Locked On Buffs - Daily Podcast on Colorado Football and Basketball

Deion Sanders had plenty to say about the current state of Colorado football recruiting, and in today's episode of Locked On Buffs, Kevin Borba breaks down what Coach Prime's comments really mean for the future of the Buffaloes. Is Colorado changing its recruiting philosophy, or is Deion simply doubling down on the blueprint that has already transformed the program? We dive into the biggest takeaways and what fans should expect moving forward.  The conversation doesn't stop there. Kevin also shares his four biggest takeaways from Big 12 Media Days, including why quarterback Julian "JuJu" Lewis continues to show signs that he's ready for the spotlight. From his confidence and leadership to the way Colorado is positioning him heading into the season, there's plenty of reason for Buffs fans to be excited. Another major topic is the reaction from Texas Tech during media days. Are the Red Raiders creating unnecessary drama, or do they have a legitimate gripe? Kevin gives his thoughts on why Texas Tech's approach came across as more complaining than confidence and what it says about the conference heading into the season.  Finally, the episode wraps up with the latest discussion surrounding Deion Sanders not being featured in the college football video game. What happened, why it matters, and whether fans should actually care are all on the table.

Colorado continues to build momentum on the recruiting trail with another huge addition, landing four-star offensive tackle Dewey Young. Adding a player of Young's caliber is another sign that Deion Sanders and his staff are making offensive line recruiting a top priority, and it's paying off in a big way. Elite programs are built from the inside out, and Colorado is clearly investing in the trenches as it looks toward the future. Young has the size, athleticism, and physical tools to develop into a difference-maker at the college level. Offensive tackles are among the most valuable positions in football, and bringing in a highly regarded prospect gives the Buffaloes another potential cornerstone to protect future quarterbacks and open running lanes. His commitment also adds to the excitement surrounding Colorado's recruiting efforts, showing that the program continues to attract talented players from across the country.  This commitment isn't just about one prospect—it reflects the direction of the program. Colorado is proving it can compete for top recruits and build a roster capable of challenging the best teams in college football. If the Buffaloes continue stacking talent like this, the foundation for long-term success will only get stronger. Dewey Young is another important piece of that vision, and Buffs fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about what comes next.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Big 12 preseason all-conference teams have been released—and not a single Colorado player made the cut. Is it media bias, or are analysts sleeping on the Buffaloes’ revamped roster? Kevin Borba dives into the snubs, questioning how stars like Danny Scudero (San Jose State transfer with 88 catches and nearly 1,300 yards last season) and Demetrius Hunter could be left off the list, and suggesting these oversights could fuel Colorado’s motivation 00:02:29. He breaks down why the Buffs, projected as one of the conference’s worst teams by USA Today, could easily outperform those low expectations. Issues like quarterback play, run defense, and development are discussed as potential pitfalls, but a new, quarterback-friendly offensive scheme and increased physicality up front may unlock a higher ceiling than anyone expects 00:11:01. Recruiting momentum is another hot topic.    Kevin Borba reveals Colorado is trending to land four-star offensive tackle Dewey Young, with depth and talent across multiple states adding to a top-30 class. There’s optimism that Coach Prime’s aggressive talent acquisition—especially in the trenches—will pay off, even as wide receiver recruiting remains a strength by default 00:18:17. As Kevin Borba sees it, negative narratives and preseason snubs might set the stage for an underrated Buffs breakthrough. Which potential stars were the most egregiously left off the list, and could Colorado turn media doubt into next season’s defining edge?  Listeners are asked to weigh in and share their favorite Deion Sanders era moment ahead of an upcoming episode celebrating the program’s best under Coach Prime.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

A surprising recruiting rivalry is brewing as Colorado and Ole Miss go head-to-head for top Mississippi talent. With offensive line coach Gunner White leveraging deep Mississippi ties for Colorado and Ole Miss countering with staunch in-state recruiting, these programs are clashing over high-profile names like Ben'Jarvius Schumaker and Antonio Berry. Twitter beefs, rapid-fire flips, and cryptic coaching jabs have turned this cross-conference battle into must-watch drama. Stephen Willis and the Locked On crew dive deep into the saga: Was Schumaker's brief Colorado commitment a taste of things to come?  Can Ole Miss fend off Coach Prime’s bold new recruiting strategy, or will Colorado’s SEC invasions shake up the pecking order? Both sides analyze the stakes around player retention, NIL arms races, and the endless cycle of commitments, decommitments, and transfer portal intrigue. Is this the start of a long-term SEC vs. Coach Prime rivalry—or just a prelude to even bigger recruiting fireworks? With both programs aiming for top-two finishes in every battle and Mississippi's unsung three-stars on the radar, no commitment is ever truly safe. The hosts debate whether Colorado–Mississippi State recruiting wars could be next and spotlight why offensive linemen are college football’s ultimate prize in this unpredictable landscape.

