WHOA: Recruiting Insider LOVES New Deion Sanders, Colorado Mindset

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes ignite the college football offseason with a major recruiting surge, landing five vital commitments and shifting their identity from portal-first to high school recruiting aggression. Are the Buffs finally building sustainable roster depth and unlocking a new era in Boulder? Kevin Borba and Brian Smith dive into Colorado’s latest haul, spotlighting under-the-radar gems like unranked but prolific RB Steven Alexis and battle-tested safety Samari Howard from the powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas program. The hosts unpack why star ratings often don’t tell the whole story—especially for prospects flying under the radar at overlooked high schools—and celebrate Colorado’s willingness to “lift up some rocks” in search of future contributors. Previewing another massive visit weekend, Kevin Borba and Brian Smith break down the key names to watch—including edge rushers, linebackers, and a Stanford commit who could flip—and dissect what this defensive emphasis says about the Buffs’ needs and NIL realities. The duo explains the importance of early offers, roster-building strategy, and how recent upgrades to the recruiting staff have fueled Colorado’s hot streak. With the Buffs already ahead of last year’s pace and showing a new level of back-office investment, Kevin Borba and Brian Smith forecast how an all-in recruiting approach could vault Colorado into the national conversation. Is this the blueprint for bowl contention—and could the Buffs become the team to beat in the new Big 12 recruiting hierarchy?
