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

51 players in the portal ain’t ordinary

We offered a few of them in the portal.

The four guys that played QB for CU last year have landed at Nevada, stAte, UTSA and Miami (OH). If that’s the case, DS is rightfully purging what wasn’t working for a P5 conference member. If CU flops in the coming years, it will be with his guys not leftovers from a 1-11 team.

It’s not uncommon. It’s just now ultra public.

Well, at least DS won’t be blaming his performance on next season on the portal/transfers/staff since he sent the majority away.

Colorado legacy Travis Gray, son of 1990 national champion, reveals blunt way Deion Sanders cut him��

“He told me, ‘You’re 6-foot-8, 320 pounds. I know in my heart of hearts a school is going to pick you up in the portal when you enter. Make your weaknesses your strengths and… pic.twitter.com/2janqcjLkz

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

It's an intentional purging of the roster.

Former Cajun OG Tyler Brown is one of the players he brought with him from Jackson State. Brown was an FCS all American last season

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.

26 players is way more than big. One third of the roster.

Pretty sure CU had another 15-18 back in December exit via portal when season ended/ DS was signed. May be closer to 70 that are/have left program.

Coach "Prime" won't win 3 games this season. This will become a clown show with the Head Clown bringing this program further down the s--t hole than it already is. Total joke.

[ZoomZoom]

Today it’s a business, legacies will fail more often than not. Sanders wasn’t as blunt as he could have been.

1-11 last year, he had to purge. 6-6 would be a major achievement for Prime given it’s a total rebuild.

I don’t see him lasting. May build a foundation, but with all the moving parts within the program and the PAC 12, fans won’t be that patient.

It clearly worked and will continue to work, as the Buffs have brought in the No. 1 transfer class in the country.

Following the conclusion of Saturday's spring game, Colorado was projected to be over the NCAA max of 85 scholarships by one, and they now have 14 open spots available. This means Buffs fans will have more names to learn for next year's team.
