Ralphie Report: Why Travis Hunter’s Odds of Going First Overall are Skyrocketing

Hunter’s draft odds surge after Titans’ statement

How NFL general managers and organizations will view Travis Hunter come draft season is still unclear. As a two-way player with generational talent, Travis is unlike any prospect the NFL has seen in decades.

Many analysts believe he is the best overall player in the 2024 draft class, but his uniqueness has left his draft stock open to debate. Could his desire to play offense and defense sway some teams away, or will his undeniable talent make him a no-brainer at the top of the draft?

On Thursday, Tennessee Titans president of football operations, Chad Brinker, may have given fans a significant clue about their plans for the first pick in the draft.

When asked about the team’s strategy, Brinker told reporters: “We won’t pass on a generational talent with the first pick in the draft.”

While he didn’t mention Travis Hunter by name, the statement strongly aligns with what many NFL insiders are saying about Hunter’s potential. It’s rare for a player to dominate on both sides of the ball, and the Titans’ comments could indicate that they view him as the type of player who could change the trajectory of a franchise.

Following Brinker’s statement, sportsbooks took note. Odds for Travis to become the number one overall pick shifted dramatically on one platform, moving from +1400 to +140 in just a matter of hours. While nothing is set in stone, it’s clear that NFL teams—and betting markets—are starting to treat Travis Hunter as a serious contender to be the top pick in April’s draft.

Ralphie Report: Colorado Buffaloes unveil Wall of Honor for men’s basketball

NCAA Basketball: Nebraska at Colorado

CU will commemorate the greatest players in program history.

The Colorado Buffaloes have seen better days on the basketball court, and that’s why they’re choosing to look back instead of forward the rest of the season.

The Buffs will soon unveil a Wall of Honor at the CU Events Center. There will be displayed the names and numbers of the greatest players in program history.

Those players are:

Chauncey Billups (1995-97)
Alec Burks (2009-11)
Jim Davis (1961-64)
Spencer Dinwiddie (2011-14)
Burdette “Burdie” Haldorson (1951-55)
Jay Humphries (1980-84)
Cliff Meely (1968-71)
Andre Roberson (2010-13)
Scott Wedman (1971-74)
Derrick White (2016-17)

Those names include NBA Champions, Olympic gold medalists, All-Stars, Players of the Year, and a whole list of all-conference selections and accolades of the sort. They’re legends of the game, at least in Boulder, and every one deserves their one write-up when their number is revealed. (Stay tuned.)

The first to be honored will be Haldorson, Meely and Davis during the Buffs’ January 28th home game against Arizona State. After that, Humphries has his own ceremony on February 8th when the Buffs play the #7 Houston Cougars. The rest at TBD.

Ralphie Report: Source: Cowboys looking elsewhere from Deion Sanders

Oklahoma State v Colorado

Jerry Jones is zeroing in on another candidate.

Colorado fans can now breathe a collective sigh of relief.

After multiple weeks of flirting between Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, it looks as though Coach Prime will not be the next head coach of America’s Team.

According to reports, Jones is now expected to hire Brian Schottenheimer, the current Cowboys offensive coordinator and son of legendary NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, as the team’s next head coach. The deal is reportedly expected to be finalized as soon as Thursday evening.

Why should this matter to you as a Colorado fan? First and foremost, that means the flirting between Jones and Sanders should come to an end.

Reports came out in early January that Jones’ ideal candidate for the head coaching job of the Cowboys was Sanders, and Sanders didn’t shy away from the rumors.

“To hear from Jerry [Jones] is delightful and intriguing,” Sanders told NFL reporter Adam Schefter in a statement. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing.”

Sanders ended the statement by reiterating his support for Boulder, saying he loves where he is at with the Buffaloes.

“But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community,” Sanders told Schefter.

With Jones and the Cowboys looking elsewhere, it seems extremely unlikely that Sanders will head to the NFL for the 2025-26 season. Anything is possible, but it looks like Coach Prime is here to stay in Boulder.

Things are not going super great for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Bad news: CU is 0-7 in Big 12 play, cannot stop turning the ball over, and can’t find a way to stop the bleeding.
