Plus, a heated look at BYU and Baylor’s struggles on the baseball diamond, Oklahoma State’s home run barrage, and West Virginia’s dominance after sweeping Kansas. Is RedBird Capital’s involvement a missed opportunity or a warning sign? Get the full breakdown on NIL, TV revenue stakes, and the future of Big 12 power plays.

The Colorado Buffaloes’ wide receiver group is stacked with talent, but all eyes are on Ernest Campbell, the track star transfer from Sac State, whose chemistry with new OC Brennan Marion could set the Big 12 on fire. Can Campbell’s blistering speed and deep-threat ability force his way into a loaded rotation? With other standout additions like Daniel Scudero, Kevin Borba and Zach McKinnell debate how Marion will juggle playmakers and why size won’t limit Colorado’s offensive pop this season.  The conversation shifts to the defensive rebuild as they spotlight Paul Amodia, the Lamar transfer touted as one of the FCS’s top defensive backs. Will Amodia’s experience and physicality lock down a key role in a retooled secondary fighting for starting spots? Kevin Borba and Zach McKinnell take a step back to dissect the Coach Prime experiment at Colorado—why did instant success at Jackson State fail to translate seamlessly to Boulder? The duo dives into roster turnover, the value of elite college QBs, and the missing ingredient of player development in the trenches. As the Buffs add seasoned FCS and G5 standouts, is this the recipe for consistent winning in the new-look Big 12? Don’t miss their insights on what it will take for Colorado—and Coach Prime—to finally flip the script and become contenders.  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's youth movement charges forward as several freshmen line up for early playing time, highlighted by Mojo Williams’ playmaking spring and Preston Ashley’s leadership nod. Kevin Borba and Jack Carlough analyze which newcomers have the best shot at crashing the starting lineup, why Coach Prime’s commitment to practice performance means walk-ons and true freshmen alike could see the field, and how depth at linebacker and offensive line could shape the season’s outlook.  The discussion also spotlights a shift in Buffs recruiting strategy. With more early offers nationwide and staff hitting the road from Texas to the East Coast, Jack Carlo explains why 2028’s class could set a new standard for early commitments in the Coach Prime era, and how the transfer portal continues to influence roster construction. What does this new approach mean for high school prospects versus transfer additions? Looking ahead, Kevin Borba and Jack Carlough tackle pressing questions for Colorado:  Can the Buffs solidify depth on the defensive line? Will the offensive line finally show the needed improvement? And is this the year a dynamic backfield emerges? With Juju Lewis poised to seize QB1 and competition wide open at multiple spots, this episode explores the factors that could make or break Colorado’s Big 12 campaign — and why patience, player development, and off-field recruiting hustle are all under the microscope in Boulder.  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.

The Colorado Buffaloes’ offseason drama heats up as alumni public backlash intensifies against Deion Sanders and the current staff’s “closed door” approach. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith dissect the fallout from Lawrence Vickers' outspoken criticism and explore whether old-school Buffs can coexist with the Prime era. With alumni relations strained and viral headlines swirling, the hosts debate if any olive branches or simple fixes could heal this growing rift before it further distracts from the on-field agenda.  But that’s not Colorado’s only hurdle. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith shift focus to the program’s true problems—and potential. As the Buffs prepare for a critical season, trench play, defensive transformation under Coach Marv, and the quest for an identity beyond Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter dominate the conversation. Can new OC Brennan Marion’s “Go-Go” offense and a wave of seasoned transfers spark a breakthrough in Year Four? The hosts examine whether roster overhaul and strategic hires will drive a resurgence or set up a November reckoning. Is Colorado a surprise contender—or poised for more turbulence? Kevin Borba and Jay Smith boldly forecast a minimum six-win target, highlight the X-factors on both sides of the ball, and set the stakes for what could be a defining season in Boulder. Will Coach Prime silence the doubters, resolve alumni unrest, and spark genuine Buffaloes swagger—or is more change looming 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.  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.

