Exactly. No one on this list is helping us now. I can’t imagine who would want them. Maybe Owen will be a serviceable QB. If he becomes the starter he’s not leaving. Yet.Who cares?

If everyone leaves, would ot be a bad thing? Our talent is below standards. Let most leave and let the new coach build through the portal. Fresh blood throughout the program.
There are a few individual kids on the team that I would be sad to see go. That said, if 40 kids hit the portal after the season, I wouldn't be upset. CU would be forced to relax their transfer requirements just to field a team. Its about the only way that change is going to happen.
There were hundreds of kids last year in the portal from P5 programs who didn't end up at P5 programs. Can most of those kids be worse than what we currently have.the age old saying, “if you can lose with them, you can lose without them.”
Are you saying Deion Smith is slow? There's a lot of issues with the team, but lol at him being slow. Also, Hankerson is better than Ven , so why don't you list him?1) Victor Venn - Behind W/O Offerdahl and 2 of the slowest RB1s in CFB. That's a recipe for taking the Midnidght Train back to Georgia.
2) Owen McCown - Whether or not he gets significant PT the rest of the way, Dad is smart enough not to let him waste his career here with KD another year or through a rebuild. Any snaps he gets this season are simply to build his transfer resume.
3) Brendon Lewis - You can see it in his demeanor, he's done with this program. I would be too. He'll hit a Texas G5 and probably end up doing pretty well.
4) Shakaun Bowser and/or Zion Magalei - More of a hunch. These two continue the trend of AZ kids figuring out they don't want to be here. New staff at ASU next year and UofA on an upswing helps this along.
5) Drew Carter - Would YOU stay here if you were him at this point? It's either a switch to Safety or find a G5 to compete at.
6) Jordyn Tyson - See McCown. Texas player who's realizing he probably played with better athletes in HS. Rest of the season is an audition for other schools.
This is dumb, too. Bad as we might be, the majority of the guys he played with or against won't be playing at P5 schools or be playing college ball at all.1) Victor Venn - Behind W/O Offerdahl and 2 of the slowest RB1s in CFB. That's a recipe for taking the Midnidght Train back to Georgia.

I don't know if Adam made this free, but it explains things very well.Can someone provide a link to these CU specific transfer requirements? I've never heard reference to them before and now three different posters are talking about them ITT.
PaywallI don't know if Adam made this free, but it explains things very well.
If people can't read it, I or someone else can summarize.
Substantial challenge CU faces with bringing in transfers

Ok.Paywall
Yeah but when players leave UCLA or Cal and are looking for a job, what do they say in an interview when they’re asked which school they took their last 48 credit hours? Because an employer will totally ask them.Ok.
basically, the NCAA has that "progress to graduation" requirement where a certain percentage has to have been achieved each of the 5 years on the eligibility clock.
CU does not have a liberal arts or general studies major, making it difficult to transfer all credits as progress toward a degree.
Further, a student's final 48 credit hours earned have to be at CU in order to qualify for a CU degree.
Taken together, it means that UCLA or Cal can get just about any transfer they want admitted. CU is pretty much unable to admit anyone beyond his 2nd year unless as a post-grad.
Often, to get a guy on the edge (like JT Shrout), the player has to be willing to take extra coursework at CU before he can join and participate. Those transfers have to be willing to make significant extra effort to become a Buff above what they would have to do to become a Bruin or Bear despite those being much higher rated universities.
That's an absolute deal breaker in the modern era of college football. A program operating with a one-way check valve on transfers simply cannot be successful in the open transfer era. Either that changes or we're wasting our time here.Ok.

No, which is quite odd given Offerdahl has seen the field. Good kid, good story but if/when he lines up against someone other than our sh!tty defense or an opponent's 4th string, he's going to get Stone Cold Stunned into oblivion.Has Venn even played yet?
Yes. He's mid. He looks fast when compared to his teammates. Dude didn't exactly lap any othe AFAs G5 "track stars" or UM's lumbering Swedes and midwest corn feds.Are you saying Deion Smith is slow? There's a lot of issues with the team, but lol at him being slow. Also, Hankerson is better than Ven , so why don't you list him?
THIS is what you took away from that entire post?This is dumb, too. Bad as we might be, the majority of the guys he played with or against won't be playing at P5 schools or be playing college ball at all.
Yeah because i have a pet peeve about hyperbole. Lol.THIS is what you took away from that entire post?
I had a diagram about it, but I lost it...Has Venn even played yet?
Oh well, no biggie. I just know I haven't seen him.I had a diagram about it, but I lost it...
This joke is terrible...I had a diagram about it, but I lost it...
Except for this response.Oh well, no biggie. I just know I haven't seen him.
This is my hope as well. 90% chance KD isn’t the coach next year. Fire now, hire now (soon). Let that coach re-recruit the players he wants to keep; starting mining the transfer portal day 1 for immediate talent.Ideally we’d fire Karl early enough that we can do a full search and give the new staff time to hit the transfer portal hard before the deadline
Yeah because i have a pet peeve about hyperbole. Lol.
Just don't use hyperbolic statements and we're good.
Also I don't know if it is still as bad as it was but CU admissions is known for being stupid picky about the credits they accept from other schools.Ok.

This is really surprising. The university is so supportive of the program normally, I’m shocked they wouldn’t amend this requirement.That's an absolute deal breaker in the modern era of college football. A program operating with a one-way check valve on transfers simply cannot be successful in the open transfer era. Either that changes or we're wasting our time here.
Did it say what?Venn has been injured fwiw.
I do not believe it’s something serious, but it was reported he was nursing nagging injuries during camp and into the season. Unless he practices and knows his blocking assignments, Hagan isn’t sending him out there. As far as his capabilities, he is simply an unknown at this point.Did it say what?
