2024 college football offseason thread

An update on the program at Colorado.

Last year 56 players transferred out according to 24/7. This year 36 and counting, The Buffs have signed 29 transfers from the portal. Deion does not like to make home visits and has only signed 10 freshman recruits.

Six of the tops even offensive lineman from last year's team have left. The seventh has exhausted eligibility. The Buffs have signed five offensive linemen who started at Division I programs last year as replacements along with Jordan Seeton, a five star tackle.

All five scholarship running backs are gone, four by transfer and one who ran out of eligibility. Of the three scholarship tight ends on the roster one has been hurt for the last year and the other two were just moved from defense. Chamon Metayer, who started at tight end for Cincinnati last year, transferred in and transferred out at the first opportunity.

The thinking in Boulder is that the offensive line has to be better than last year The hope is that with a mediocre offensive line and excellent receivers Shedeur and the offense can score enough points to overcome what will be at best a mediocre defense against what should be a softer schedule. If the team goes 8-4 and is invited s to a bowl the season will be declared a success.

Deion sure as hell better hope so. If he goes 8-4 he can probably get another Power Four gig. Because the outlook for 2025 is grim when Shedeur and Travis Hunter leave. There are 26 seniors currently listed on the roster (though who knows how many will be left in a week). There are only about 20 freshmen or redshirt freshmen on the team so there are a shortage of bodies to develop. Coach Prime needs to be gone in 2025.i

 

He comin.

They goin.

 

Tuck comin back to Boulder???

 

Can you explain the problem with spending the tv money on the players? I don't understand.

 

How did Columbine get so good? is there open enrollment in the Jeffco schools and kids can transfer in?

 

I don't have a problem with the money going to players at all - it should - but the idea that these super conference TV deals are windfalls for the schools just isn't true - the money is STILL going out quicker than it is coming in. Its not like anyone will lower ticket prices with all the TV money or give some of it back to the school's general fund.

 

Deion’s theory of the case was always risky. But it crumbled altogether when restrictions on second transfers were abolished and players could check out of his roach motel just as fast as they checked in.

 

Can someone explain why Deion's team is a revolving door? I don't get transferring there and then transferring out asap.

 

I very easily get the transferring back out part. However much it looks like a shit show from the outside, it’s got to be absolutely brutal up close and personal.

How he persuades them to try it in the first place, who knows?