The Colorado Buffaloes may have one of the nation’s best-kept secrets at tight end in Zach Atkins, but last season’s offensive game plan kept his talents under wraps. With Brendan Marion now calling the shots and the Go-Go offense known for highlighting tight ends, Atkins is widely expected to finally showcase his elite athleticism and playmaking ability in 2026. Can he seize the opportunity and transform Colorado’s passing attack? Kevin Borba dives into why Atkins—who transferred from Northwest Missouri State and chose CU over SEC offers—could become a household name if featured properly. After minimal targets in a dysfunctional 2023 offense, Atkins now has a chance to rival previous Marion-coached NFL tight ends as a dynamic threat and safety valve for young quarterback Julian Lewis. With past Go-Go standouts producing big red zone numbers, Atkins’ combination of size, speed, and catch radius sets the stage for a true breakout. But what about the tight end depth behind him?  Kevin Borba candidly assesses Colorado’s options, highlighting the lack of proven contributors in the group. New arrivals like Fisher Clements, a 6-7 transfer from Northern Colorado, could emerge as blocking options or situational red zone mismatches, while former blue-chippers Corbin Laser and Zane D’Souza round out a thin and unproven room. Injuries could quickly test the Buffs’ makeshift rotation, meaning a portal addition remains on the table as a priority. Will Colorado finally unleash its top tight end talent and add a new wrinkle to their offense? The stage is set for Zach Atkins to headline the Buffaloes’ aerial attack in 2026, but the supporting cast and the program’s ability to bolster depth will be crucial factors in sustaining success as they charge into Big 12 play.  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’s 2026 football schedule has fans circling one matchup as the ultimate trap game: a tricky Week 3 trip to Northwestern. With Chip Kelly calling plays and a surging Wildcats roster that returns 27 experienced contributors, could this overlooked Big Ten road game derail Coach Prime’s high-pressure season before it starts? Kevin Borba lays out how a slip-up in Evanston might spark a dreaded September avalanche, especially with bruising showdowns against Texas Tech, Utah, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State looming in October. Plus, which transfer portal additions must step up for Colorado to turn the corner? Kevin Borba names the four newcomers who “have to be stars” in Boulder: linebacker Gideon Lampron (run-stopper extraordinaire), bruising backs Richard Young and Damien Henderson, and disruptive pass rusher Toby Nnanna from North Dakota State. Without breakout seasons from these transfers, Colorado risks a repeat of last year’s struggles against the run and inconsistent offense. In a candid look at roster turnover, Kevin Borba also ranks the three biggest portal losses: wideout Omarion Miller, cornerstone tackle Jordan Seaton (lured by an SEC bag), and culture-carrying linebacker TaFeek Bayard. Which departure stings the most—and can Colorado’s revamped locker room make up the difference? With Coach Prime’s Buffs aiming to silence doubters and toughen up in the trenches, this episode breaks down Colorado’s biggest potholes, potential breakout stars, and just how fragile the 2026 campaign could be if early missteps snowball. Is Northwestern a looming disaster, or a confidence-launching win for this new-look squad?     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.

The Colorado Buffaloes and several Big 12 peers turn down a massive $30 million credit line offer, choosing financial discipline over instant spending in a rapidly changing college football landscape. Why did Colorado pass on this high-stakes deal—despite reporting a $27 million deficit? Kevin Borba unpacks the Buffs’ rationale, including the Coach Prime effect, new AD Fernando Lovo’s fundraising incentives, and why paying steep 10% interest isn’t the answer right now.  Turning to the field, ESPN’s fresh Big 12 power rankings shake up expectations, placing Colorado at No. 9. Kevin Borba breaks down where the Buffs landed, why Brendan Marion’s arrival could turbocharge the offense, and which teams could be reshuffled amid the conference’s unpredictable parity. Is Colorado underrated, or right where they belong? With questions around turnover, coaching changes, and a “wide open” Big 12 race, Kevin Borba explains how the Buffs are being overlooked—and how chaos could erupt from teams 6 through 16. Can Colorado climb higher in the pecking order by season’s end? And does bypassing quick cash set up long-term success in Boulder? Find out why patience and strategic moves off the field could be just as crucial as on-field results for the Buffs—and why the Big 12 might be more competitive than ever.  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.

Big 12 powerhouses rethink private equity as BYU and Houston reject RedBird Capital’s $30 million offer—could financial strategy shape the new conference elite? The Big 12 Squad dissects what BYU’s debt-averse philosophy means for their future, why Houston’s leadership is pressing pause, and whether Oklahoma State or Iowa State are positioned to take the risk, aiming to leap ahead in the evolving college sports arms race. Key segments explore how this RedBird deal differs from Utah’s approach, implications for NIL and facility upgrades, and the brewing ACC vs. Big 12 rivalry for Power Three status.

