advanced stats for weight room. I’ll trust my eyes instead.
Power Clean up 30%
Bench Press up 20+%
Squat up 12%
I don't need eyes vs. advanced metrics to know that's a serious improvement.

It’s an improvement. He will look bigger/faster/stronger. That’s good. Will it translate to performance? I’ll wait to see.
Was that ever anyone’s assertion around that post, or was it just pointing out the physical strides he’s made this offseason?
They tried to bamboozle Hawg, but no one bamboozles Hawg!
No one puts Hawg in the corner
Doesn't mean he has gotten better at football but it does mean he is working his tail off. Usually this kind of effort translates into efforts in other areas as well.
FFS we already know Omarion Miller is a really good football player. He's shown it. He has gotten bigger, faster and stronger since then.
Travis Hunter and Shilo Sanders are not on this list, what are the parameters for inclusion?
I'm expecting big things from him now that we are generally moving away from choice routes.
It’s usually for Seniors, I think.
They opened it up for underclassmen for the first time this year, so I wonder if Hunter not being on the list is just a mistake using the old eligibility rules? Shilo is a Graduate so I assume that's why he's not on the list.
Aren't they rolling with 7 WR's, LG, C, RG and QB. Spread offense

I'm a ****ty troll
Anything is possible. Definitely, multi-WR sets. In running downs/short yardage they may just add a lineman--like they did some last season. They could run some pistol or maybe utilize an H-back set of sorts--I heard rumblings of Pearson being a guy for a H-Back type of position. Smalls is bigger but has great ball skills (was an WR in HS) and might be able to run that. Also, perhaps Walter Taylor 6'5" 235 gets a role, in his Vandy highlights he runs hard. He has been slotted the 3rd string QB, and I imagine they had something in mind with his transfer rather than QB1 once Shedeur leaves.

I said I’d wait, that’s all. Maybe it translates to a bigger, faster receiver who can get off the line and get open. I’ll look forward to seeing his contributions.

Exactly. We should wait and see.

How many catches you think he has this year? Not trying to argue. Just wondering. WR room is crowded.
Walter Taylor feels like a guy that could blow up as a TE, been wondering hard about why he has not switched to it yet
Cordale Russell could take snaps in the TE spot also, so many options

I really cannot wait for football to start (both college and pro). Have to study up on the Buffs as we have so many new guys. A lot different from the old days when you usually had a handful of new starters.
I know this might not be the best way to evaluate how CU could do this season but when playing the Buffs in CFB 25, the transfer RB from Ohio State was good in the passing game and okay in the running game (just like his Ohio State videos showed) and Shepherd from Vandy seemed to be a WR you would throw in clutch situations. Wester did underperform but that might be more to me letting the CPU decide the roster.
You know this isn't real, right?
