22-23 Transfer Portal and General Recruiting Catch-All Thread

Mad at us for playing the game that has victimized us since it started.
The entire country has been making fun of us for 2 decades. The giant suddenly awakens, and they start acting like we have no right to take immediate corrective action and stop sucking. **** that guy, **** those guys, **** the haters, **** the PAC 12, **** Nebraska, **** ‘em all.
Deion had 10 scholarship WRs at JSU. He wants a lot of WRs.

Payback time.
Who’s going to coach WRs?
I don't believe Deion has hired that yet. J.T. Taylor was the WR coach at JSU and he's not joining Prime at Colorado
Isn’t that who Prime recommended to be his successor in Jackson?
Pretty sure Lewis, Brewster, Hart, Mathis and Williams are the only truly confirmed Assistants to this point, and we don’t even truly know if Brewster is officially a TE coach or if Williams is officially DL coach. So much speculation to this point
Brewster is currently the recruiting lead for CU and I know Deion loves him as a TE coach. He signed Kyle Pitts out of HS
Real change is messy. It just is. I completely respect that it's not being treated as anything less.

can't keep up anymore
Cannot wait to kick the **** out of that Herb and his pathetic team in September
It’s not a lack of empathy, it is acknowledging the result of what the players have been asking for for years. They wanted to have the opportunity to get paid, and dismissed the idea that a college education was compensation. They wanted the opportunity to freely transfer and keep eligibility at any time, not wanting to have any long term commitment to an institution. They got what they asked for, and this is the result. The changes strongly benefit the top few percent of student athletes to the detriment of the rest. If they had wanted security that would benefit all student athletes they would have pushed for guaranteed 4 year scholarships, protecting the main form of compensation the great majority of them will ever see.
Singer would be a big get - prob UofAs best WR last year. Although not worried if we don’t, lol. This is a strange and exciting time indeed.
This year I’m gonna enjoy CU spring football for the first time in a long time. We’re potentially going to have an exciting class of players and a whole new team.
So glad Coach Sanders is our coach and not any of the other candidates we looked at. Glad we didn’t end up with Rhule. He is great at turning things around but I think DS’ style is going to actually turn us around and fast.

The scholarship is guaranteed (Pac-12). Playing time and roster position are not guaranteed. This is another reason to make athlete scholarship rates paid by the AD the same as in-state tuition.
If my daughter doesn’t have a ski lesson, it will be the first spring game I’ve attended in forever
That's one reason I don't understand why anybody would be ringing their hands over what Coach Prime told the team. Sure, I am sure a lot of those kids have worked hard and dedicated themselves to the CU program. However, even if they are not good enough to remain on the team, they have the opportunity to go elsewhere, or stay at CU as a non-athlete and let CU honor it's commitment to educate them. Nobody is getting left out to dry.

Reading posts like yours, I wonder how schools like CU can insist on the same academic standards for all students. Gifted athletes who want a career in sports are just as valid a part of the university, as people wanting to be CEOs or lawyers. They shouldn't be barred the opportunities, because they maybe grew-up focused on sports rather than books.
I don't think many of the hand wringers understand that these kids can stay in school at CU on a full non-football scholarship. All they need to do is stay on track to graduate and they'll get their degree.
And here's the real honest take: most of them are never gonna play on Sunday anyway - consequently, the best thing for many of them is to start 100% focusing on school now; meaning that they would be better off not transferring to another school to play, but rather finishing out here as a full time student.
Do all of those portal transfer kids transfer in for the spring semester?
Scholarships are guaranteed in that they have one as long as the SA is eligible for one, right? Meaning a violation of team rules or medically retiring would void the scholarship, correct?
This round of transfers do, yes. There is another portal window after Spring ball that allow them to transfer for the Summer or Fall semester
Violation of team rules for sure. I would appalled if the school could pull a scholarship for medical reasons (it might even be illegal).
