The Colorado Buffaloes are making headlines once again as Deion Sanders lands four elite transfer commitments within just 24 hours. Can Coach Prime’s relentless portal strategy finally push CU into the top tier of the Big 12?
Kevin Borba analyzes the impact of each pickup, starting with defensive standouts Justin Eagle from James Madison and former Notre Dame four-star Cree Thomas—both bringing size, skill, and proven playoff experience to a revamped secondary. On offense, the addition of massive Rutgers lineman Taj White strengthens the trenches, while explosive receiver Ernest Campbell (formerly at Sac State with Brendan Marion) adds even more speed and playmaking alongside returning stars like Joseph Williams and Danny Scudero.
The discussion dives into Coach Prime’s evolved approach in the portal, learning from past cycles, and now targeting all-conference G5 standouts as well as Power 4 talents with multiple years of eligibility and clear paths to starting roles. Kevin Borba highlights shifting roster management philosophy—from grabbing anyone not from the 1-11 squad to making evaluations rooted in long-term building and NFL-caliber upside.
Departures aren’t ignored: Kevin Borba covers who’s leaving, where they’re headed, and which losses sting or are simply part of the business. With 34 departures and 19 incoming transfers, the Buffs aren’t done yet—key needs remain at backup quarterback, linebacker, and safety, with targets like Texas RB CJ Baxter still in the mix.
Will Deion Sanders’ laser-focused recruiting, paired with a now-stacked receiver corps and deeper trenches, finally deliver winning football in Boulder? Or will roster churn and new faces introduce challenges as CU steps into the new Big 12 era? Stay tuned for an inside look at the portal strategy, key storylines, and direct insights from Kevin Borba on Colorado's ever-evolving roster build.