Despite an aggressive and headline-grabbing offseason, the Colorado Buffaloes find themselves ranked among the nation’s bottom Power 4 teams, coming in at No. 107 in USA Today’s FBS poll. Is this a fair reflection of the program under Coach Prime, or does it ignore the influx of talent and staff changes made in Boulder? Roster turnover, new coordinators, and Big 12 parity put Colorado’s consistency and long-term sustainability under the microscope—leaving Coach Prime with plenty to prove to media, fans, and recruits eager for results. Kevin Borba dives into the rankings controversy, the absence of “benefit of the doubt” for the Buffs, and why national skepticism persists despite a star-studded transfer class and a revamped coaching staff. Can Colorado overcome last year’s instability, relentless roster changes, and a daunting Big 12 schedule?  With trench play concerns and skepticism at an all-time high, Kevin Borba dissects the reasons behind the pessimism—but also breaks down why the doubters could be in for a shock. From the promise of the Go-Go offense under Brennan Marion to the leadership of five-star quarterback Julian Lewis and a new college-focused coaching staff, hope remains that Colorado can recapture magic and shake up the Big 12 hierarchy. Will this year’s team be dismissed as just another “enigma,” or is a major turnaround—and national respect—just 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.

With Damian Henderson quietly flying under the radar, the Colorado Buffaloes' running back competition is heating up just in time for the season. Could the Sacramento State transfer’s blend of size, speed, and big-play ability unseat more familiar names like Richard Young and Decayin Taylor? Kevin Borba urges Buffs fans not to overlook Henderson, whose spring game heroics and impressive Sac State production signal a possible breakout campaign. Roster shakeups and new faces create uncertainty—and opportunity. Kevin Borba highlights wild card threats like Jaquel Smith, another Sac State transfer with game-breaking speed, and incoming freshman Cam Newton, a Texas phenom boasting back-to-back 2,000-yard rushing seasons. Will Coach Prime and OC Brennan Marion finally unleash a dynamic Colorado ground game?  As Kevin Borba argues, changes in play calling and a new batch of hungry backs could see this group maximize their touches and change the Buffs’ offensive identity.  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.

Despite ESPN rating Colorado’s offseason as turbulent, Kevin Borba argues the opposite: an intentional roster overhaul has the Buffaloes primed for success in the new-look Big 12. Were mass departures a crisis—or simply Coach Prime’s calculated shake-up for a hungrier, more unified locker room? Kevin Borba breaks down ESPN’s critique, highlighting the high-profile transfer exits, including Jordan Seaton and Tafique Bayard, and details why many losses were addition by subtraction.  Citing a culture shift, Kevin Borba emphasizes that last year’s squad lacked buy-in and leadership—key reasons for the turnover and the influx of team captains and driven Group of 5 standouts via the portal. On the positive side, the episode spotlights the hiring of Brennan Marion as potentially the top coordinator move in college football. Kevin Borba lays out Marion’s track record of electric offenses, the revamped and more balanced receiver corps, and how JUJU Lewis could become a breakout star under Marion’s guidance. The defensive front is restocked and, while the secondary remains a work in progress, overall depth and attitude have improved.  Recruiting ramps up as the Buffaloes target high-upside prospects like Fui Vacapuna out of Utah and Sheldon Isaac from Mississippi, revealing a new level of staff engagement under Coach Box and Brennan Marion. Kevin Borba underscores the long-term strategy—developing prep recruits to avoid complete overhauls through the portal each year and to sustain success. Can Colorado’s bold offseason reset and fresh leadership propel them beyond ESPN’s No. 9 Big 12 ranking—and make a run at bowl eligibility or more? The Buffs’ rebuilt foundation and recruiting push may be just what Boulder needs to rewrite expectations for 2024 and set up sustained program momentum.  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’s recruiting landscape faces scrutiny as No. 1 in-state prospect Jackson Roper calls out Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes for overlooking homegrown talent. Despite interest from blue-chip programs, Roper, now a UCLA commit, claims Colorado lags in cultivating in-state relationships—a trend continuing as top local recruits opt for destinations like Washington, Notre Dame, and Arizona State. Kevin Borba unpacks the deeper challenge: why has Colorado historically struggled to keep its own stars, and can the Buffs improve under Coach Prime’s new regime? With a traditionally thin talent pool and fierce out-of-state competition, Kevin Borba questions whether prioritizing local prospects is feasible, or if the coaching staff’s focus on fertile recruiting grounds in the South is the smarter play. This episode delivers honest perspective on the Roper situation, the Buffs’ attempts to build depth, and whether changes in player personnel will finally allow Colorado to breakthrough in high school recruiting.  Plus, burning questions for the 2026 season: Will the offensive line finally turn the corner? Can defensive coordinator Chris Marv exert real influence, or will Coach Prime continue to call the shots?  In the midst of these in-state recruiting battles, Colorado targets four-star running back Carter Hansen from California, signaling renewed recruiting energy under Brennan Marion. Kevin Borba explores whether building stronger, earlier relationships can reverse past recruiting missteps and discusses why nurturing prospects from freshman year is as crucial as any on-field adjustment. With a fresh staff, new recruiting priorities, and local prospects voicing frustration, it’s a pivotal moment for Deion Sanders and Colorado football. Can the Buffs finally lock down their backyard—or will elite Colorado talent keep slipping away? This episode dives into the stakes, the strategy, and what must change for the Buffs to compete with college football’s recruiting elite.

