I didn’t know some of you guys would miss me so much. Fishing in Montana since Saturday and headed straight to jazz fest from here tomorrow.

Been checking in. Looks about like I thought it would and said repeatedly in the month leading up to spring game. Bunch of signings and prospective commitments for 25 too.

Have to dive in deeper - truthfully reading guys argue while your in Montana with great friends and new acquaintances isn’t really an interest. 😂😂

Glad to see no negative surprises and only what we expected to come out of that week. TP guys we all have to wait and see. Appears no major new hits but 25 recruiting, while way behind, looks off to a nice start. No surprise here.

Enjoy the week and for those of you who missed me and my ability to make this a cesspool by not agreeing with you. I miss you too. You complete me @buffticket 😘

After taking a look at Colorado this weekend, former Miami (Ohio) running back
Rashad Amos decided to commit and bring his talents to Boulder.

Found an interesting quote from Mantrez Walker posted on MICHIGAN INSIDER a bit over a year ago when he was committing to Michigan. "(They see me at) MIKE linebacker and I can also blitz off edge," Walker said. " I can bring violence and leadership. Fierce competitor that's going to really help Michigan (Colorado?) get to a national championship and bring a physical aspect to the defense. I'm also a field general and (ready to) make an early impact."

Sounds pretty good to me and thank you Coach Harbaugh for leaving and helping present this opportunity to CU

I believe this does NOT include money the conferences paid the schools from the TV, bowls and NCAA tourney money.

We are currently not deep on O or D. 2nd teams are VERY unimpressive.

We have pretty good size on the OL, but other power positions still need size (DT, DE LB, TE) and strength.

Skill/Athlete positions except RB look really good. QB, Corner especially but DBs generally , WR look very capable but we still need to add strength IMO. No MIchael Westbook type players at WR and our DBs wont intimidate teams over the middle, although I do think CBTH looks to have added some good weight.

Impossible to tell anything re: play calling on D or O but i didint see any explosion on the edge.

Lots of unknown skill and depth is still coming so depth overall being poor is not surprising but the summer and fall are going to be critical for this team to gel. They also still need to get stronger everywhere IMO. Teams are going to keep blitzing and generally kicking sand in our face if we cant go toe to toe.

We need a running game so i sure hope one of the new RBs steps up. Between midwest wind and weather QBSS isnt going to be successful throwing the ball 50+ times per game and we need to slow down the pass rush.

We are going to have to outscore teams again this year unless all the new defensive guys make a big difference.

We look solid on O but still not an A until we can prove the ability to run and protect. C- to D+ on Defense. NO pass rush, no power, no explosion but plenty of solid DBs. Lets not sleep on North Dakota State with all our new guys still getting to know each other it could be interesting.

It has already been a busy week for the Buffs in the days leading up to Saturday's spring game. Some prospects are already nearing the end of their visits while others are arriving for tomorrow's big event.

After thinking about the 21 portal transfers leaving during spring football, I contend that spring football should be eliminated and moved to June 1st. A few reasons for the move:
Positives
1) Players that will actually be on the '24 season roster will have reported. All transfers and true freshman will have reported.
2) Position depth won't be an issue (see the RB room this spring game)
3) Coaches will be working with players that will actually be on the roster for '24 thus less reteaching in fall camp.
4) Weather
5) ????

Negatives
1) Less time to heal an injury (actually only about 1 month if the injury occurred in the current spring game)
2) Student attendance at summer game
3) ????

More info on Colton, an Auburn transfer, and Brandon, a three-star RB in the class of 2024 ⬇️
