I don’t think this assessment is way off except for one glaring problem…..they’ve lost all the contributors from 2022.  
 

There’s a tweet that details this.  Almost all their experience is going.  He’s literally starting over.

Well someone has to have stats.  Doesn't mean they are going to be better than the guys they want to bring in.  Plus, as everyone here should know, losing can be an infection.  If half the contributors were complacent in losing then those guys have to go.  Doesn't matter how good they are.  Not saying that is the case but...

I was super nervous about playing Colorado this year, with all honesty.

After watching both spring games I feel better now.   It looks like we have a Football Coach with a vision and plan, a good coaching staff, good players, and building up a winning football program in the Big Ten.......  and they (CU) have a TV show Personality running things (as a former celebrity).

Huskers going to win this one just by showing up in Boulder.  So would Rutgers.

I believe we recently fired a guy for thinking that way. The moment I knew that wasn't going to work out was the second half of the 2019 CU game. Acted like the game was won at halftime and lost to what should have been a clearly inferior team.

I'm not underestimating Sanders. He pushes the envelope of ethical behavior, and that's all I will say on that, but I don't underestimate him as a competitor.

Some speaking out about Sanders approach.  Sure am glad we got Rhule and not Sanders.   Rhule walks in with humility and awe of the program.  Sander walks in with an ego bigger than Texas and only in awe of himself it appears.

This whole rhule vs sanders debate has been a case study on fandom. The nature of college sports with the transfer portal and NIL all these things are happening the same way at every school. Just like frost used to “help players find a better situation”. Don’t let coach speak fool you they are all operating the same way business first.

I am not really thinking that way.  But I'm not as nervous about Colorado as I was before their spring game and transfer portal meltdown.  

Know what I mean ?!!

Idk how you get rid of this many players and have any depth. I understand Deion is wanting to completely rebuild but 51 is a huge number

how big was their recruiting class?  Say they signed 25 kids he's gonna have to grab another 20+ out of the portal just to have a roster.
