Prime names his son qb1 at his introductory presser.

Awesome!

Unpossible to know how he will do. But he picked a soft conference to do it in.

He won't win at Colorado. He could recruit Mississippi players at Jackson. At Colorado, he's going to have to convince California kids to move to a cold climate far away from home. Good luck.

Boise State and Utah have done Ok recruiting in a cold climate.

I'd love for our football coach to do well enough to leave for and upgrade. Hasn't happened since the 1950s

The only upgrade from A&M in 2022 is the NFL. And you have to actually bring something cerebral to table as a coach and decision maker in an even talent playing field like the NFL.

So outside of some young guy coming up through our the coaching ranks who wants to try to win a Superbowl, no one will willingly leave us for another job again.

Yeah, this guy is a real leader……..

You may want to take a look at CU's current roster and retract this statement.

Exactly. CO program is dominated by out of state players. Also, there's a huge TX-CO connection that I expect to increase under Sanders given his TX HS football connections. And what HS kid isn't gonna take a call or home visit from Deion regardless of where they live? Almost nobody. Plus he only has to deal with USC and UCLA for a year. There's no doubt in my mind he'll win there.

There is no pipeline of talent to Colorado anymore. The pipeline runs east to the SEC. CU still recruits Texas but they only get players with offers from G5 schools.

I'm not sure he'll last 2 seasons at CU.

Agreed. I hope it's to TAMU or Not-The-SEC.

Pipeline of talent is controlled by recruiting and NIL. Coach Prime has both.

"Coach Prime" is a dumb name. Dude hasn't even coached a game for an FBS team yet.

He'll recruit well because of name alone. Doesnt necessarily mean he'll be successful though

You realize he's a coach whose nickname was Prime Time in the NFL, right?

Prime Time was a great nickname that was backed up by his stellar play on the field and being a two sport pro athlete

Meanwhile Coach Sanders has accomplished nothing on the FBS level yet so if I'm a recruit with lots of offers I would be skeptical and careful about falling for the hype.

There's no I in team, well, except for CU... Arrogance can only carry you so far.

Report is out there that approximately 200 kids in the portal have already reached out to CU so you may be underestimating his ability to recruit. He got a 5* to come to Jackson State.

I don't doubt his recruiting prowess. Kevin Sumlin could do that. Can Coach Sanders put together a great staff and develop players as well as manage all those egos? Not saying he can't, but there's way more to consider besides recruiting. Ask A&M or the school in Austin.

So basically he's like every other coach who moved up to the next level.

I love his swagger and his straightforwardness. He's a breath of fresh air in an industry full of good old boys and retreads.

Well your post was specifically about recruiting so that is what my response addressed.

Was everyone on this board always so wrong about everything? Feel like its happened in the last 5 years where everyone decided to have terrible opinions about every topic.

Some sure are slathered up for his success and his attempt to bring it to Colorado.

Deion Sanders is one of the best and most famous College/NFL players of all time. He took over an FCS program that went 4-8 in 2019, and went 11-2 and 12-0 in his last two years with 2 conference championships. He also signed the nation's #1 player and another 4*.Hate the guy all you want but the numbers dont lie.

Not sure why you think his hype is undeserved. It would be like Peyton Manning being the HC at Middle Tennessee and going 11-2 and 12-0. Guaranteed he would get a ton of hype, probably more so than Deion.

Middle Tennessee is an FBS program and one that beat Miami this year so I would respect that more whether Peyton or Deion was the head coach. Also the "hate the guy" comment is unnecessary. Be better.

He's jumping from FCS to a PAC-12 program. I'm actually rooting for the guy despite any silly assumptions on here, but recruiting isn't enough for me. Jimbo can recruit and has swagger, too. What has A&M done with it?

Once we all get it through our heads that cc is right and everyone else is wrong this thread will go a lot smoother.

Rumors circulating former Vikings HC Mike Zimmer could be joining Deion as defensive coordinator @CUBuffsFootball

Zimmer has been working in advisory role with Sanders at JSU #CollegeFootball

I think Prime is angling for Saban's job when he retires.

The Kent State coach is gonna be Deion's OC. Zimmer loves Prime from the Cowboys days. CU is gonna be super interesting.

As someone who lives in Colorado - Californians are already moving here just like they are moving to Texas. That won't be the issue.

---

Those are people who are taxed and regulated to death. Mainly people who are paying the freight for themselves. They aren't kids that have few responsibilities and only see the benefits California offers like weather.

If he was recruiting middle aged parents of families, you'd be right. He's not.

However, I will say I think he'll be mildly successful recruiting. I just wonder what kind of staff he can put in place. I don't know if he realizes what it will take to win not only at the FBS level but at the Pac-12 level.

Zimmer (former Vikings head coach) served in an advisory role for Sanders at Jackson St. and is rumored to be Sanders' DC at Colorado.

https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/report-mike-zimmer-could-become-deion-sanders-defensive-coordinator-at-colorado

Looks like he's targeting assistant Alabama DC Charles Kelly, and Tim Brewster who to my surprise coached with Sanders at Jackson St. Brewster coached under Jimbo, Mack, and was the head coach of Minnesota (college).

Those are auspicious.

They dont have the money for him....yet.... according to AD

Great hire for CU. They've sucked for a long time. If Prime wins, off to NFL. My guess is his arrogance and pride will create some issues or a scandal and he won't be coaching at CU long

What kind of scandal are you expecting from someone that doesn't drink, smoke, or curse?
