National signing day is….today????? The earlier date caused it to sneak up on college football fans (and the CU coaching staff?), largely because most of the recruiting class was wrapped up before the season began. If you’re like most CU fans and haven’t paid much attention to recruiting the last few months, the good news is

In an era where college football head coaches are paid $10m, players wear chains that cost more than an average worker makes in a year, and young men preach loyalty from their third transfer portal stop, sometimes it’s worth reminding yourself what the game used to feel like. That’s how I found myself in Grand
BuffsBlogBite: Offensive Shake-Up Change are happening on the offensive side of the football for Colorado.

Deion Sanders’ first in-state pledge for the class of 2026 is also one of his most under-the-radar. Loveland (Colo.) Thompson Valley offensive lineman Josiah Manu isn’t a household name nationally. He comes in as a low to mid-tier three-star recruit by 247Sports, ranked just #1334 overall in the country. For context, that would make him one of the lowest-rated