Colorado’s offense is stacked with transfers, but DeAndre Moore could be the secret weapon that powers the Buffaloes’ receiving corps in 2026. Is Moore—an electric Texas transfer and former four-star out of St. John Bosco—about to break out in Boulder’s high-octane attack under Coach Prime? Kevin Borba spotlights Moore as Colorado’s ultimate under-the-radar playmaker, recounting CU’s knack for turning overlooked receivers into stars and reminding listeners how Moore’s opportunities were limited at talent-rich Texas. Despite the hype around newcomers like Danny Scudero—college football’s national receiving leader—and the infectious energy from guys like Joseph Williams and Quinn Gibson, Moore’s ceiling may be higher than any of them if he’s healthy and featured.  The segment explores Moore’s big-game production (think SEC championship clutch catches), how Kevin Borba expects coordinator Brennan Marion to finally unleash Moore’s open-field elusiveness, and what needs to change to keep him involved week-in, week-out. Injuries kept Moore on the sidelines all spring, quietly dropping him out of the conversation, but Kevin Borba makes the case for Moore to emerge as a top target or even a future NFL draft pick if he maximizes this make-or-break season. Will Moore’s combination of route-running, blocking, and after-the-catch explosiveness finally get the showcase it deserves in Colorado’s offense—and could he turn a sleeper year into professional payday? The countdown to the Buffs’ 2026 campaign is on, and Moore is the X-factor no defense should overlook.  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.

As 2026 approaches, Kevin Borba highlights four Colorado Buffaloes poised for breakout seasons—three on offense, one on defense—each with the talent to become difference-makers if they reach their potential. With a revamped roster and questions swirling about who will step up, competition is fierce as the Buffs aim to turn flashes of promise into consistent production. Kevin Borba spotlights offensive line anchor Larry Johnson, versatile transfer Boo Carter, physical running back Richard Young, and quarterback Julian Lewis as key leap candidates, each facing pressure to secure starting roles and fulfill the considerable expectations in Boulder.  Recruiting takes center stage as well, with the Buffs battling blueblood programs for prized prospects like Isaiah Alvarez while also feeling the sting from losing top local talent such as Jackson Roper to national powers.  In NFL news, Kevin Borba unpacks the drama surrounding Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback race, where Deshaun Watson’s uncertain status opens the door for Sanders. Off-field headlines flare as Shiloh Sanders defends his brother amid local media scrutiny, underscoring the intense spotlight on the Sanders family. Can Colorado’s leap candidates seize their moment and change the program's trajectory? Will the Buffs’ recruiting momentum translate to on-field results, or will key misses and in-state losses haunt them? And can Shador Sanders overcome the noise to earn his NFL shot?  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.

Kevin Borba dissects a transformed running back room, from established returners like Michael Welch and speedster Decaylan “Trackhawk” Taylor to blue-chip transfer Richard Young and Sac State’s own Damian Henderson. The buzz: Brendan Marion’s run-heavy offensive philosophy could finally resurrect a ground game that’s been missing for years, offering a chance for any back to emerge as a 1,200-yard workhorse. Who will seize the spotlight and offset the pressure on new quarterback Julian Lewis? But the real drama may lie in the trench war up front, where the offensive line must be rebuilt—again. With only one possible returning starter and a bevy of transfers (think: Georgia’s Bo Huley, Cal’s Leon Bell, and Rutgers’ Taj White), Kevin Borba warns that this unit’s chemistry is the pivot point for Colorado’s season. Can coach Marion’s flexible, “Go Go” offense work magic regardless of talent on the line, or will protection woes linger and cap the Buffs’ ceiling yet again? From unsung position duels to scheme fits and physicality questions, Kevin Borba sets up the storylines that will define Colorado football’s return to relevance. Will these renewed battles spark improvement and carry the program forward, or repeat past struggles in the trenches and backfield? The fall answers start now.

