There's been much action on the offer front as of late, with a multitude of Colorado coaches issuing offers to members of both the 2021, 2022 and 2023 classes.
Here are players that have recently received offers, organized by the coach that offered them.
Darian Hagan offers a pair of Ft. Worth RBs
1. Sergio Snider, 2023 RB. The Buffaloes appear to be the first to offer the 5-foot-10, 170-pound, soon-to-be sophomore RB from Ft. Worth, TX. Hagan has clearly taken a liking to him, as Snider saw extensive playing time on varsity as a freshman with Nolan Catholic.
2. Emeka Megwa, 2022 RB. This dude is big time. A teammate of Snider's at Nolan Catholic, Megwa was the Vikings' primary RB in 2019, and with two full years of high school football still ahead of him, his offer list is approaching 30 already.
Megwa is loaded with P5 offers, including ones from LSU, Michigan, Penn State Texas and many, many more.

Darrin Chiaverini at work in California / West Coast
1. Tetairoa McMillan, 2022 WR. I've heard a lot of buzz about McMillan and how he's going to be one of the top wideouts coming from California in his class. He's from Anaheim and attends Servite High School. CU is his 14th offer and McMillan is 6-foot-4, 185 pounds.
His film reminds one of Daniel Arias and in high school, 1-on-1 coverages don't appear to be working against him. Chiaverini is known to like guys who can play both slot and outside WR, but with McMillan's frame, he might be best utilized strictly on the outside.

2. Keyan Burnett, 2022 TE. Burnett is a teammate of McMillan's at Servite and is being recruited by Colorado as a TE. Since he fell into Chiaverini's realm of recruiting, he issued the offer. Five of his seven offers come from Pac-12 schools (CU, Arizona State, Arizona, Cal and Utah) and frame-wise, he's 6-foot-5, weighing 210 pounds.

3. Kieran Collins, 2022 CB. Collins lives in Burien, Washington (east of Seattle) and holds offers from Arizona State and Florida State. Chiaverini handed him his third last night. At 6-foot-1 and 170 pounds, Collins looked impressive for Kennedy Catholic as a sophomore this past fall. Chiaverini obviously offers mostly WRs, so it's always interested to see him hone in on a DB, as he did with Christian Gonzalez for the 2020 class.

Offers coming in this morning, effective 11:30 a.m. MST
1. Damari Altson, 2022 RB. Hailing from College Park, Georgia, Alton is up to six offers, with the Buffaloes being his second P5 offer. WVU, Toledo, Kent State, Georgia State and Georgia Southern are the others who have offered him. Altson is 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds.
You can't teach speed and Altson doesn't appear to need any lessons in that department.

2. Leo "Bubba" Blackburn, 2021 WR. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound Blackburn picked up an offer from the Buffaloes this morning, joining Pitt, Miami, Samford, FAU and Savannah State.

FIN. I know that's a long list of players. I'll stop there for now and will include some additional offers that have rolled in later. The Buffs certainly are picking up in terms of issuing offers on a regular basis.
Out of the batch, I'd have to say McMillan piques my interest perhaps the most — from what I've heard coaches are pretty hot on him and want to get moving on him quickly, as more attention and offers are sure to come his way. Plus, anytime CU is offering 6-foot-4 underclassmen WRs, well, that's A OK in my book.
Mega, the 2022 RB with close to 30 offers, is the kind of player the Buffaloes would doubtless love to reel in. High-profile, out-of-state player that would turn the heads of fellow recruits if he were to show interest and visit CU at some point. A culminating commitment sometime down the line is the obvious endgame, but for now, Colorado and Hagan would do well to stay on his case.
