Noah King? He's doing fine, but a "standout?"FWIW, I found this article on Buffs SI, not sure how much in the loop they truly are but, they put out a few daily short articles, so it seems that they have a beat guy of sorts.
Noah King might be turning heads at CB maybe pushing to be a starter at outside CB. Although a Frosh, he has the size and was KSU's 2nd best recruit.
Larry Johnson was mentioned at RT. The other guys are not a surprise.
Top Five Colorado Buffaloes Who've Stood Out In Fall Camp
A strong mix of returning players and incoming transfers turned heads during the Colorado Buffaloes' first week of fall camp. While it's still too early to makwww.si.com
Damn, would be a disappointment about Oatis if he’s not a starter
DNVR said he's working through some sort of injury and the coaches are happy with what they've seen so far.
Ah thanks. Hopefully it’s a situation where they know what they have with him and just need him healthy to start the season
Corner is not a concern IMO. There’s a lot of quality there. Least deep group is LB followed by S. If we can stay healthy in those two groups, defense is legit because our DL is tops in the Big 12.
Stays healthy is legitimately in elite company this year with some absolute freaks at the position.
Yes
Sure hope it's the players and coaches

Your Resident “POS Poster”
A rabid antidentite! And btw, the wife is a colorectal surgeon. She is the ASSWMN.
They won 9 games last year proving everyone wrong, Prime signed his extension eliminating (for now) the speculation of him leaving, his son and Travis are no longer on the team. Not a lot of clicks to be had right now.

Prime being out of action for months meant CU was completely out of mind.
Not to mention, a lot of eyes on CU were there to watch Prime fail. When that didn’t happen, they changed course to saying he’d retire once his kids were gone, or he’d take another job.
All of the narratives from the haters fell apart, so now they’re just like…well I guess CU is going to business as usual.
We need to make a statement against GT to remind everyone we’re not going anywhere.
Surprised to see you drinking so much Kool-Aid
Seriously though, our defense struggled against run-heavy teams last year (especially those with mobile quarterbacks), and now we’ve lost our best interior run defender along with our top run-stopping linebackers. I just can’t share the same level of optimism until I see two things happen:
1. They play significantly less cover 1 man than last year, and
2. Oatis really live up to the hype
I don't believe DJ's draft hype is because of his current capability, I believe it's mostly because of his measurement and potential.
I don't want to focus on DJ because I do think he is a good CB. My main point is that I believe we've gotten weaker at each spot. I would say TH + DJ + Preston + Colton as primary backup was top 3 secondary group in the nation. I would very happy if the group this year is top 3 in big12.
ESPN used the term “Rebuild” because we lost 6 guys to the NFL, despite improving in every position except QB and some guy named Travis Hunter. Not the definition of “Rebuild” or even “Reload”. I would say we simply had to “Retool” and it takes about 5-6 guys to make up for those 2 and the other receivers, but we have those guys in place.
The key is Leadership and Par Shurmur’s offense!!!

We improved at every position except for the most important one.
Gotcha.
I really don’t believe that to be true. I think there’s a good chance we get improved play from the QB position this year. With a more balanced offense and a QB who isn’t playing hero ball all the time, we should be more consistent and more difficult to defend. In theory, anyway.

I wouldn’t put it at zero percent. Shedeur is/was incredible, but he also put the offense in some bad spots by taking unnecessary sacks. I saw a stat somewhere that said close to half the sacks he took were on him and not the result of poor pass blocking. He tried to make plays when none were there. Sometimes it worked, so nobody was going to try to stop him. If Salter and/or Lewis can cut down on the negative plays while keeping the same completion percentage, I’d consider that an improvement. Having a legit running game will help that a lot. If we can actually find a TE, that will help even more.
Kaidon Salter’s career completion percentage is 58.7%. Shedeur’s completion percentage was 69.3% in 2023 and 74% last year. Salter brings a lot to the table, but he is not completing 74% of his passes. Neither is a true freshman. Juju will be in elite company if he completes 65%. Trevor Lawrence was 65.2% as a freshman.
That’s one half of salters game, an imo you have to try to quantify how many times Shedeur holding onto the ball (and bad oline play) killed drives. I think you underestimate what salter can do with his feet.
Career stats:
Salter - 298 carries, 1,697 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns
Sanders - 399 carries, 29 rushing yards, 17 rushing touchdowns (-127 yards rushing as a buff)
We're f*cked.
