And yes, these are actual questions from actual readers (with the exception of the last question — and please, if you read nothing else, read the last question). This is an ongoing schtick, so please send questions for the next mailbag to [email protected]. And yes, I love that […]

Biggest High School Recruiting Weekend This Decade? For those that read my most recent recruiting updates, you’ll know that I’ve been bullish on early recruiting results. For more, check out: https://buffsblog.com/colorado-buffaloes-high-school-recruiting-board-defense-version-one/ for the defensive board and https://buffsblog.com/cu-buffs-high-school-offensive-recruiting-hot-board-version-2-0/ for the offensive board. We’ll get these posts updated in coming weeks. But my optimism seems to be

I became a corporate lawyer in part because I didn’t want to have to do “the maths.” When I was unsuccessful with actual maths avoidance, I needed to sprinkle in something more interesting — so I would sprinkle in sports. At CU, I took a maths class called QRMS and my final project involved calculating the percentage likelihood

[Editor’s note: After writing this post, and immediately prior to the closing of the spring transfer portal for non-graduates, CB Colton Hood and his brother, RB Brendon Hood, entered the transfer portal. Inexplicably, sources have told me that Brandon Hood was asked to leave and so he and his brother, Colton, both jumped into the
Tonight I was at a small concert at Little Horse in Louisville trying to focus on listening to the spacy jazz music of PrairieWolf — but my phone wouldn’t leave me alone. “He’s not been drafted yet!” “We’re through the 2nd round and no Sheduer.” “Jalen FUCKING Milroe has been drafted – but not Sanders!”

#75 Zack Owens is hitting the transfer portal. I audibly groaned when reading the news that offensive guard Zack Owens is entering the transfer portal. The former 4-star Clemson recruit, now 345 pounds (down from 375), was a star in the spring game. He was a devastating run blocker and surprised with his ability to get

It’s difficult to put too much stake into a spring game. Players are constantly rotated, and a great play against the 2s on defense is probably not as valuable from an evaluation standpoint as a great play against the 1s on defense. Still, we’ve graded the tape of the Spring Game and have a breakdown of the

We attended the Spring Game on Saturday and will have a full UFR (Upon Further Review) / strategies and tape breakdown of the game later this week. In the meantime, though, we wanted to give you our primary takeaway from the game: CU IS THE BIGGEST COLLEGE TEAM WE’VE EVER SEEN. By now, you probably
[Editor’s note: This post was going to run on Monday. However, after the Spring Game this afternoon, Jay Gardenhire announced that he was going to enter the tranfser portal. Gardenhire must have heard that this post was going to run and so he decided to transfer so that we wouldn’t publish the post and he

Xavier Hill was on the Outland Trophy watch list last season. This past week I published “What We’re Hearing About the Offense” and “What We’re Hearing About the Defense” to detail how the team is looking in spring practice. Those posts are going to be obsolete in another month or two. Deion Sanders, Transfer Portal Savant,
