He said if the ODU transfer was the caliber player they were going to be filling up on, Prime will lose his mystique

For so long Adam was stuck having to do EVERYTHING with no help. So just having someone to drive clicks and give him relief for a bit was necessary - even if they were always wrong. Now that we have a national team, I think we’ll be seeing more of the national guys helping and less of Maximus.
Maximus is a popular long time poster over there who has gained the respect of many of the regulars. I think Adam welcomes volunteer contributors to help create content.
I also think Adam has a general bias toward being optimistic and supportive of what’s happening at CU because his livelihood relies on it. However, he was a vocal supporter of KD (as were many over there) and said multiple times that he really liked his vision and plan for the program. I asked multiple times what that vision and plan was that he liked and never really got a response.
It’s a delicate balance he has to maintain, I totally understand it and I will keep supporting his site because he does provide great information, but it felt like there were moments of cheerleading from him before last season without reason.
Equally unpopular perspective, I don’t really have an issue with Max. I don’t agree with all of his takes, and he holds himself out to have more expertise than he probably does, but that description applies to like 90% of the posters around here.
He has good bend but really needs to work on his footwork and lateral movement. Probably a project.
Walk-ons count?
But, but, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently.

This kid can play. He's a baller. I can clearly seeing Prime want him

Wanted Williams gone. Somewhat bummed about Martin
The scholly numbers simply have to come down. Not everyone who leaves will be dead weight. They are—mostly—players of value to some program somewhere.
I appreciate the kids who stayed and have been working hard, but this program is—finally—becoming a meritocracy, where only the best players are welcome to stay and develop.

I don't think before I post
Sami possibly sticking along with Rodman and Payne forming 3 experienced DL. I would think we will see someone new come in here as the two backing them up are young. Am I forgetting an incoming Big Nasty at DT?Wanted Williams gone. Somewhat bummed about Martin
It sounds like Trevor Woods has made a big impression.
It’s awesome that he specifically called out, and only one, a player for last regime.
It might have been because a reporter asked about Woods specifically a minute before that
Flipping a roster:
If a kid doesn't want to leave, there's not been much you can do in the past. You can coerce him, encourage him, offer a medical retirement (saves face) which requires the school to fund the scholarship, but it actually has to be based on a real medical issue that at minimum, impacts level of play. It's not the easy path that some here seem to think it is. It's used sparingly.
But USC apparently discovered a rule that a new coach, in the first year, can essentially retire up to 10 players for no other reason than he wants to use their number towards the 85. Up to 10 players max. So that's how CP is going to get there. He's got 10 trump cards where he can move kids off the active 85 list.

This. I was wondering how HCP was so sure he could get to 85 by Aug. 1, while still wanting to bring in more transfers, without getting really nasty with players who didn’t want leave. Getting rid of 15 schollys (assuming some more coming in) after Spring Ball seemed like a big hit without a back up plan.Flipping a roster:

Now we know why HCP can be so aggressive with the numbers. Fascinating.
This is an interesting game theory test.Flipping a roster:

Let's say all you really want is to get your degree, preferably from CU, and the football scholarship was just a means to that end.
You know you're not good enough to see the field again under coach prime.
Do you try and hold out, and just "not quit," so that you can be "one of the ten?"
What are you risking?
Well... You're risking being #11, and being the "best" of that 11, and having to still be on the team, show up to meetings, show up to practice, and always knowing that you don't belong...
Meanwhile your buddies are either one of the 10 running out their scholarships, or they're at another school having fun and playing leapfrog on the sidelines...
