OT: Thoughts on Colorado’s “Mass Exodus”?

[ColoradoCajun]

Since Saturday’s spring game, 26 players have entered the transfer portal for the CU Buffs. What are your thoughts on this? I genuinely wonder if recruiters are encouraging CU players to transfer because they know Deion Sanders will steal the spotlight from them, in effect lowering their chances on getting drafted.

WR Montana Lemonious-Craig was one of the first players to transfer after having a great spring game, and he’s already getting tons of D1 offers, so I think it’s possible.

This really makes for great podcast material lol.

I want to know what happened to cause that. Did Sanders say something?

Not sure, but I heard that he basically kicked out a lot of players. Not sure if that’s true or not tho.

The departure of USC and UCLA from the weaken PAC12 is a bigger hit than Prime’s need to feed his ego. Don’t doubt the competition is throwing SDSU reportedly joining the PAC 12 is being used by the big boys in other conferences.

DS made Jackson State a regular season winner. And?

I don't think this is necessarily that out of the ordinary. A new coach coming in who's going to have a big recruiting class and want to bring in his own players. I think you had to expect a big shift.

He said the quiet thing out loud when he talked about bringing in his luggage and some don't like it. You're right. New coach. New schemes. No one's job is safe.

He told them this when he got the job. No surprise all these kids are hitting the portal.

Schulz just interviewed the CU beat writer.

The transfer count is up to 51. Prolly not enough left to fill a two-deep.

And didn't a local kid from LCA decommit today or yesterday from CU? The quarterback who I think is a 4 star?

Sanders said it the day he was hired months ago. Good players want to play for him. He knows that and needed to make room.

Ju'Juan Johnson from LCA. Truth be known he has had a lot of pressure from LSU to sign, including several former teammates like Sage Ryan.

On the subject of Deon Sanders, he has decided to not release practice video of players from spring and even last fall that are transferring out. It's interesting considering he was in favor of college athletes getting NIL deals, but is now using practice video as leverage.

[Cajunchuck]

They have decided to release practice video prior to spring 2023 now.