With both Colorado and Kansas State coming off disappointing campaigns, can Deion Sanders and Colin Klein engineer instant turnarounds in the new-look Big 12? Kevin Borba and Christian Rauh dig deep into how the Buffaloes’ radical offseason overhaul—highlighted by 50+ new faces and Brendan Marion’s explosive Go-Go offense—might finally ignite some fireworks in Boulder, despite a brutal 2024 schedule.  Over in Manhattan, anticipation surrounds Kansas State’s shift to Klein’s “new old school” approach after a sour 6–6 finish. Is the hype on Avery Johnson’s resurgence legit, or does the quarterback room face more growing pains? Both hosts dissect expectations, schedule breaks, and the pressure on Klein to hit 9 wins in his first season.  The duo then debate an eyebrow-raising Big 12 coaching power ranking that disrespects Deion at #15 and puts Klein dead last—questioning the criteria and weighing which coaches are set for a fall, or unexpectedly poised to rise, in 2024. Looking ahead to Big 12 Media Days, Kevin Borba and Christian Rauh examine what clarity needs to emerge from Colorado’s new leaders and Kansas State’s hopeful core, plus which characters (Deion? Joey McGuire? Dave Aranda?) are bound for viral headlines or the hottest seat in Texas. Can these two battered programs redefine their trajectories—and who will steal the spotlight on and off the field this summer?

Florida State legend Jalen Ramsey gives a stunning stamp of approval to Coach Prime, telling Colorado players that, if he were in their shoes, “it would have been no Florida State” — a major shot across the bow of his alma mater and validation for Deion Sanders’ culture-building in Boulder. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith unpack the significance of Ramsey’s remarks, how NFL stardom and mentorship have become hallmarks of the Prime regime, and why Florida State may regret not hiring Deion Sanders when they had the chance. With fall camp fast approaching, Colorado hosts a breakthrough leadership retreat on Coach Prime’s Texas property — creating unprecedented access for players to NFL greats like Jalen Ramsey, Shannon Sharpe, Chad Johnson, and more. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith debate the new culture-first approach, Prime’s willingness to adapt from his NFL ways and invest deeper in team bonding, and how this retreat signals a shift toward accountability and togetherness for the Buffs after last year’s late-season stumbles. The duo also breaks down Colorado’s Big 12 Media Day roster announcement: Six players, including vocal leaders, spring standouts, and Coach Prime favorites, make the trip — with Jay Smith and Kevin Borba analyzing what each selection means for playing time, locker room chemistry, and the program’s evolving identity. Can Coach Prime’s recalibrated culture and NFL pipeline propel Colorado to its best season yet? Did Jalen Ramsey’s endorsement just tip the scales for future recruiting? And will the Buffs prove the doubters wrong as momentum builds in year two of Prime? All that and more in this action-packed episode.

Colorado Buffaloes surge on the recruiting trail with the weekend commitment of three-star wide receiver Ryan Ferdinand out of Palm Beach Lakes, Florida, beating out strong pushes from Cincinnati and Pitt. The 5’10” playmaker brings versatility, explosive after-the-catch skills, and fits perfectly with Colorado’s Go Go offense under Coach Prime—who continues to turn Florida into a key recruiting pipeline. With 18 commits, including standout four-stars like Lamarcus Jones and Andre Adams, Colorado’s class now ranks 35th nationally, reflecting a more developmental, retention-focused approach amid changing transfer and eligibility rules. Media Day rosters drop and signal a new era for the Buffs: a single quarterback, Julian Lewis, taking center stage confirms confidence in his QB1 status for 2024. Fellow leaders Danny Scudero, Zach Atkins, and defensive stalwarts Cree Thomas and Nate Mitchell round out the group, highlighting positional battles and a renewed emphasis on leadership and culture in Boulder as Coach Prime looks to flip last year’s struggles. Off the gridiron, Colorado basketball gets a shot of life as NBA Finals champion Derrick White steps in as president of basketball strategy and donates $2 million to Tad Boyle’s program. With talent development and resource investment lagging in recent years, White’s involvement aims to raise the program’s recruiting potential, facility quality, and national profile, answering long-awaited calls for support. Will the Buffs’ bold recruiting bets and newfound culture pay off on the field, and can Derrick White’s homecoming spark a long-needed turnaround on the hardwood? Locked on Buffs breaks it down as the new era under Coach Prime and Colorado legends takes shape. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Utah and Colorado brace for a pivotal Big 12 clash amid transformative offseasons for both programs. With Morgan Scalley stepping in as Utah’s head coach—preserving continuity while raising new expectations—and Deion Sanders overhauling his Colorado staff and roster, the stage is set for a high-stakes matchup between teams taking very different approaches. Can Colorado’s “Go Go” offense and revamped transfer-heavy lineup recapture early Coach Prime magic, or will Utah’s returning star Devin Dampier and a favorable schedule keep the Utes among the league’s elite?  Questions abound about Colorado’s offensive line and defensive rebuild, while Utah looks to overcome major turnover in the trenches but leans on a proven culture and dynamic quarterback play. Kevin Borba and JT Wistrcill debate bowl expectations for Colorado, Utah’s roster confidence, and the impact of key position battles—highlighted by former Utah backup Isaac Wilson’s fight for the Buffs’ QB1 job. With both hosts eyeing Utah as the early favorite—and acknowledging the unpredictable nature of Colorado’s overhaul—this episode digs deep into spring takeaways, schedule analysis, and what it’ll really take for either team to make noise in a loaded Big 12 race. Will Utah’s steadiness survive the transition to Scalley’s leadership? Is this the year Colorado turns transfer portal risk into reward? As both teams reload and launch into league play, all eyes are on their fall collision and the statement it will send across the conference.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

On today's episode of Locked On Buffs, Kevin Borba breaks down four-star linebacker Kaylon Bailey's commitment to Colorado over national powerhouse Ohio State.

He also explains why this commitment is another sign that Coach Prime continues to beat some of college football's biggest programs on the recruiting trail.

