He is the personification of recruiting. Deion recruiting down south? 1 reason I'd like to see SDSU, UNLV, SMU, and TULANE added to the Pac-10.

Tandaian No. 3 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I'm taking a wait and see approach. There is for sure a lot of buzz about Colorado and Deion Sanders. However, he has only coached against 1 G5 school, UL Monroe and lost. According to Jeff Sagarin ratings, Jackson State was ranked 178 in 2021 with a strength of schedule of 235. In 2022, 156 with a strength of schedule of 242. When you have the most 4 and 5 stars playing against FCS teams, you are going to win games. I'm waiting to see how this season plays out before jumping on the Deion bandwagon for college coach greatness. In my opinion, he only has 1 good win to his name. The game vs Florida A&M to start 2022. 2021 Florida A&M 9-3 7-6 Tennessee St. 5-6 38-16 UL Monroe 4-8 7-12 L Delta State (Division 2) 5-6 24-17 Alabama A&M 7-3 61-15 Alabama St. 5-6 28-7 Bethune-Cookman 2-9 42-12 Mississippi Valley St. 4-7 28-19 Texas Southern 2-8 41-21 Southern 4-7 21-17 Alcorn St. 6-5 24-10 Prairie View A&M 7-5 27-10 South Carolina St. 7-5 10-31 L 2022 Florida A&M 9-2 59-3 Tennessee St. 4-7 16-3 Grambling 3-8 66-24 Mississippi valley St. 2-9 49-7 Alabama St. 6-5 26-12 Bethune-Cookman 2-9 48-8 Campbell 5-6 22-14 Southern 7-5 35-0 Texas Southern 5-6 41-14 Alabama A&M 4-7 27-13 Alcorn St. 5-6 24-13 Southern 7-5 43-24 North Carolina Central 10-2 34-41 L Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Author No. 4 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Tandanian, I agree this will be a work in progress; especially, with the brutal schedule CU has in 2023. But it sure is nice to see a Pac-10 school opening the wallet and getting bolder in Boulder. My daughter attended CU before earning an MD from, sorry, UW. We saw some great games including the Hail Mary Kordell Stewart throw for the win in Ann Arbor and Saleem setting the CU rushing record against Iowa State in Boulder the year he won the Heisman. Under McCartney, CU had a recruiting pipeline into southern California. Will Prime be able to duplicate this? If so and with his name giving him a national recruiting cache and Boulder being a gorgeous place I think, if he stays at CU long enough, it's a matter of time before CU is very competitive in the Pac-10. Boulder fans have shown up through the thin; selling out the spring game is a great step in the potential return back to the thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
