Dogs In A Pile Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 14 minutes ago, sho said: Elijah Robinson? Is that official? He's a good get if he goes to Colorado And it has nothing to do with underestimating him, he will get talent based on name alone. At least early on. But he won't be head and shoulders above Oregon or Washington. He may be get slightly better classes, but he won't have major talent advantages. He won't be having a 5* when no one else has a 3*. That'll be a big change for him. I wonder how that is going to work out for NIL money at CU. I have to assume a school that has next to no fan interest from the students or people in the state isn't exactly rolling in NIL money. Are these top flight players going to come in and play for next to nothing compared to what they could getting elsewhere just for the opportunity to play for Sanders? Maybe some will but I'm guessing most probably won't give up huge paydays for that honor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Oregon currently has 2 committed to them and gets 1-2 yearly, even with USC getting some. I don't see that changing. Washington will pull some here and there and will get plenty of 4* recruits. Colorado will be roughly the same talent as Oregon and Washington if Deion stays a few years. Then it'll be about development and schematics and that's just a guess on if he's good at building a staff for that or not. I personally see him being all flash and will flame out. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I could see Deion making them decent enough to get himself a job somewhere more high profile - SEC/ACC, which is all I think he really wants 1 Quote Link to comment

CU boosters will have to pay the piper if they want to compete in big boy football. Right now they don't have the money lined up for their coach, hard to imagine they have a good NIL program for the players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan702 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 People talk as if Deion comes from the typical pattern of college football. Idk how well he’ll recruit compared to anybody but considering what he did bringing players in the swac it’s crazy to underestimate his reach. Plus being somebody that understands black culture I guarantee his word means more to a kid and his family than anybody in the sport. 1 3 Quote Link to comment

There's no doubt about that. It doesn't matter what dogs a person has though if he and his group of trainers don't train them well enough. Like his players, there'll be expectations of his assistants. It's either going to go down in flames or they'll hit it out of the park. How all of this plays out on a bigger stage will be fun to watch and see what isn't for real and what is. Quote Link to comment

I agree the game is played on the field but It all starts with recruiting and the PAC12 is like the BIG 12 light if you can execute a formula of ball control and some resistance on d 8-10 wins every couple years isn’t that complicated just look at what Oregon state is doing 1 Quote Link to comment

Speaking of Oregon State, how about Trent Bray! We might want to entertain the idea of speaking with him. 1 Quote Link to comment

The tackling was embarrassing and that’s saying something coming from a husker fan. 1 Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Deion is telling current players to go jump in the portal and GTFO. The GTFO is implied, of course. But yeah...this is looking more and more like a Colorado s*** show. Then again, with the street value of those mountains in Denver, I'm sure Deion will be fully energized to coach Colorado to mediocrity. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not that Nebraska has any room to throw stones, but mediocrity would be a significant step up for Colorado football. 1 Quote Link to comment
