Here was everyone’s first look at the new-and-improved Buffs, reforged in the fires of the transfer portal and ready to show the Big 12 that they’re worth taking at least somewhat seriously. Their spring game promised overwhelming amounts of both on- and off-field entertainment and was marketed with the full force of Nike’s sponsorship budget; this was going to be the first must-see event in a season that promises to be fu ..read more

Two thumbs up! | Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports The Buffs will be competitive in the Big 12. After losing six of their seven leading scorers, Tad Boyle has done an admirable job retooling the Colorado Buffaloes. First it was Trevor Baskin from Colorado Mesa, then Andrej Jakimovski from Washington State. Now, it’s Elijah Moore, a highly touted big man from Grace College. Colorado doesn’t often recruit NAIA players, but Malone is different. He was the best player in the league the last two seasons and only stayed there — despite having very real D-I offers — out of loyalty to the coaching st ..read more

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports The rebuilding is still not done The Colorado Buffaloes got better this week and last through the transfer portal as they seem to do every cycle of the transfer portal. Ryland has the goods on some of the most recent commitments from the spring game, but there are still plenty of impact players that the Buffs need to close on to hit some of their goals this year. These players have all visited in the last two weeks: LB Elijah Herring, Tennessee: The Volunteers’ leading tackler last year entered the transfer portal after being recruited over. He had 79 tackles last ..read more

Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images Coach Prime is adding some young talent to prepare for the future With all the effort that went into Colorado’s Black and Gold spring game, you’d think that Coach Prime would have less time to recruit some fresh talent. However, that clearly wasn't the case. Colorado’s staff managed to snag four key transfers last weekend, all of which largely flew under the radar. Allow us to break down who the newest Buffs are: Clemson OL Zechariah Owens This dude’s nickname is Flapjack and you don’t get the nickname Flapjack for no reason. That’s pretty much all you ne ..read more

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports Colorado has a potentially game changing new weapon in the slot After an eventful month, Colorado’s spring football session has come to a close with conclusion of the Black and Gold spring game. Despite the dreary and miserable weather in Boulder on Saturday, the fans who endured the rain were treated to their first glimpse of what the 2024 Buffaloes may look like. Here are our biggest takeaways from the abbreviated spring game: LaJohntay Wester is an absolutely beast in the slot This doesn’t really come as a surprise to anyone who watched Wester’s FAU tape, but Col ..read more

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports This room has turned over in the last two weeks It’s gotta feel weird to be Deion Sanders sometimes. Everyone outside the program was incredibly surprised and saddened by the departure of Dylan Edwards last week, but it seems like Coach Prime was ready to reload for the Colorado Buffaloes. Edwards is still a huge loss and will be a great player wherever he ends up, but the running back room is already almost at full strength again. Enter Rashad Amos. The Miami of Ohio running back was committed to Mississippi State until this weekend, when he flew out to see ..read more

Photo by Bruce Yeung/Getty Images The Buffs need help in the backfield. Coach Prime is at it again, seeing some talented players leave the program while recruiting immediate starters at the same position. This time it’s the running back room, where the Colorado Buffaloes will look totally different from last season. Gone are Anthony Hankerson, Alton McCaskill, Sy’veon Wilkerson and now Dylan Edwards. All of whom have transferred out of the program, with Hanerkson leaving for Oregon State, Edwards likely headed to Kansas State, and the other still TBD. The first in is Dallan Hayden, a sophomore ..read more

Christopher Creveling-USA TODAY Sports The electric back is leaving Boulder. Adding to the list of transfers out of the Colorado Football program, upcoming sophomore running back Dylan Edwards announced Tuesday morning that he would be entering the transfer portal and leaving Boulder. Edwards was a solid contributor in Coach Deion Sanders inaugural season at Colorado. He led the team in rushing yards with 321 yards and pulled in 299 receiving yards on 36 receptions. The news came after the Buffs added Ohio State transfer running back Dallan Hayden on Monday afternoon. Edwards was initially com ..read more

Colorado managed to snag Ohio standout DT Rayyan Buell from the transfer portal, further bolstering their revamped defensive line. BREAKING: Former Ohio DL Rayyan Buell has Committed to Colorado, he tells @on3sports The 6’3 275 DL totaled 39 Tackles and 6.5 Sacks in his 2 years with the Bobcats Will have 1 year of eligibility remaining https://t ..read more