As the pivotal month of October approaches, Kevin Borba spotlights the decisive stretch that could make—or break—Colorado’s 2026 campaign. With a treacherous road slate at Georgia Tech, Northwestern, and Baylor early on, Colorado will need to maintain momentum as they enter a daunting October string: Texas Tech, Utah, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State. “If that doesn’t go well, people will lose jobs and players will be benched,”  Borba underscoring the sky-high stakes. Roster depth remains a prominent concern as Kevin Borba breaks down defensive line woes from last year and profiles a trio of transfer and JUCO targets—De Varic Woods, Jalen Harris, and Malachi Brown—that could fortify the trenches. On the draft front, CBS Sports named only two draftable Buffs, but Kevin Borba makes a strong case for additional prospects like DeAndre Moore, Joseph Williams, and Zach Atkins to emerge this season with NFL potential. Will Coach Prime’s squad shake their pattern of faltering momentum, or will another October swoon derail bowl hopes? With every game potentially against a ranked opponent from early October through mid-November, Colorado’s bowl bid hinges on surviving—and thriving—in this make-or-break stretch. Can the Buffs weather the gauntlet and rebuild their national buzz, or will another midseason slide bring more questions than answers?

Colorado Buffaloes look to strengthen their roster ahead of the new season by seeking hidden gems in the transfer portal, with the defensive line emerging as a critical need after last year’s struggle to stop the run. Can Colorado’s latest transfer targets bring much-needed physicality and depth to a thin defensive front? Kevin Borba dives deep into Colorado’s transfer strategy, highlighting the pursuit of D2 standout Jaylen Harris from Central Missouri and Texas State’s Devarrick Woods, both poised to add veteran presence and bolster a front that surrendered 222.5 rushing yards per game—ranking 132nd nationally. With previous portal pickup Ezra Christensen still facing eligibility questions and depth concerns growing, the pressure is on for the Buffs to land experienced reinforcements.  The show expands to address other pressing needs: linebacker depth—where only six scholarship players are on the roster, split between upperclassmen and unproven freshmen—tight end options, and even secondary help at cornerback. Kevin Borba points out the necessity of grabbing more experienced bodies from the portal to ensure the roster can withstand injuries and the grind of the season, especially with no more spring portal to restock. Will Coach Prime and his staff secure the portal additions needed to transform Colorado’s defense and provide star quarterback Julian Lewis the weapons he needs on offense? With transfer windows closing, the Buffs’ margin for error is slim, and every veteran pickup could make the difference in returning to Big 12 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.  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.

Texas Tech faces a major setback as star quarterback Brendan Sorsby is caught in a gambling controversy, casting doubt on his Big 12 future. Will Sorsby suit up this season, or has Tech’s shot at a championship vanished overnight? The squad unpacks how over a thousand wagers—many placed during Sorsby’s stints at Indiana and Cincinnati—sparked a full-blown crisis, igniting questions about competitive integrity, NCAA regulations, and the future of sports betting in college football. The Big 12 Squad debates whether institutional oversight failed, how Texas Tech might fight to keep Sorsby eligible, and if precedent from cases like Iowa State’s Hunter Dekkers offers Tech hope. With questions swirling around legal action, compliance systems, and evolving NCAA rules, the crew asks: Will sports betting become the next normalized aspect of college sports, or are even tougher restrictions inevitable?