Big 12 sends shockwaves through college football as legal battles with Texas Tech and Attorney General Ken Paxton escalate. Can the conference maintain control, or is Texas Tech setting itself up as an outcast—or even an SEC contender? The Big 12 Squad breaks down the legal firefight over Brennan Sorsby’s eligibility, Cody Campbell’s defiance, and what these moves mean for the Big 12’s future. The roundtable debates whether the precedent set could lead to government overreach, if Tech’s NIL dominance makes them a target, and why other teams like Cincinnati and Indiana might be in the crosshairs next. With high-stakes gambles on and off the field, Texas Tech’s clash with Big 12 bylaws could redefine power dynamics across the league. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Colorado Buffaloes keep stacking wins on the recruiting trail even through a wild and turbulent week, as Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders and staff snag another key commitment in 3-star linebacker Jamir Daniels Portis. Amidst rumors and rival Twitter drama, Colorado’s recruiting class holds firm at 16 commits, climbing back to 43rd nationally and highlighting big wins over established powerhouses like North Carolina State and Cincinnati. The Buffs’ expanding national reach—thanks in part to director of recruiting Rashad Rich—signals a new era, outbidding Penn State for top talent and flipping targets from SEC country. Kevin Borba spotlights the lessons learned in modern recruiting: if a player’s still visiting elsewhere or posting about new offers, that recruitment’s wide open. Old rivals like Ole Miss are making for spicy social media feuds, but Colorado isn’t backing down from any challenge. Attention shifts to four-star wide receiver Khalil Taylor, with the Buffs locked in a heated battle against Nebraska and Alabama for his signature ahead of his July 6th announcement. Taylor’s dynamic playmaking—on both offense and special teams—would be a statement get, especially if Colorado tops the hated Huskers for the win. In the second half, Kevin Borba breaks down major NCAA rule changes that will transform roster management: goodbye to endless waivers and decade-long college careers, thanks to a streamlined five-years-for-five-seasons eligibility rule. With waiver exceptions narrowing to missions, military service, and pregnancy, and a new, shorter transfer portal window proposed for January, Colorado’s roster calculus enters a new era. Amid questions about Ezra Christensen’s eligibility, Kevin Borba explains the key deadlines and evolving landscape that could make or break players’ futures. As the Buffs charge forward, armed with depth, recruiting momentum, and a more level financial playing field, can Coach Prime finally deliver on the promise to build Boulder into a powerhouse? Colorado fans, don’t blink: the next wave of decisions and commitments may reshape the future of Buffs football—and the entire Big 12.

Colorado’s recruiting trail turned chaotic as a major four-star defensive line commit, Ben Jarvius Shoemaker, flipped to the Buffs from Ole Miss—then stunned the program by flipping back just hours later. In a whirlwind 24 hours that sent shockwaves through Buff Nation, Colorado endured multiple high-profile decommitments, including running back Stephen Alexis (to Illinois) and Jaden Lindsay (to North Carolina), as Ole Miss countered by landing top talent Antonio Barry. Class rankings took a hit, dropping Colorado from the top 35 to 40th nationally, leaving the staff scrambling to regain momentum and answer pressing questions on both lines. Kevin Borba unpacks the dramatic recruiting saga, examining the emerging feud between Coach Prime’s staff and Ole Miss, the challenges of NIL-driven flips, and whether Colorado has the resources to compete with SEC powers. Despite the setbacks, Colorado’s class boasts several key pieces—highlighted by quarterback Andre Adams, wideout Jaiden Kelly Murray, and a cadre of promising linemen—with more targets still in play, including Mississippi running back Kylan Bobo.  Amid the madness, Colorado bolsters its defensive ranks by hiring former NFL linebacker Xavier Adibi, whose ties to DC Chris Marv and hard-hitting experience aim to shore up a defense that struggled mightily against the run last season. With run defense, linebacker play, and overall cohesion under the microscope, can this new-look staff engineer needed improvement despite roster turnover that could see up to 20 new starters?  Shifting gears, Kevin Borba dives into the hype surrounding EA Sports College Football 27, spotlighting wide receiver Danny Scudero’s top-10 positional ranking and breaking down which Buffs might rise in the video game ratings. The segment explores star transfers, high-upside newcomers, and which under-the-radar Colorado players—like Damien Henderson and Nate Mitchell—are primed to outplay early projections both on the field and in Madden-inspired metrics. Has Colorado weathered the worst of the offseason drama, or is the recruiting arms race and Big 12 battles just beginning? Expectations, rivalries, and player development hang in the balance as Coach Prime and the Buffs chase stability and on-field respect. Will fresh faces and new staff shakeups provide the spark Colorado needs to steady the ship—and could another round of recruiting theatrics be right around the corner?  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.  Join the Locked On Everydayer Club and get ad-free audio, access to our members-only Discord, and more — all built for our most loyal fans.

