  1. Spoiler

    Info shamelessly stolen from Reddit, my own commentary added

    24/7 Colorado  

    Out of 247 HS recruits signed by Colorado ranked by 24/7 (so clever of them!), Sanders is responsible for 3 of the Top 25 already, less than a month into his tenure. He has a '25 commit that would be Top 3 and a '24 commit that would be Top 15.

    I don't see him threatening Top 10 programs in terms of recruiting now, but any staff in the bottom 80% of P5 not taking Deion seriously is whistling past the graveyard.

    I can understand people being annoyed by the hype, but this is fun as hell to me. The whole college game gets more fun if Deion keeps this recruiting trajectory and improves Colorado on the field, which seems inevitable.

    And the Shadeur-for-Heisman shit is laughable, but I'll smile through the whole ridiculous sham.

    I watched his highlights and they're better than I thought they'd be. Obviously, competition level and separation look to be big issues. But he seems to specialize in catching really, really poorly thrown, more than a little off-target passes. So it's a shame they lost Haynes King - he could've been a match made in heaven with this kid. 

    Yeah I was all ready to laugh at the HUDL but I'm not mad at all. I hope Colorado or Lane gets him, instead.

    and there were no linebackers for sale with the money initially earmarked for hill?  

    Given that the money has to come from people who have to be convinced to part with it... no.

    They'll open the wallet to overspend on an elite freakshow LB like Hill, but a disheartened Ag moneyman isn't going to be feel a rush by dramatically overpaying for some 3-star who will otherwise end up at Arizona State or something.

    Amazes me that even how good this class is, and the size, we're a long ways away from Bama's ranking. 

    The gap between 247 #1 Bama and #3 Texas is stark.

    They have 27 non/PK signees. We have 23.

    Recruits with <0.90 247 rating
    Bama: 1 (of 27)
    Texas: 9 (of 23)

    Recruits in their state's Top 10
    Bama: 24 (of 27)
    Texas: 11 (of 23)

    Avg Recruit score
    #1 Bama 94.9
    #3 Texas 92.5 (-2.4)
    #17 FSU 90.1 (-2.4)

    Insanity.

    Also, the A&M 2022 class (BEST CLASS EVER!!) average recruit score? 94.9.

  5. I don't see him as more of a con-man than any of the more boring, less interesting, less flashy dudes out there. I think people overthink this because he actually has a personality, which is something basically no other NCAA coaches have other than Kiffin and Leach (RIP). It's a hard sell to tell me Sanders is more of a con-man than Jimbo Fisher or Tom Herman or any number of others we could name easily.

    About 34 minutes in, Sharpe says he's been asking Deion why he is so patient coaching little kids for the last 20 years. Sharpe brings up Sanders bringing a ton of little kids to his own HOF induction in 2011. That's wild.

    If it's the guy's long-con plan to flip an HBCU gig for Colorado, I don't know where bussing little kids to games for a decade+ ahead of time factors in.

    The path for a guy like Sanders to coaching $$ is already pretty well-established. He could've had any number of big 6A jobs or Jackson-style jobs at the same time he was coaching little kids and this whole cycle would've started a decade earlier. 6A Texas HS job -> small NCAA -> mid NCAA -> big NCAA/NFL. Simple.

    This dude's path is way more complicated and I think the very clear throughline is his kids. He starts coaching b/c of his boys and he wanted to be directly involved the whole way through. If ANYTHING, if I'm a CU fan I'm worried that Shadeur goes off this year, gets drafted, and Deion tries to get his way into the NFL to stay on the sidelines with Shadeur. Or I'm wondering where his fire goes once both his sons are out of NCAA ball entirely.

     

  6. 1.5 hours of Deion and Shannon Sharpe.

    Starting at 34:08 you see that Deion is passionate about this for sincere reasons. He loves the kids.

    I've already been a believer, but I don't know how someone looks at this and doesn't believe that his man is 100% genuine. Prime Prep whatever, this dude was not bussing little kids to games for some scam. This isn't a con. For all his faults and all his blind spots and failures, this dude is genuinely excited by the idea of helping raise young men. It matters to him.

    "You see how I get excited when talkin' about my babies?"

    Legitimately holding back emotion saying that some of those same kids (who he brought to his 2011 HOF induction) are getting ready to come play college ball.

    Prime Prep talk starts ~37 minutes. Very short section.

    I believe ctj 100% when he says their NIL isn't even conceived, much less in an infancy, so big names will need to believe in the Deion narrative to move, and I think selling that narrative to HS recruits is way more feasible than selling it to guys who are already working in the system.

    My bets.

    2023: 4 wins and a top 20 recruiting class (2024)
    2024: 7 wins and a top 15 recruiting class (2025)
    2025: "God has called me to be an agent of change in Starkville, MS..."

    But most importantly, a shitload of entertainment.

    Why would Starkville get rid of The Pirate?

    this just feels surreal 😥

    Yeah, this just wasn't supposed to be happening right now. We were supposed to get a few more years of Leach being a goof in the SEC then him retired being a goof on TV.

    Shattered for his family, just shattered. I don't know if he had grandkids or not, but that's a weird grandpa stolen away. 

    damnit, this fucking sucks

    This is true. Hartzell does not fuck around. 

    I hope not. There is zero reason to let this simmer. Fire him for cause as soon as legally possible. Remove every trace of him from campus this afternoon after lunch. Start talking to the agents of coaching prospects and hitting up boosters for NIL inducements to keep current recruits.

    Don't even think about this guy. He's less than a ghost.
