A month after TCU safety Atanza Vonger committed to transfer to Colorado, he has reentered the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
- What's the old saying? "You can't miss what you never had". Vonger never enrolled, and is sounds like there may have been some off field issues in getting him here. Move on without looking back (74%, 190 Votes)
- A tough loss. Vonger was a former four-star prospect. He also had three years of eligibility remaining, and was a transfer in a position of need. Sorry to see him off the board (14%, 36 Votes)
- I'm just interested to see how CU uses the new available scholarship. Hopefully, there is another quality defensive back out there looking for a home. Fingers crossed (12%, 32 Votes)

CU adds two new members to the Class of '22 - tight end Zach Courtney and defensive back Ronald Lewis. Thoughts?
- A nice day to be a Buff. CU's Class is now ranked 28th in the nation (4th in the Pac-12). Not sure that can be sustained, but its nice to see CU near the Top 25 six months from Signing Day (59%, 107 Votes)
- Okay, I guess. Both are undersized (Courtney is 235 pounds; Lewis 175), and Courtney was not even rated by 247 Sports, even though he plays in Texas. Trust the coaches - again. (25%, 46 Votes)
- Nice pickups! It sounds like Lewis can play every position in the defensive backfield, and Courtney's size (6'7") might allow this two-way star to play multiple positions as well (16%, 29 Votes)

Senior quarterback Sam Noyer announces that he has entered the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
- All I know is that Noyer is the first Buff QB to leave school with a winning record since Joel Klatt. He was a team player, a true Buff, and I wish him well in his future endeavors (55%, 194 Votes)
- Not really surprised. CU has two quality QB's who had the entire spring to learn the system, and Noyer could probably heard from the coaches that, if he wants to play, it will be elsewhere (32%, 113 Votes)
- Shocked, especially at the timing. Noyer was reported to be doing well on his recovery from shoulder surgery, and was ready to compete to keep his job in the fall. Odd move in early June (13%, 44 Votes)

Bob Lopez, CU’s director of player personnel, on CU's roster: "We feel like we're in a really good place". Agree?
- I'm not sure how it will all pan out, but, at least for now, it appears that this coaching staff has a good feel for recruiting and the transfer portal. Fingers crossed! (53%, 133 Votes)
- Chiaverini said "we’ve closed the gap in total talent in the conference". We'll see - the pressure is really on him to produce this fall (31%, 79 Votes)
- Unquestionably. Up and down the lineup, there have been upgrades. Between the recruits and the transfers, the Buffs have really filled in the gaps well (16%, 41 Votes)

Stanford's David Shaw "pissed" at Fox for scheduling opener v. Kansas State at 11:00 a.m. CT. Thoughts?
- Shaw needs to put on his big boy pants and deal with it. He has all of Fall Camp to get his players ready for the early kickoff, and national exposure is what the Pac-12 desperately needs (46%, 95 Votes)
- Just another example of how the Pac-12 has no power in these negotiations. Notice the LSU game at UCLA is not a Pac-12 After Dark game. Situation normal for the weak Pac-12 conference (39%, 80 Votes)
- Totally agree with Shaw. No reason to disadvantage Pac-12 teams by having their players face 9:00 a.m. (body clock) kickoffs. Oregon will face the same issue Sept. 11th v. Ohio State (15%, 30 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??? 🙂