Colorado lands a game-changing commitment as top-100 defensive lineman Benjarvus Shoemaker flips from Ole Miss, electrifying the Buffaloes’ recruiting momentum and silencing trench doubters. With Coach Prime redirecting his focus from the transfer portal to high school recruiting, Colorado’s staff is stacking blue-chip talent and stealing SEC targets, boasting 16 commits and their highest ranking in recent memory. Is this the turning point for Colorado’s rebuilding efforts, or just another flash in the pan? Kevin Borba and Jay Smith dive into the Buffs’ strategic recruiting shift—from prioritizing skill players to stockpiling offensive and defensive line prospects. They break down recent SEC flips, discuss the Buffs’ inside-out roster building, and highlight the enhanced coordination across Colorado’s staff.  As optimism rises, alumni unrest brews beneath the surface: legendary players like Darian Hagan and Chad Brown express frustration over jersey retirements and their place in the program, exposing generational rifts and challenging new leadership to unite CU’s past and present. The hosts tackle the roots of alumni dissatisfaction, propose solutions for reconciliation, and urge Colorado’s legends to embrace the program’s evolution. On-field expectations generate further debate as preseason rankings and Vegas odds keep Colorado in the underdog role, leaving the Buffs with everything to prove.  Can this team defy doubters yet again, sustain the recruiting surge, and rally both old and new fans behind Coach Prime’s vision? The stakes are higher than ever as Colorado football strives to reclaim national relevance.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Colorado football suffered a recruiting hit as three-star offensive lineman Jaiden Lindsay flipped his commitment from Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes to North Carolina. Lindsay originally committed to Colorado earlier this month and was viewed as a key piece of the Buffs' 2027 recruiting class before reopening his recruitment and choosing the Tar Heels. What does this loss mean for Coach Prime, Colorado recruiting, and the future of the offensive line? We break down Lindsay's decision, the impact on Colorado's recruiting rankings, and what's next for the Buffaloes as they continue building momentum on the recruiting trail.  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Colorado football hits a flashpoint as legendary Buffs Darian Hagan and Chad Brown call out the disconnect between the program’s celebrated past and its rapidly expanding Coach Prime-era fanbase. With debate swirling over forgotten alumni, jersey retirements for Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, and a perceived lack of inclusion, the rift between “old guard” and new fans widens. Does the administration need to step up recognition for historic contributors — or is this just part of college football’s evolving landscape under Deion Sanders? Kevin Borba dives into the alumni frustrations and offers actionable solutions: public support, renewed alumni engagement, and stronger efforts from AD Fernando Lovo to honor Buffs legends. Meanwhile, Colorado’s recruiting machine shifts into overdrive, storming SEC territory to flip blue-chip prospects — including key trench players like Benjarvis Shoemaker. With new aggressiveness in both national and in-state recruiting (yes, 2028 QB Theo Lee has an offer!), the Buffs are poised for their most competitive class in years. Who wins out in the power struggle between tradition and transformation? Can inclusion and innovation coexist as Colorado’s national profile explodes? And is this the year the Buffs own the trenches and land statement recruits in SEC territory? Kevin Borba tackles it all — from locker room legacies to the front lines of a recruiting renaissance.    Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

As the Colorado Buffaloes gear up for the upcoming season, uncertainty swirls around key positions and schematic changes. Is Juju Lewis ready to command a complex offense, or will his development lag in Boulder’s pressure cooker? With a challenging early schedule and high expectations, the team faces tough calls on how long to let young talent grow before shifting direction. Running back hierarchy, wide receiver rotations, and Brendan Marion’s go-go offense present both opportunity and dilemma as depth battles heat up. On the defensive side, Colorado’s new-look line raises hopes that a G5- and FCS-fueled rebuild can finally deliver the physical edge Coach Prime craves. Eligibility questions surrounding Ezra Christensen, Boo Carter’s diverse role, and which freshmen will crack the rotation add further intrigue. Can the Buffs’ revamped defensive front hold up in the Big 12, or will experience gaps be exposed? Host Kevin Borba dives into ten pressing questions—tracking every storyline from offensive readiness to defensive breakthroughs and the broader uncertainty hovering over Deion Sanders’ program. Are national pundits sleeping on Colorado? Will the go-go offense mask remaining weaknesses, or are the Buffs still a season away from bowl glory? Locked On Buffs is all over the critical developments, asking: Can Coach Prime’s squad turn doubt into statement wins and rekindle belief in Boulder?

Deion Sanders and Colorado land near the bottom of the latest Big 12 coaching rankings, sparking disbelief and pushback from Kevin Borba. Is Coach Prime really being underestimated, or do his recent results justify the skepticism? Kevin Borba dives deep into the logic (and flaws) behind Brett McMurphy’s controversial list, comparing Sanders’ progress and adaptability against peers like Scott Frost, Jimmy Rogers, Dave Aranda, and more. Does Coach Prime deserve more credit—or does he have more to prove heading into his second Power Four campaign? With recruiting battles intensifying, Kevin Borba details Colorado’s rollercoaster week on the trail. Despite losing a flip from Steven Alexis, the Buffs are trending for top running backs Kylan Bobo and Marquis Fennell, plus linebacker target Jameer Daniels Portis. A potential haul of versatile playmakers could supercharge the Go Go offense, and ready the Buffs for a tougher Big 12 slate. Locked On's 10th birthday sets the stage for Kevin Borba’s list of ten things to watch this season: from Brennan Marion’s Go Go offense and the long-awaited emergence of a balanced ground attack, to physicality at safety and the high ceiling of Julian Lewis at quarterback. The Buffs face key early road tests and an ever-shifting media narrative—can Deion’s squad turn doubters into believers, or will another up-and-down year fuel more hot takes? Will Colorado’s new-look roster and recruiting momentum translate into on-field redemption? Or are the Buffs still fighting for respect in a crowded Big 12? This episode unpacks why 2024 could be a turning point—or another chapter in Colorado’s wild ride under Coach Prime.   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs  Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs    #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Texas Tech’s quarterback saga reaches a stunning turning point as Brendan Sorsby exits college football following a high-profile gambling scandal—leaving the Red Raiders scrambling and the Big 12’s power balance reshuffled. With Sorsby out, legal battles averted, and mental health defenses scrutinized, the supplemental draft awaits while Will Hammond steps into the spotlight coming off a major injury.

