This weekend is already set to become arguably one of the biggest in program history as Sanders and his staff are hosting a variety of sought out blue-chippers.

Here are some of the weekend visitors in the 2024 class to look out for as potential future commits.

If anyone had told me at Thanksgiving 2022, CU would be in this spot with new coaches, Top 25 High School signing class, remarkable success in the TP, and some solid JUCO players, I would have laughed in their face. The hole CU Football had dug seemed to monumental to care very much.

I know some of us disagree on how bad CU's 2022 roster was, but I think HCP and his staff believe it simply wasn't P5 level, thus the massive influx of new blood across the board.

Anyway, HCP's ability to transform an entire coaching staff, roster, and expectation level in roughly 8 weeks is nothing short of amazing. Even with "Prime", I wouldn't have thought this much change was possible this fast. To be clear, I still think CU will face some struggles in 2023. There is still much work to be done to back-up the QB spot, depth at RB, and CU needs to add more talent along both lines and at RB. In addition, it's going to take some time for this team to gel. But, there is still time for this staff to bring in another elite RB, 2 or 3 very good LBs, and a couple more upgrades along both lines. CU does need to sign a top-notch QB to compete with Shadeur.

I won't let myself totally believe Cormani is coming to Boulder until he signs his LOI. Hard to believe the fact that CU is now competing for, and winning blue chip recruiting battles. The leap CU Football has taken from "no hope" to "potential bowl contender" has been fascinating and fun to watch. Looking forward to Spring Ball and the lead-up to TCU. Now for the selfish part. I hope HCP circles CSU and Nebraska on the schedule. Those are two home games CU MUST put in the Win column.

Simpson's clutch shots, da Silva's twenty-seven points and an improved defense helped break the losing streak, but claiming tonight's win wasn't easy.

“They got good players, well coached and that’s what makes this win satisfying,” Boyle said. More on the game:

Rediculous dunk by KJ. He handled the ball with one hand, cradled it and rocked a thundering dunk over Bomba.
Unreal lift this kid has. This is a Sports Center Top 10 type of dunk.
And then he proceeds to knock down a 23 footer from the top of the key with 4 seconds left in the game to win the game.
Kid is tougher than nails and was big tonight when it mattered.

Nikki and I got together to analyze the Buffs' football schedule for the upcoming season. What matchup intrigues us the most? What stands out? What are the most winnable games? And, finally, what are our early record predictions?

Check it all out here (and don't be too angry at me for my prediction)

Buffs looking to redeem themselves tonight and put an end to the three-game losing streak. WSU's top guard TJ Bamba (15.1 ppg) missed the Cougars the last three games, but he's making his debut this evening on their starting lineup.

KJ Simpson
J'Vonne Hadley
Tristan da Silva

Getting out of ahead of this since Jan. 21 is looking like it will be the big junior visit weekend for the Buffs, and there are sure to be several priority targets making their way to Boulder to check things out to begin the next cycle. We will continue to update this list as the names begin to come in ahead of that weekend, which could (probably will) also feature remaining 2023 targets as well.

Rivals250 athlete Kylan Fox is the first confirmed name on the list for Jan. 21, and it would make sense that a prospect from Georgia would be among the group considering two of the early 2024 commitments are from that state. Fox plays at Grayson HS in Loganville and has already compiled a list of over 50 offers. The 6-foot-5 recruit will most likely play tight end in college but he also plays on defense as an edge rusher and could ultimately make that move as well. Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Clemson, Florida and Florida State are some of the other schools making a push in his recruitment. Shortly after picking up his offer from CU, Fox decided to postpone a planned commitment in mid-December and now it will be the first school he visits since that point. Whether one thing is directly related to the other remains to be seen, but the Buffs are certainly in a good position with the four-star junior.

Heard about a quarterback visiting. I know he’s a three star, but his highlights look pretty good. Who else visited? He couldn’t have been the only one.

Washington State sits at 9-11 overall and 4-5 in the Pac-12, but, “they're a better team than their record indicates,” assistant coach Mike Rohn said.

Maintaining defensive pressure will be key tonight to end the three-game losing streak.

“Travis Hunter, the five-star recruit who shocked the college football world by committing to Jackson State over Florida State, has apparently made his transfer decision.”

“The former No. 1 overall recruit will be transferring from Jackson State to Colorado.”

My favorite quote from Prime's address to CU players, “Some of you won’t have a job, because I’m bringing luggage with me and it’s Louis Vuitton, baby!”

This is backing it up!!!
