Cheers!

One time CU commit (02/22) who would take other visits and eventually commit to Texas A&M last year.
Big guy 6-6" and 340, (3*) who went where the grass was greener and is now headed down the lonesome highway, aka the Transfer Portal.
Hopefully A&M paid him well last year to change his commit.
Just another name from the past.

Today on Early Signing Day, Colorado announced 16 transfers and five high school recruits signed their national letters of intent.

@Troy Finnegan and I broke down the Buffs busy day, an in-depth look at the transfer class and more.

Seaton showmanship aside, do we know if the other three plan to sign today or later in the process. Id sure like to wrap these 9 up and then flip a few before signing ends.

Early Signing Day has arrived for the 2024 class, and we will be tracking all the action in what should be an exciting day for the Buffs. Here's a list of helpful links that you might need to reference throughout the day plus we'll be updating the thread when the National Letters of Intent come in as Deion Sanders officially welcomes his 2024 recruiting class at CU.

@Matt Moreno I didn’t think transfers signed letters of intent, or if they did, they aren’t binding? Can you clarify?

Last season he recorded, 18 tackles, 6 TFL, 5 sacks and 1 FF. He's highly productive with a very high ceiling with 3 years of eligibility remaining.

there is one more weekend until National Signing Day but the five-star says he's not headed anywhere despite considerable contact with other schools

High three-star edge rusher KingJoseph Edwards will announce his commitment in about 25 minutes. Colorado, Syracuse and Florida State are the official three finalists. Syracuse has been gaining the buzz heading into the announcement after Nick Williams' move to the program recently. The Buffs had looked like the top option prior to that move for Williams.

They have a good coach. Boosters are happy, AD is happy and things are going well. They got hosed but they knew it was a possibility as they aren’t P2. They won’t be in the ACC much longer.

Good to see them doing well. Not just because I grew up a fan and went there before CU but it’s good to see the traditional blue bloods do well. The game is better for it.

Coach Prime retooling the roster with 15 transfer portal and 2024 additions, coaching changes and more.

Any word on CM.? He was one of my top 2 hopeful gets from last weekend.

Lanning is poaching pretty well.

So we all have seen the projections using 2023. All P2 save the 3 other auto bids. Feels safe to say next year likely the same unless maybe the ACC or BIG XIi get two in (the ACC today seems to have the better case today).

With 21 of the top 25 recruiting classes being P2 the future doesn’t look much different.
Let’s assume the minority opinion is correct and the breakaway is more tv contract based and the ACC the same thing - tv holds them together.

That means about 7-8 years of this set up. Is this really what people want? Does it make fans and donors want to pay millions to fight for kids that aren’t going to be enough to get you there, and even if you get there you can’t beat 8 of the other 11 teams most days.

My question is how do people want to see it fixed?
16 teams instead of 12?
A limit on how many one conference can have ?
A break away of a small group so we have two sets of leagues and more competitiveness for those not in the break away?

Any other solutions?

12 teams had people who didn’t look closely excited and believing it meant more parity. Now that even those people have been shown that it will still be the same group of teams we are pulling from is this satisfactory?

I don’t think so

SDSU, following Coach Lew.

In the last 2 weeks, Georgia has lost 5 (5) star and 13 (4) star players to the portal. This is the new age of college football. Most kids want to play now, not later and could give a dam about the school they play for. We have changed the way winning teams are built. Maybe Prime is ahead of the rest with the portal emphasis!