The hosts break down position battles, potential coin-flip matchups, and big-picture storylines: Can Colorado capitalize on a suddenly winnable home date and blow past Vegas’ low expectations? Is this the moment that vaults BYU to conference-favorite status?  Plus, recruiting catches fire in Boulder—Kevin Borba and Jay Smith analyze Colorado’s aggressive pivot from the transfer portal to building a foundation with high school talent: key SEC flips, trench reinforcements, and what it means for long-term Buffs success. As Colorado’s transformation accelerates and the Big 12 standings get a major shakeup, this episode sets the tone for a wild season ahead—with bold predictions and plenty of smack talk for the discord.

As Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes gear up for 2026, a wave of high-impact transfers is primed to reshape both sides of the ball. Center Demetrius Hunter, a Houston transfer with 25 collegiate starts, steps in as the new anchor for an offensive line desperate for stability and experience. On defense, former Notre Dame blue-chipper Cree Thomas has already asserted himself as a cornerback one, flashing the physicality and confidence to energize Colorado’s secondary. The Buffs’ pass rush gets a jolt from Monmouth’s Lamont Lester, a breakout FCS star with nine sacks last season, while Bowling Green linebacker Gideon Lempron—last year’s only FBS player with 100 tackles and 15 tackles for loss—brings a relentless edge to run defense. SEC-tested Texas transfer Liona Lefau joins him to form one of the Big 12’s most imposing linebacker tandems, shoring up a once-porous front seven.  In the trenches, Santana Hopper arrives as one of portal’s top defensive tackle additions after racking up 39 QB pressures at Tulane. Meanwhile, Richard Young (Alabama) and DeAndre Moore (Texas) headline an explosive offensive infusion: Young steps into a wide-open backfield with untapped potential, while Moore’s physical playmaking and all-out hustle could make him the 1B answer Colorado lacked last season.  Versatility reigns supreme with Boo Carter, a game-breaking athlete from Tennessee poised to play every position in the secondary—and maybe even more. And as the Go Go offense takes flight under Brennan Marion, Danny Scudero (last year’s national receiving yards leader) could become a human joystick in Colorado’s reimagined aerial attack, already displaying instant chemistry with quarterback Julian Lewis. With an overhauled roster and defensive reinforcements, the stakes escalate for Sanders and the Buffs. Can these 10 difference-makers power Colorado to Big 12 contention and national relevance? Momentum is building in Boulder—get ready for a program-defining season as the Buffaloes’ newest stars take the field.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Colorado storms into SEC territory and upends expectations, flipping top prospects like three-star tackle Cordero McDaniel from Ole Miss and adding high-upside playmakers such as pass rusher Drew Sapp out of Florida. With five offensive linemen already locked in, family ties to stars like Aqib Talib, and a national footprint spanning Texas, Florida, and Alabama, Coach Prime and staff are rewriting the Buffaloes’ recruiting script and targeting program-defining positions for long-term growth.  Despite these recruiting fireworks, oddsmakers peg Colorado at the bottom of the Big 12 with a four-and-a-half win total, fueling skepticism around the program’s 2024 potential. Yet, a closer look at the schedule reveals a host of coin-flip matchups and toss-up games against Baylor, Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Cincinnati, and more, prompting confidence that the Buffs can easily clear Vegas’ low bar 00:12:01.  Kevin Borba breaks down the three pivotal reasons Colorado’s turnaround is legit: Brennan Marion’s proven, high-octane offense that should unleash more versatile weaponry and exceed 30 points per game; a complete culture reset focused on leadership, accountability, and gritty transfer portal additions; and a retooled, deeper defensive line poised to plug last year’s run-stopping woes 00:17:47. Whether it’s new captain-caliber leaders or under-the-radar impact transfers like Danny Scudero, Colorado’s path is clear—fix the lines, build a mindset, and let the explosiveness speak for itself. Are the Buffaloes being overlooked in the new-look Big 12? Is a six- or seven-win season within reach? Kevin Borba isn’t shying away from bold predictions, laying out exactly why this could be Coach Prime’s breakout campaign. Get the inside scoop on key recruits, schedule analysis, and what it’ll take for Colorado to silence the doubters and ignite a bowl season in Boulder.

