but still hoping for a few stars to sign with my Buffs (58%, 145 Votes)
  • Yes. CU had a number of four-star transfers last season, including Jaheim Oatis, Noah King, and Hykeem Williams, who didn't work out. I'm for getting players with proven worth, not potential (25%, 61 Votes)
  • No. This is just an excuse for not being able to recruit; pay; or develop talent. CU is putting together a fine looking FCS team ... and we'll see the results of that choice this fall (17%, 42 Votes)

Thoughts on CU's first wave of new recruits for the 2026 roster
  • We have to look at this weekend in perspective. Only Penn State and Wisconsin had more first weekend commits (and Penn State's haul all came from Iowa State). Hoping the momentum continues (44%, 92 Votes)
  • Guess I'll have to break out the ol' atlas to figure out CU's transfer list. Monmouth? Albany? Charlotte? I don't seem to remember these teams on anyone's list of football powers (36%, 76 Votes)
  • I like what I am seeing. OC Marion (and QB Julian Lewis!) have to be excited about the skill position pickups, and getting four defensive linemen is an excellent step towards retooling the defense (20%, 43 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??? 🙂
