LOL Coach Prime did introduce us to our new QB yesterday. Get Trey Sanders here NOW. 5 star RB out of HS who commits to Alabama and tweets at Deion saying he wants in?

Defensive Line too.

#1 pick said:
He's going to be really good with a chance to win the Heisman. I compare him to Bailey Zappe with a worse deep ball and better legs with a pre snap read as good as Jake Fromm out of Georgia. He's a very accurate and smart QB. He's constantly getting better. Pocket QB. Reader of the game.

He can play but he isn't quite a NFL prospect yet. He's close. That deep ball has to improve and obviously you want to see his style of QB against better competition. If he was a freak athletic with great size, I wouldn't care but he's a cerebral QB who's precision based. I definitely think he could be a 1st round pick in time. I would like to see him behind a much better OL. JSU OL is not good at all. It's bad. Decent in the SWAC and good in some games but overall, most of these kids aren't talented on the OL.

If I had to compare him to Cam Ward. I would say when Cam left UIW, he was more talented, a lot less polished. Even Lindsey Scott Jr who replaced Ward put up superior numbers with far less natural talent than Ward. Sanders is talented but not overly talented. He's overly smart and extremely accurate. Does not miss many throws and you don't see as many spectacular catches because his balls are on target. You do see him some WR drops though. Shedeur is always improving. I'll say that as well. His mobility is miles better this year, than last year.

I'll say he's better than Ward when Ward came out but he's not as talented as Ward. I saw a lot of Ward at UIW. I also saw a number of Scott Jr games at UIW. Who you have around Sanders will matter even more than Ward because Sanders is not as talented.

Just the general context of this analysis is so miles away from any QB CU has had in decades…

Another interesting rule change, any transfer student coming in for competition in the 2023-2024 academic year is guaranteed athletics related aid until they exhaust their eligibility or they complete their undergraduate degree, i.e. they can't be cut.

I lived in Alabama as a kid (military). I can think of a few reasons not to want to stay.

Totally understand, but that guy has one season left before he's eligible for the NFL and is presumably going to be a 3 year starter and compete for a Natty next year. Just seems like an odd move, even if you are fascinated with Prime.

Maybe he's feeling like he's done getting used/yelled at by Saban, he's gotten what he needs from Saban as his ticket is already punched, and now he wants to go be great with Prime for a year.

Fair. You do have to wonder just how much NIL $$ there is at CU. I mean, this is amazing and I'm sure there is a lot of money, but if all these blue chip players and established high end players playing the Free Agency game are looking for big NIL deals, I can't imagine Prime can afford more than few big fish.

Then again, his sales pitch of, "I don't want them focused on NIL, I want them focused on NFL" is pretty great and maybe he's able to pull it off

I think it's going to be the limiting factor. Even if we have untapped resources, those resources are not going to match up with what those kids are seeing from other schools. Some won't care, but many will. I will take being in the game over refusing to even try however

Not knowing his personal situation, maybe he has a specific and urgent need for money sooner rather than later. But bama of all places could provide, you'd think.
 
It raises an interesting strategy discussion. Do you emphasize spending on transfers bc of the one time undergrad transfer rule and confidence that the kid can play at the college level? That would be my initial play in this (likely) limited resources environment.

I do think Prime can make up for it a bit just by who he is and being able to offer something. Then again, he got Walmart and other companies to make big investments in Jackson State, so maybe CU truly will have big time NIL money at some point. You have to think there are some companies out there wanting to be associated with what's going on right now.

That is an x factor. And I think it requires him to win a bit first. If he does, our NIL money really could get ridiculous. But maybe he's got a few things ready to roll off the bat. It is important to remember that he He repeatedly says he doesn't like the "Nils"
 
hard to keep up with all the moving parts. is there a thread with all the tweets and moves? this was Grumblings but now it's across so many threads...