Colorado faces a high-stakes quarterback crossroads as Julian Lewis lands in CBS Sports’ “high ceiling, low floor” tier. Will Lewis’s raw talent and flashes from last season finally translate into week-to-week consistency, or does his volatility threaten to stall the Go Go offense’s potential? The pressure is on for the former five-star and Colorado’s staff, with Isaac Wilson lurking as a capable alternative and no clear starter crowned ahead of a defining Big 12 campaign.  Recruiting momentum hits fever pitch as blue-chip prospects and high-profile visitors descend upon Boulder for one of Colorado’s most critical weekends yet. Rashad Rich works overtime to flip the script on elite edge rusher James Pace, while other top targets recalibrate plans, leaving Buffs fans monitoring every commitment rumor and unexpected visit. Key battles for offensive line, linebacker, and receiver talent could reshape Colorado’s future depth and balance between traditional recruiting and portal prowess. Is this the weekend Coach Prime’s staff delivers a recruiting coup that signals a new era? Kevin Borba analyzes the kicking situation with an optimistic twist—can highly-touted Elliott Arnold finally give the Buffs reliable range, or will last year’s struggles bite again? Colorado’s special teams stability hangs in the balance as transfer departures and spring standouts set the table for a new era at kicker. So—will Julian Lewis seize his moment, can Colorado cap an epic recruiting stretch, and is special teams finally a strength? The stakes couldn’t be higher as the Buffs look to turn high-profile risks into program-shifting rewards.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootballcoach  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The spotlight turns to Sanders’ adaptability, staff overhauls, and a bold shift in transfer portal philosophy—can Coach Prime silence the doubters and drive Colorado back to relevance?  Kevin Borba digs into the latest Sporting News coaching ranks, breaking down why Sanders dropped, the impact of last year’s injuries, and whether a new approach—notably the addition of Brenden Marion—can reignite the Buffs’ trajectory. The Big 12 power rankings spark debate as Colorado is pegged near the bottom, putting enormous pressure on QB Julian Lewis and an unproven offense to deliver in 2026. With Sanders’ legacy and the Buffs’ future hanging in the balance, this episode explores the high-stakes decisions, key transfer additions, and leadership changes set to define the coming season.

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?

Texas Tech faces national backlash after quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s suspension is reduced to just two games following NCAA gambling violations. Rival schools, including Nebraska and Georgia, threaten to pull out of future matchups, while debate rages over league commissioner Brett Yormark’s power to intervene. The Big 12’s reputation, integrity, and potential for a new villain take center stage as some argue Tech is simply getting the SEC-style favoritism others have enjoyed for years. The Big 12 Squad breaks down the legal maneuvering, what this precedent means for player discipline, and whether Sorsby’s return shifts the balance of power in the conference. Can Texas Tech silence the critics and turn controversy into a College Football Playoff run? Plus, West Virginia’s Omaha chances ignite talk of regional rivalries and fan support. Is the Big 12 ready for a new national narrative—or scandal? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Coach Prime turns up the heat on the recruiting trail as Colorado lands five commitments in one weekend, pushing their 2025 recruiting class into the national top 40. Eyes are on SEC country with targets like Drew Sapp, a dominant edge rusher out of Florida, and running back Kylan Bobo from Mississippi—both poised to make instant impacts and reshape the Buffs’ physicality up front. As the staff racks up out-of-state wins and prepares for a dozen more official visitors, watch for Colorado’s class to surge into the top 25 if momentum holds. But not everyone’s buying the hype. ESPN drops Colorado to No. 57 in its future power rankings, citing persistent doubts about quarterback Julian Lewis’s development and weak line play on both sides of the ball. Still, Kevin Borba isn’t convinced—he lauds new OC Brennan Marion’s innovation, expects star power from transfers like Daniel Scudero, and argues this underrated Colorado roster and staff are built to exceed low expectations. With the Buffs doubted at every turn, can they recapture their surprise magic and silence the skeptics once more? College football’s broader turmoil takes center stage as Kevin Borba torches the NCAA and court system for the controversial reinstatement of Texas Tech QB Brennan Sorsby, who returns to play despite a betting scandal that left most of the CFB world “stunned” and outraged. With conference ADs debating whether to boycott Texas Tech and landmark rulings undermining the NCAA’s authority, the sport faces a pivotal crossroads. Will the Big 12 take a stand? And can college football’s core values survive a governance meltdown? Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes just made a seismic statement on the recruiting trail, landing five commits in a single weekend and vaulting their 2025 class into national relevance. With recruiting momentum only building and more commitments expected soon, Colorado isn’t just reloading—they’re redefining expectations in Boulder. Kevin Borba details Coach Prime’s relentless push, breaking down the impressive haul: from 300-pound offensive linemen poised to reshape the trenches to playmaking defensive backs and an underrated Florida running back who’s racking up SEC-caliber offers. As the Buffaloes soar to 14 commitments—well ahead of last year’s pace—the focus on recruits’ growth and development stands out, setting the stage for future success.  Despite the star-rating chatter, Colorado’s staff is betting on projection and upside, targeting prospects with breakout potential and the grit to thrive under Sanders. Key takeaways include Colorado’s nationwide reach—stacking talent from Florida, Alabama, Maryland, and beyond—and an aggressive approach to fortifying last year’s weakest spots along the offensive line and in the secondary. The influx of visitors this week highlights a clear trend: the Buffs are doubling down on linebackers, pass rushers, and versatile athletes willing to buy into a new team culture. With the transfer portal strategy shifting toward a more sustainable recruiting foundation, Colorado is making it clear: they’re building for the long haul, stacking depth, and creating a culture where recruits want to be Buffs for life—not just hired guns for one season.  As Coach Prime “comes for everybody,” the rest of the Big 12 and college football take notice: Colorado’s days as a recruiting pushover are over. Will Colorado cash in on this unprecedented recruiting surge and turn promise into production this fall? The message is clear—Coach Prime is coming, and the Buffaloes are ready to shake up the college football landscape.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Colorado football eyes SEC country for major recruiting win as Coach Prime makes bold roster moves. With Deion Sanders targeting top Mississippi running back Kylan Bobo, the Buffs are primed to out-recruit SEC powerhouses and invest big in high-school talent—even as the transfer portal remains a major pipeline. Bobo’s blend of SEC attention, explosive stats, and fit for the Go-Go offense signals a new era in Boulder, where roster culture and depth are finally front and center. Kevin Borba lays out why landing Bobo would be a signature move, underscoring Colorado’s shift toward multi-year contributors and national recruiting reach.  The episode also delivers bold predictions for the 2024 season: a thousand-yard rusher finally emerging, a headline-making top-25 upset, two defenders posting five-plus sacks, and Boo Carter blossoming into an all-Big 12 star. With returning players like Decayn “Trackhawk” Taylor, Joseph Williams, and Quincy Wiggins poised to break out, are the Buffs finally set to blend dynamic newcomers with homegrown talent and take the next step?  As Coach Prime ‘leans forward’ in recruiting battles and buys into offensive coordinator Brennan Marion’s Go-Go system, the stakes for culture, development, and on-field results have never been higher in Boulder. Will this renewed approach help the Buffs rewrite their story in the Big 12—and deliver the breakthrough Colorado fans have craved?

