Gotta take anything the media says about this with a huge grain of salt. I'm not saying they're wrong, but they only have slightly more information than your neighborhood 5 year old.

Barring a scandal or similar, probably not. Due to all of the free media attention he gets, he's generated an enormous amount of value for the university.

For every transfer they bring in they're losing 2 because that entire team at this point is made of transfers who all came with the idea they'd be starting. Those 'scrubs' might be useful to have around in the Big12 where Colorado may see 150-160 plays a game with the new headset rules in an already high tempo conference.

I understand Barthel is trying to sell to recruits, but in actual football terms that sentence is pretty meaningless anymore. Most of the remaining differences these days are due to things like the rules, hashmark spacing, and various other things we have no actual control over.

I share your skepticism. However, one benefit of the doubt I'd give the staff here is in the flexibility of this defense. Guys often go to the lower division because their undersized, or they have the size but they aren't athletic enough. In some schemes, if you're not big enough there just becomes no where for you to play at your body type. In this defense we can take a lot of athletes and find homes for them because we can make use of a plethora of body types that less flexible schemes can not. That's no assurance that any one player will pan out and just because you're a good athlete doesn't mean you're a good football player, but our recruiting philosophy of taking great athletes and trying to find where they work out best matches our defensive scheme.

I think most of these guys Nebraska has been linked to are just us doing our due diligence. You can never have enough talented players.

It's one thing for us to put these portal entries into context, but when a head coach does it......he just told the majority of his player they may as well transfer because they aren't important.

They've made reference in the past that the spring league has allowed more assistants to get accustomed to calling plays since White can't be everywhere at once. I don't know how much I'd read into this, but Rhule is not denying at all that White's time here is likely to be limited if this defense continues to have success. I have no doubt he has a backup plan whether that's promoting from within or getting someone else familiar with this scheme.

The professional leagues can impose the rules they do because the athletes are employees who have collective bargained those conditions. Neither of those are true in the case of collegiate athletics.

Even by that logic, naw man. If Deion was smart, he'd leverage a year or two of quality play at Colorado for a real school, in a real conference, where you get paid real money, but he aint doing that because he'd rather sit at home acting like he's playing fantasy football instead of being a real football coach. He just sitting there buying and selling guys like he don't even know them.

Remember when Dad went to get cigs and never came back? That's now your starting QB.

Unlike most of the ones on Day 1, I think these last two were less expected.

Many have long speculated the same, though some thought it would be for greener pastures. He does have more talent overall than a year ago, but it's an absolute circus over there at the moment.

I want Colorado to fail, not because it is Colorado and not because of Deion, but because I don't want to see this become the dominant method for team building. Colorado is the case study on how extreme you can take this method. That said, this wasn't that bad of a day for Colorado. A couple of these guys may have been contributors but it's mostly the group they expected to leave and Colorado will be very active in the portal this spring.

I like the videos in general, and I'm fine with spicing them up a bit from a narration angle, but I'm done with this controversy sub plot.
