Five-star 2025 receiver Winston Watkins, Jr. has backed off his commitment to Colorado today. He was the first recruit to give the Buffs his pledge after Deion Sanders was announced as the new head coach. Miami hosted him on a visit this fall and it truly does sound like he just wants to continue taking visits and exploring the process versus this decision being related to anything specifically going on with CU this season. I do expect the Buffs to remain in the picture but there will be a host of schools ready to make a push for him as the process moves ahead. It's a tough break for Colorado right now and not great for optics when combined with the losing streak, but there is a long time until the next class signs and several months for the Buffs to get right back in the top spot.