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders goes all-in on playoff expansion, joining unanimous Big 12 calls to grow the field from 12 to 24—a move that could transform the Buffaloes’ postseason fortunes and flood the conference with revenue. But does a bigger playoff truly elevate the sport, or does it sap the regular season’s drama and set the stage for lopsided matchups? The debate heats up as playoff dollars, recruiting impact, and player motivation take center stage heading into the summer. Kevin Borba dives deep into the expansion dilemma, laying out why it could mean windfall earnings for the Big 12, expanded recruiting reach, and more programs battling for the national spotlight 00:01:32. Yet, traditions are on the line, as concerns mount over diluted regular-season stakes and an ever-longer college football calendar colliding with transfer portal chaos 00:10:29. Can Coach Prime leverage this new era to put Colorado in perennial contention—or does the expanded bracket simply invite more scrutiny and blowouts?  On the recruiting trail, Colorado is riding one of the nation’s hottest streaks, already netting nine commits before mid-June. Still, not even Sanders’ momentum is immune to setbacks, with key targets like Jaden Bryant and Jaquan Rogers opting elsewhere at the last minute, underscoring the razor-thin margins in high-stakes recruitment 00:16:06. Undeterred, the Buffs are relentless in their search for hidden gems and off-the-radar playmakers who could headline the next great class. With NIL dollars booming, the pressure index turns sky-high for Buffaloes drawing top-tier paychecks. Five players, led by big-money prospects Julian Lewis and Bo Hughley, face make-or-break expectations to justify record investments 00:21:55. Who’ll prove to be a bargain—and who risks falling short of their hype in the new-look Big 12?  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

As Colorado recalibrates expectations after a disappointing season, Kevin Borba lays out what truly defines success for Coach Prime by 2026: at minimum, a 6-6 regular season, bowl eligibility, and tangible on-field improvement. Sanders’ off-field impact—historic revenue, skyrocketing applications, brand resurgence—remains undeniable, but pressure mounts for the Buffs to convert buzz into wins, especially as the Big 12 landscape intensifies and whispers of a hot seat emerge if bowl games don’t materialize.  Colorado’s latest recruiting battle with Texas Tech underscores a brewing rivalry both on and off the field. After losing key defensive line prospect Kyron Haywood to the Red Raiders—and their much-discussed “Lubbock tax”—the Buffs are challenged to double down on their brand, leveraging Coach Prime’s celebrity and proven NIL power to keep pace in the high-stakes Texas talent pipeline. With Texas Tech’s spending making waves and expectations rising in Boulder, the forthcoming seasons promise a compelling arms race for talent and Big 12 supremacy.  Putting the persistent NFL rumors to bed, Kevin Borba reports Sanders’ unequivocal commitment to the college game and to Colorado, highlighting his mentorship and player-centric approach that’s incompatible with the professional ranks. Despite national chatter pushing Sanders toward bigger markets, the focus remains on building a new Colorado legacy—and resisting the urge to chase the next big stage. Will Colorado win—or even surpass—the six-game minimum and cement Prime’s tenure? Can the Buffs rise as a signature Big 12 brand and overcome moneyed rivals like Texas Tech? As 2026 approaches, all eyes are on Boulder for answers.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Amidst a heated offseason, Kevin Borba details how Texas Tech’s NIL-fueled recruiting surge has made them Colorado’s top Big 12 adversary. With oil money flowing and high-profile alumni like Patrick Mahomes in the mix, the Red Raiders keep landing blue-chip commits—forcing the Buffs into a high-stakes brand-and-culture matchup to recruit top talent. The episode turns to the future: Can Colorado’s momentum, anchored by Coach Prime and a revamped high school recruiting focus, topple Texas Tech’s deep pockets? Kevin Borba digs into the strategic arms race, the “Lubbock tax,” and how Boulder’s national TV spotlight and star NIL deals (cue Shadeur and Travis) can keep the Buffs in the race for Big 12 supremacy. Spotlight on the quarterback room:  With 2026 looming, all eyes are on Julian Lewis. Will this potential phenom live up to the hype and seize QB1, or is Isaac Wilson a sleeper threat? Kevin Borba unpacks the developing camp battle, what Lewis must do to win over the locker room, and how his readiness could define Colorado’s bowl hopes in a brutal opening month. ESPN’s newcomer rankings offer a reason for Buffs fans to celebrate: wide receiver Danny Scudero (always open, Julian Edelman vibes) and linebacker Gideon Lampron (instinctive tackling machine) break the top 100, signaling upgrades at two key positions. Are these transfers the building blocks for a turnaround, or will depth issues linger? From recruiting heartbreaks to quarterback uncertainties, this episode is a must-listen for Buff Nation tracking every chess move in the Deion Sanders era.

