Figured it would be fun to see where everyone's head is?

At 14-11, CU is out of the NCAA Tournament picture barring a miraculous late-season run. But what about the NIT? I dove into that here

Let's get this thing rolling. The Buffs have one of their better chances at a win tonight in these final six regular season games. Still, the Buffs are a four-point dog

Dang, just when it looked like Denver might be able to run away with this thing, the West teams are making trades like crazy. Mortgaging their futures in order to win now. All the waiting we've done year after year to finally have a team that can get us to the Championship series and the teams around us have decided that patience isn't one of their virtues. If the Nuggets want to get there, they are going to have to make a move.

Here's the recap of tonight's proceedings

The Wide receiver group is even more complicated to figure out the starters than the Oline. This is because there is abundant freshman talent - Tyson's injury status - a decent group leftover from HCD - and a slim number of Portal guys. Here's how I think it looks:

Slot - Jimmy Horn Jr. transfer from South Florida. Performed well on a poor team.

WR-1: Montana Lemonious-Craig - Healthy and talented returning player. Already hangs with and works out with Shedeur Sanders

WR-2 - Ty Robinson - 6'3" 195 lbs Colorado youngster - has been a Buff for a couple of years. He will have a shot at starting because he has experience, height and a college body.

Other slot players - Dyland Edwards - I expect he will line up in two rb sets - single back sets and may even line up as a WR - a play maker who will have multible ways to get on the field early. Issaiah Hardge - Florida kid - very fast but plays at 165 lbs - very top Florida HS state champs.

Jordon Tyson would be a starter but figures to Rehab until the 2nd half of the season (may even redshirt)

Grant Page - 6'3" college body - big production at Fairview in Boulder (over 100 yards per game average) Red shirt freshman Sleeper starter - Chase Sowell - 6'3" 195 - out of Humble Texas - mother and dad were athletes - could have had a career in baseball - Red shirt freshman - also a sleeper starter or potential contributor.

Talented Freshman recruits who will get snaps and may show enough to start: Omarion Miller (6'2" 198 lbs a physical specimen - had 1,500 yards and 20 tds in his senior year - stol Aen from the Nubs recruitment list), Adam Hopkins - very fast - two way recruit cb/wr (kick returner candidate), Asaad Waseem - Florida kid who also had almost 1,500 receiving and 20 tds ( Waseem is already on campus).

Most likely to redshirt as freshmen - Isaiah Hardge - Jordon Onovughe

Tristan da Silva hit his fifth consecutive 20-point game on Sunday. His numbers this season have him in an exclusive club with Josh Scott and Derrick White. Producing high volume with high efficiency, da Silva is reaping the benefits of years of hard work.

Not bad. A lot less than the BIG’s new deal but I’m guessing it goes north of 100mm next round. More if they expand like many of us think they will

Great interview with TJ Altimore. This guy is totally tied in with the Pac 12 leadership and has a lot to say, including a little history of the Pac 12. He's of the opinion that Utah will be SDSU's travel partner and SMU will be Colorado's travel partner. Also interesting that he confirms what I posted nearly a year ago that being near a major airport is very important for a school to be considered for Pac 12 membership. The interview begins at the one minute mark.

Hello hello, I’ll be on the DNVR Buffs podcast in an hour. We’ll be covering a variety of Buffs topics, but we’ll be interviewing MLC. Head to this link to check out the live stream https://youtube.com/live/buBwPTOh8Z8

Honestly, BYU and Houston might have more cache if not slightly more. I wonder how dried the ink is to the Big 12 deal. If things are so bad that we need to add those 2, we may as well go after BYU and Houston and get a proper foothold into Texas while adding another team in Utah and keeping the Big 12 out of our backyard. Maybe we can squeeze an extra 5 million out of the deal. Both the Texas schools might go for that.

Four-star Rivals250 athlete/cornerback Ju'Juan Johnson is set to announce his commitment decision tomorrow morning. As Nikki mentioned before, getting a Louisiana recruit who has an LSU offer away from home is about as difficult of a process as you can have as a recruiter from outside that state. Well, things have started to take a turn here over the last day and Colorado is gaining some major steam heading into his announcement.

Johnson's last visit before making a decision was to Boulder, and right now it looks as though the Buffs are in line to add another high-level defensive back to their commitment list. Johnson still has plenty of time before he can sign in December, but this would be a HUGE early win for Deion Sanders.

I also don't think this tweet is any kind of accident from Coach Prime.

Is he healthy now and working out? Haven't read much about him but thought with his speed he would be a factor.

In its last year of relevancy for many the PAC is getting a ton of love and not just USC. The TP work done at the QB position has really put us on the map. Nice to read more than a two sentence blurb about Oregon or USC.

A top schools list is coming. Recruiting update with Fox on Rivals.