Colorado’s hopes for a breakthrough in 2026 rest squarely on quarterback Julian Lewis, a former five-star recruit with sky-high expectations. But is Lewis the player who can ignite Deion Sanders’ regime and take the Buffaloes from bottom-dwellers to Big 12 contenders? Kevin Borba examines Lewis’s path: from a coveted recruit with offers from the country’s biggest programs, to a Buffs QB with a clear shot at the starting job. While national pundits have ranked Lewis outside college football’s elite, Kevin Borba highlights his flashes—like his deep touchdown against Arizona—and scrutinizes his inconsistent accuracy and difficulties under pressure, with passing percentages dipping notably when blitzed. The challenge is clear: development and consistency are imperative, especially given Colorado’s volatile roster overhaul and lack of established identity.  The episode digs deeper into roster construction, with Kevin Borba dissecting the shift away from transfer-heavy recruiting. He spotlights high-profile high school targets, such as Antonio Berry (OT), Travis Norris (OL), and Kam Roberson (DB), emphasizing the push to win tough SEC recruiting battles and build lasting pipelines at power programs like Duncanville and IMG Academy.  On the pro front, Kevin Borba unpacks the Browns’ quarterback room drama: Shador Sanders faces long odds to start Week 1 behind the big contract and pedigree of Deshaun Watson—even as new weapons arrive in Cleveland’s draft haul. Expect politics and paychecks to shape the opening depth chart, but if Watson falters, the door could swing open for Sanders midseason or trigger QB trades. Can Julian Lewis deliver the skill and steadiness to anchor Colorado? Will Coach Prime’s revamped recruiting and development unlock a new era in Boulder—or will inconsistency keep the Buffs mired in mediocrity? All eyes on the quarterback—and all bets off as a new season looms.  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 Colorado Buffaloes’ 2026 season comes into sharp focus as Kevin Borba spotlights four games the Buffs simply cannot afford to drop. From early must-wins like Weber State (a confidence builder and PR landmine) to high-stakes Big 12 battles with Baylor and Utah—plus a potentially season-defining finale versus UCF—each matchup carries outsized implications for bowl eligibility and program momentum. With Kevin Borba underscoring Colorado’s razor-thin margin for error, every “can’t lose” game could shape Coach Prime’s second act. In the second half, Kevin Borba pivots to the Buffs’ most intriguing wild cards at wide receiver and defensive back.  DeAndre Moore’s “wild card” potential as a possible WR1, plus game-breaking speedsters like Ernest Campbell, spark debate about who might redefine Colorado’s passing attack in 2026. On defense, versatile (and sometimes volatile) playmakers like Boo Carter bring both All-Big 12 upside and locker-room unpredictability, while emerging DBs like Jah Jah Boyd and Jason Stokes are flagged as pivotal wild cards that could stabilize—or shake up—the secondary.  Will the Buffaloes lock up their “can’t lose” contests and ride breakout stars to Big 12 relevancy? Kevin Borba breaks down the narratives, locker room chemistry, and shift in culture that will determine whether Colorado seizes—or squanders—its pivotal 2026 slate.  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’s recruiting momentum is surging as Kevin Borba highlights four-star quarterback Andre Adams — a dynamic Tennessee product with 7,000 career passing yards and unparalleled dual-threat ability — as the potential catalyst for a powerhouse Buffaloes recruiting class. As the prototype for Brennan Marion’s Go-Go offense, Adams brings both star appeal and leadership, already staking his claim as a vocal recruiting force aiming to assemble an electrifying offensive unit in Boulder.  Kevin Borba details Adams’ bold approach, revealing his targeted efforts to flip four-star Alabama tight end Colt Lumpris, lure Arizona track star and playmaker Jaden Baldwin, and sway versatile South Carolina receiver Jaiden Kelly-Murray. With an early, highly ranked leader at quarterback, Colorado is primed to ramp up its offensive recruiting and attract explosive talent that fits Marion’s wide-open philosophy.  The episode also dives into Colorado’s renewed push to keep in-state high school talent at home, the strategic use of NIL to land key prospects, and how Adams’ presence could inspire a wave of skill-position commits. Despite a class that currently stands at just three commits, Kevin Borba projects a recruiting uptick as visits increase — painting a picture of a Buffaloes program ready to turn the corner with Adams playing quarterback and recruiter-in-chief. Will Adams’ efforts vault Colorado’s 2025 class into national relevance and help sustain Deion Sanders’ Boulder rebuild? The roadmap for a new Super Offense is officially in motion.  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.

The offseason saga heats up as the fallout from Kaidon Salter’s departure spotlights exactly why Deion Sanders overhauled Colorado’s program. Salter’s public snub of the Buffs after landing a Titans minicamp invite drew sharp reaction—did both sides mishandle the breakup? Kevin Borba dives deep into the fractures of last year’s locker room, staff disconnect, and a lack of mental toughness that pushed Colorado to a crossroads.  With the Big 12 race facing fresh chaos after Texas Tech’s Brennan Sorsby teeters on a likely NCAA betting ban, Borba lays out how the quarterback turmoil could shake up the conference pecking order, and why Colorado’s chances to surprise may be on the rise.  Previewing the upcoming campaign, Borba circles the three toughest showdowns on the Buffs’ schedule—road hazards at Georgia Tech and Arizona State, plus a heavyweight home bout with Utah. With physical tests, secondary concerns, and the stakes sky-high coming out of a rocky 2023, can Colorado finally flip the script? Will revamped culture and sharper leadership spark a turnaround, or does another roller coaster await?  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.