Colorado football faces a late recruiting twist as Joseph Peko, son of ex-defensive line coach Domata Peko, flips to Washington after months of uncertainty and pointed comments about instability in Boulder. With Peko gone and his father moving to the NFL, questions around coaching staff cohesion and player development come to the forefront. Still, Kevin Borba insists the Buffs are undeterred, immediately reloading with top JUCO lineman Malachi Brown, and stacking depth among defensive tackles for the Big 12 grind.  Recruiting optimism runs high as Kevin Borba details a newfound South Carolina pipeline, spotlighting blue-chip targets like Amari Patterson, Joshua Dobson, and Jaiden Bryant—a top-20 national recruit currently committed to LSU. Led by energetic recruiter Jaiden Kelly Murray, Colorado aggressively pursues playmakers on both sides of the ball and isn’t backing down from SEC and Big Ten competition, signaling a new era of high school talent acquisition to complement Coach Prime’s signature transfer strategy. But the intrigue doesn’t stop there.  With Texas Tech’s presumed star quarterback Brendan Sorsby ruled ineligible over a betting scandal, Kevin Borba breaks down how the Big 12 race has suddenly opened up. Can Colorado take advantage of a weakened Texas Tech when they clash in week five? With the Buffs’ schedule front-loaded with tough road games but now facing a vulnerable Red Raiders roster, the stage is set for Colorado to make real noise—if quarterback Julian Lewis or another new face can deliver under pressure. Will the Buffs capitalize on recruiting momentum, overcome offseason drama, and seize their moment in the Big 12 spotlight? Kevin Borba says all eyes are on Boulder as Colorado looks to rewrite the narrative, fueled by fresh talent and new opportunities on the horizon.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Deion Sanders has flipped the Colorado recruiting script, spearheading a torrid run that’s netted the Buffs six commitments in six days. With Rashad Rich and Darius Starting Box leading a revamped staff, Colorado is putting in the work on the high school trail, landing blue-chip talent from across the country and making national TV exposure count. Can Coach Prime’s pivot from a transfer portal-heavy approach to high school recruiting catapult Colorado into Big 12 and national relevance? Kevin Borba and Brian Smith dive deep, detailing how Colorado’s national reach is reshaping its roster—pulling prospects from Tennessee, Alabama, Pennsylvania, and beyond. They examine the art of blending high school recruiting with surgical use of the transfer portal, why trenches still rule team-building, and what lessons Colorado can draw from powers like Ohio State and Georgia. With NIL implications, culture-building challenges, and Deion’s calculated course correction all on the table, this episode weighs how soon the Buffs can contend—and what it’ll take to close the gap at the top.  Recruit breakdowns are on deck: Brian Smith spotlights versatile defensive commitment Gabe Jenkins, electric slot receiver Jaden Kelly Murray, unheralded corner Prince Washington out of Texas, and blue-chip pass rusher Bayron Willis, with takes on their upside and fit. Plus, the Buffs’ next recruiting targets—including standout running backs Kylan Bobo and Marquis Fennell—are analyzed for immediate impact and recruitment odds. Will Deion’s new blueprint propel Colorado back to national significance? Can the Buffs blend portal speed with high school sustainability and finally build a winner in Boulder? This episode unpacks Colorado’s big bets, names to watch, and the blueprint for a true Prime Era in college football.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Colorado football is making major noise as they position themselves to break through in the Big 12. Six commits in six days, a top 25 recruiting effort brewing, and a new-look coaching staff have ignited hope that the Buffaloes can not just contend, but potentially take over the conference. With Coach Prime’s recruiting powers putting Colorado in elite company, the focus is on elevating roster talent, building culture, and targeting the playoff. Can the Buffs back up the hype and become the Big 12’s new powerhouse?  Kevin Borba dives deep into the critical position battles defining Colorado’s off-season. On offense, all eyes are on the retooled offensive line and crowded running back room, where new transfer additions like Demetrius Hunter, Bo Huley, and Richard Young are set to shake up the depth chart. The key? Balancing the attack to take the pressure off Julian Lewis and finally fix a run game that stalled last year. Defensively, edge rushers like Lamont Lester headline a reworked unit aiming to return to the Big 12’s sack leaders, while a wide-open cornerback battle will determine if the Buffs can hold up in coverage. Is Coach Prime’s mix of high school recruiting and transfer portal magic finally the winning formula? Will the new staff maximize the influx of fresh talent and fix last year’s weaknesses on both lines?  Locked On Buffs covers the must-watch camp competitions, previews who could break out, and explains why this could be the year Colorado joins the Big 12 elite. Could the Buffs take the leap from rebuilding to conference contender and keep their playoff dream alive?

A simmering disconnect between Colorado football alumni and Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders continues to boil over, grabbing fresh headlines as another former Buff questions the program’s current direction. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith unpack Jayshon Sykes’ public grievances, the larger alumni rift, and whether repeated criticism is damaging Colorado’s image as Prime forges his own path.

Is Colorado finally moving away from “roster flipping” toward long-term program stability?  Rounding out the show, Kevin Borba and Jay Smith react to candid assessments from anonymous Big 12 coaches in the Athlon preview. With universal praise for the staff’s coordinator hires and new offensive system, the buzz is building for a Buffs breakthrough—if the offensive line can finally keep Julian Lewis upright.
