Why are there 3 unsigned players on the commitment list

The Cyclones just dusted the floor with KU, 68-53. Rediculous how they good this team is at home (winning 75% of their games in Hilton over the last 50 years). This is a helluva team with great shooters and gurads who can really play. They are fun to watch.

It's still VERY early in the 2024 recruiting cycle, but the Buffs have jumped to No. 15 already in the overall team recruiting rankings for the class with today's addition of mid-level 3-star offensive line commit Talan Chandler. So far, Colorado has an average star rating of 3.25, which is better than four of the teams ahead of it on the list. Of the teams among that group with a better overall star ranking only three of them (Florida, Ohio State & Michigan State) have the same amount or fewer commits so far. That is all to say that it has been a strong start to the cycle for CU and it's only going to improve.

A commitment from Ju'Juan Johnson tomorrow would bump the Buffs up two spots to No. 13 allowing them to leapfrog Michigan State and Texas Tech (which has 7 commitments) in the Rivals rankings.

Right here:

Strange to watch this game where neither is a major factor. Still it’s UNC vs Duke so it wlll be hard fought. I just wonder if the magic is gone for a bit.

I knew they were not going to sit by while Prime was promoting religion. It looks like these fanatics are raising hell and demand a meeting with the president.

Good evening everybody. Buffs taking on the Golden Bears tonight. Cal currently stands 3-18 overall and 2-8 in the Pac-12. As we know one of those wins came from Colorado back on Dec. 31. Javon Ruffin active during warmups and is wearing a knee brace. He has been inactive since the UCLA game on Jan. 14. The only category that Cal has to hang their hats on is their .331 3-point percentage, 4th in the Pac-12.

Senior guard Joel Brown, who averages 6.4 ppg, landed 21 last time against Colorado and all of their starters hit double-digits. They're currently 11th in the Pac-12 for scoring offense hitting 61.50 per game. The student section will be packed. Will anyone else be at the CU Events Center tonight?

Tonight's starters
KJ Simpson
J'Vonne Hadley
Nique Clifford
Tristan da Silva
Lawson Lovering

UCLA
Joel Brown (6.4 ppg)
Kuany Kuany (9.1 ppg)
Grant Newell (7.9 ppg)
Sam Alajiki (5.8 ppg)
Lars Thiemann (10.5 ppg)

No surprise here. A player without a position. When you look at Tucker's classes, man were they massive failures. Outside of the few big commits like Rice and Gonzales, his classes were awful.

Rivals has unveiled its transfer portal rankings and Colorado checks in at No. 1 on the list after pulling in a wave of transfers this offseason highlighted by the No. 1 overall player, Travis Hunter. The Buffs are 555 points better than the second team on the list, Arizona State, showing just how dominant Deion Sanders and his staff have been adding top transfers so far.

You can read the full breakdown at the link above.

I will publish today's NewsStand later today.

Pregame reading, we were able to speak to ADRG after the presser yesterday and long story short, he is pleased with what Coach Prime has brought to CU's table.

Two months of many FaceTimes, one-on-ones with players and parents, visits and explaining the vision of Colorado football produced a class that could renew hope for a program that lost it all not too long ago.

CU’s stock is looking up.

More on yesterday’s presser:

Does anybody know if any of the previous freshmen commitments who left, ended up signing with a p-5 team?

Not a big surprise here. We will get to see him more and see what kind of player he really is outside of all the drama and hype

In the same building where he was unveiled as Colorado's head coach two months earlier, Deion Sanders officially put together the program's highest-rating recruiting class in 15 years

It's why the man was hired

Exciting day ahead! Deion Sanders will be speaking tomorrow from 2 to 2:30 p.m and you can stream it live on BuffsTV.

The three Colorado-related announcements for tomorrow include Ellis Robinson IV, two-star CB William James and Cormani McClain. Robinson is announcing at 10 a.m. MST and he is likely to choose Georgia. James is heavily leaning toward Mississippi State. Eyes will be on McClain tomorrow to see if he makes it official with Colorado.

Craig and I in full matrix mode with our sunglasses, we reflect on the last two months and of course discuss Coach Prime's comments at today's NSD presser.

Comments invited from the haters. My opinion is this is a great hire. Payton is an offensive guru and QB guru. With Denver's defense being good as it is this should bode well going forward.