Texas Tech’s Big 12 title hopes take a massive hit as star QB Brendan Sorsby enters rehab amid an NCAA gambling investigation linked to his time at Indiana. Facing possible permanent loss of eligibility after reportedly betting on college sports, Sorsby’s future is in doubt—leaving the Red Raiders scrambling and the Big 12 in chaos. Could Will Hammond’s recovery be enough, or will Texas Tech turn to unproven backups as they seek damage control and NCAA leniency?  Kevin Borba and Spencer McLaughlin break down the far-reaching consequences for Texas Tech, from roster shockwaves to how public transparency could soften NCAA punishment. They debate whether the Red Raiders can stay atop Big 12 rankings with a diminished QB room and examine how teams like Colorado might benefit from facing a weakened Texas Tech squad. With the Buffaloes’ opening gauntlet—Georgia Tech, Weber State, Northwestern, Baylor, and Texas Tech—looking brutal on paper, the sudden Texas Tech turmoil may provide a crucial lifeline. The hosts analyze backup options like Kirk Francis, the Tulsa transfer, and redshirt freshman Lloyd Jones, and argue that while the Red Raiders’ defense remains elite, the QB question dramatically narrows the gap in Boulder. Can Colorado exploit the opportunity and rewrite early season expectations? Will the Big 12 produce a new frontrunner as Texas Tech scrambles to steady the ship? This episode delivers all the drama, context, and high-stakes outlook as one gambler’s downfall rules the latest twist in the college football storylines.  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 Buffs fans are still buzzing after a rollercoaster NFL Draft weekend that saw several players earn their shot at the next level, despite none being selected. The spotlight, however, shifts to quarterback Kaidon Salter and the not-so-subtle signs of friction with Coach Prime—fueling social media speculation about posts, shout-outs, and perceived snubs. Kevin Borba dives deep into the Salter-Colorado saga, unpacking both sides of a partnership that just didn’t work out. With Salter thanking Liberty and Coach Freeze instead of Colorado, while the Buffs’ socials initially overlooked him, is this the amicable split both sides needed or a lingering beef ready to resurface? Kevin Borba lays out all the drama, likening it to a messy divorce—faults, regrets, and all.  The episode then runs through every Buff headed to rookie camps or signing undrafted free agent deals: Amari McNeil, Keaton Wade, Sincere Brown, Arden Walker, Preston Hodge, Xavier Hill, and more. Kevin Borba highlights each player’s journey, skills, and odds of sticking with their new NFL teams, emphasizing that for many, all it takes is getting a foot in the door.  Looking ahead, optimism is high for the 2027 draft class. Kevin Borba details why next year could see up to ten Buffs selected, spotlighting Boo Carter, Leon Laf, Gideon Lempron, and Zach Atkins among the most draftable talents. Expectations are sky-high—and Kevin Borba warns that if this revamped, hungry roster doesn’t produce pros or wins, tough questions about program direction are inevitable. Will this bittersweet NFL Draft serve as motivation for a breakthrough season in Boulder? Can Colorado rebound from disappointment and become a Big 12 contender loaded with Sunday players? Plus, which undrafted Buff has the best shot to make a roster, and who’s poised to be next year’s top pick?

Kevin Borba dives into the high-stakes world of Colorado football, putting the spotlight squarely on five-star freshman quarterback Julian Lewis. The Buffs’ offense, potential bowl dreams, and even a playoff run all hinge on Lewis’ ability to bring consistency and a game-breaking presence to Deion Sanders’ squad. Will Lewis be the next Shadeur Sanders—an unflappable field general—or will growing pains force the Buffs to pivot?  Breaking down the state of Colorado’s QB depth, Kevin Borba assesses transfer Isaac Wilson’s dual-threat upside, his journey from losing confidence at Utah to regaining swagger in Boulder, and how Canel Sweet Wine’s athleticism could provide a different dimension if called upon. Each quarterback has strengths: Lewis’ deep-ball precision, Wilson’s experience and mobility, and Sweetwyne's explosive running ability. The discussion also explores how Brennan Marion’s Go-Go offense is designed to maximize these talents, making the quarterback battle one of the most pivotal storylines for the Buffs’ future.  Can Colorado finally establish a seamless succession plan at QB, or will history repeat itself with instability after a star departs? With the best wide receiver group in the Big 12, offensive firepower is unquestioned. The question is: Can Lewis take the leap and keep Colorado in the playoff conversation—or will the Buffs’ fate fall to Wilson or Sweet Wine if adversity strikes? All eyes are on the quarterback room as Colorado aims for stability, high-octane offense, and a shot at rewriting its Big 12 legacy.  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  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.

