Quote from: jdcatty on Apr 24, 2023, 05:53 PMNot sure what is going on with Coach Prime. They've had like 23 players hit the portal since the spring game last Saturday.

Well, he did tell them to go ahead and "jump in that portal."

Quote from: Lurk on Apr 24, 2023, 06:00 PMHe told them in the first team meeting that he was going to run a bunch of them off.

Yeah, but after the Spring Game?

Quote from: jdcatty on Apr 24, 2023, 10:51 AMso, after drawing 47k to the spring game at Colorado, the alleged star of the game, Montana Lemonious-Craig, a rb, has hit the portal...

Apparently we have offered this guy

Are you sure that isn't a Key and Peele made up name?

egregious · Apr 24, 2023, 09:10 PM

Is 23 out of line with everybody else? I don't think so.

I don't know anything about Key and Peele. But the guy seems legit if you just search him on Twitter:

Montana Lemonius fits right in.

That makes like 60 some odd into the portal since the end of last season so yeah it's a lot. He's also losing incoming freshman commits. Some ting wong.

Yeah, I saw another story, only has 20 guys left from last year. I think the 23 was over a short period of time

Yes, the 23 was in the last four days or whatever since the Spring Game.

Clearly Deion is trying really hard to be a magician so he can get that next job that isn't in Colorado. Aint none of this 4 year 6 year 9 year plan type of shit. He may hurt some feelings here and there but if he's pulling in good talent out of the portal then nobody will care this time next year.

It'll be used against him in recruiting. As Kam said, that's what Chad did and we all know how that ended.

The key difference being that Morris was a ruhtard.

100%. To even compare Deon to Morris is ruhtarded.

piglosopher · Apr 26, 2023, 08:13 PM

For all practical purposes, not really. I can see Deion flaming out the same way.

At least Deion hasn't dropped in a stunt double of himself from the basketball arena ceiling...yet.

Quote from: animal on Apr 23, 2023, 05:14 PMLooks like we picked up a TE from UNT via the portal.

Our TE from North Texas has de-Committed and reported visited Cal or went to the state of Cal.

Anyway maybe that Arkansas State TE that went to Colorado and it already back in the portal is in the mix. I think we're fine with Washington as a guy that's going to play a lot of snaps but it would be nice to have an experienced guy especially if they want to run some two TE looks.

Now re-committed, for whatever that is worth:
