We were on the rooftop deck, so it was the perfect angle for watching the whole play unfold. It was awesome.

Us Buff fans in the stadium came alive with that play. I got goosebumps when it happened
Well now we know why there has been all the smoke around bringing in a transfer

Mangham's leaving too.

That one I saw some coming. I wonder if they tried to move him to LB? I assume he wants to be a RB. That was part of the reason he signed at CU over others to begin with
Beau Bisharat syndrom. Good Luck Jaren!

Didn't thank the coaching staff......
Do walk ons really transfer, or just decide to walk on someplace else next year?
Well I thought he was on scholarship, but Adam acted like he had never heard that

Mangham was given enough carries, but never looked like breaking out the big runs
It was a drive by post by someone and never confirmed
Absolute nightmare for coaches.

Probably less of one if you're adding rather than hemorrhaging players
That’s the problem though. Every program is going to lose players every year, so it’s going to be a constant job of recruiting your own current players to stay as well the high school kids and transfers to back fill those kids that left. It’s going to make it very hard for coaches to plan very far out.
The tweet that Jens posted about more and more college coaches jumping to the NFL is true and it’s going to accelerate if there are openings.
The portal is a disaster! Never thought about the idea of Coaches going to the NFL since it is a pain the arse to keep your squad together.

There still has to be a spot on a roster somewhere. Some of these kids might find out there might not be a home anywhere.
I think the portal is great for the athletes overall but at some point someone in the media is going to do research and report on the actual success rate of transfers. I'm sure some kids (like Noyer when he was going to transfer) know they aren't going to play at the same level but the amount of kids that don't land anywhere or end up without a scholarship walking on somewhere else is going to expose the ugly side too.

But there is a lot to talk about this offseason. Got to make this permanent. Allow each player one transfer without having to seat out a year.
When they announced the transfer portal I liked it because I thought the kids needed to be able to have more control over where they play, and I still do.
I also thought that it would be a leveling factor in college football. Instead of top talent being stuck on the bench as a third stringer at Bama a kid could transfer to Oregon State and be a starter.
Unfortunately it seems like instead of evening things it has made them more unbalanced with top QBs going to playoff schools and good depth players leaving lower end P5 schools for G5/FCS.

Something something, redshirt the DC, something something, give practice reps to another DC, something something.
Had this discussion before, but the Portal simply gives the "have's" an insurance policy to bail them out of recruiting mistakes and takes away the only possible way the "have nots" had to try to catch up, namely better player evaluation in the first place.
