They are playing Iowa in the sweet sixteen. Going to be a tough game. If they can guard Iowa top shooter they could win. Going to be a tough task. Good luck 🍀 ladies.

Hunter #9 WR. Where is he more valuable and have a better future, DB or WR? I go back and forth on this one but still think it’s DB

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Buff4Life is phasing out of NIL, with the resources all directed at 5430. Here's the announcement:

Rated by Rivals as the No. 10-ranked prospect in North Carolina and currently No. 23 at his position, Trajen Odom has a long list of spring visits on his schedule and Boulder is one of the stops. He’ll be on campus during Colorado’s spring practice on April 12.

More on his recruitment and where CU stands:

I think his comments are what every parent does so is kind of a non story to me. Good players have for decades tried to steer where they land. I don’t blame any of them. Lots of careers have been derailed by getting drafted by poorly run organizations

More importantly if these two can go high first round it just help recruiting even more. I don’t know who all is coming out but it’s hard for me to fathom a top 10 pick for either today. Big season could change that quickly. Good for them and great for CU

Another good class of signal callers this year. Nothing like last year but still strong.

Definitely some favorites and some great players but it does feel more fun to be in a league that isn’t the big 2 and everyone else. Getting excited for the new matchups already.

USC to SMU.

"I think some of the things that we did well we'll try to incorporate and keep going with, but then there's obviously other things that we're going to just want to be way different."

Pat Shurmur looking to establish a winning offensive product on the field for 2024. More on his comments and how he's settling into the role:

Is he really a lottery pick?