Spring football has wrapped in Boulder, but three critical questions haunt Colorado’s offseason: Will Julian Lewis be ready to command the Buffs’ offense? Can Coach Prime reload this roster in the transfer portal—again? And will the defense find answers at key positions before the season kicks off? Kevin Borba dives deep into Colorado’s quarterback situation, expressing both his confidence in Julian Lewis’s elite potential and concern over his readiness to ignite the Buffs’ attack in hostile early-season road matchups. Amid hints from Brennan Marion that Lewis is “coming around the mountain,” the question looms: Can Colorado flip the switch at QB in time to chase a Big 12 title?  Portal season may be technically closed, but Kevin Borba makes it clear—plenty of athletic talent still waits for a call. He analyzes linebacker depth, secondary concerns, and the need for plug-and-play additions from experienced transfer targets. Names like Cardell Williams and Aiden Keanaaina pop up as potential difference-makers, while the Buffs’ thin margins at tight end and offensive line demand urgent attention.  On defense, Kevin Borba questions if new faces and proven playmakers like Cree Thomas and Boo Carter can deliver lockdown coverage in Deion Sanders’s high-pressure man scheme. Is the defensive front ready? Will linebacker depth hold? And just who will step up opposite Thomas at corner? Colorado’s championship aspirations rest on finding those answers fast. As the Buffs turn the page on spring, critical roster moves and the final emergence of leaders will shape whether Colorado is a dark horse contender or still searching for an identity in Year 2 under Coach Prime. Can the portal provide late help? Will the new quarterback deliver under fire? These burning questions will define Colorado football’s next chapter.  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  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes took a chance and brought in one of the best athletes in college football in Tennessee transfer Boo Carter. The former blue-chip recruit was shown the door in Knoxville despite being an All-SEC player, but had some off-the-field issues. Now that he is in Boulder, host Kevin Borba thinks that Colorado can unlock him in a way that Tennessee maybe wasn't able to.

As the Colorado Buffaloes gear up for the 2024 season, depth chart mysteries linger following the enigmatic spring game. With Julian Lewis tipped as the clear leader at quarterback, Kevin Borba dives into murky positional battles raging at running back and wide receiver, where the likes of Damien Henderson, Richard Young, and DeAndre Moore jockey for spotlight snaps in Brendan Marion’s dynamic Go-Go offense. Kevin Borba delivers insider perspective on key position groups, from left tackle shakeups and offensive line rotations—highlighting Bo Healey, Leon Bell, and Jose Soto—to tight end Zach Atkins’ expanded role.  Expect position battles to stretch into fall, with explosive newcomers Ernest Campbell and Boo Carter turning heads as potential game-changing wild cards on both sides of the ball. Switching to hoops, Kevin Borba breaks down the impact of recent portal departures, including leading scorer Isaiah Johnson and rim-protector Bang.  With Colorado losing size and scoring, questions surround Tad Boyle’s future and the program’s recruiting priorities—will the Buffs pursue international prospects or mid-major transfers in a bid to rebuild, or does the team risk falling further behind in a loaded college basketball landscape? Can Colorado’s calculated portal gambles and emerging wild cards deliver for Coach Prime on Saturdays this fall? And is the basketball program facing a reset year with talent questions and coaching concerns stacking up? The path forward for Buffs fans is anything but certain.

With Colorado’s spring game in the books, Kevin Borba gives his take on a much-clearer — but still unsettled — defensive depth chart as the Buffs look to fix glaring issues from last season. Can new portal additions like Toby Anene, Santana Hopper, and Cree Thomas transform a unit that was gashed by the run and lacked any bite up front? Kevin Borba dives into the trenches first, highlighting physical standouts like Hopper and Anene, and assessing whether newcomers like Ezra Christensen or Quincy Wiggins will emerge as interior anchors. At linebacker, it’s all about the high-end duo of Gideon Lampron and Leona Lafau — but depth remains a huge question mark with little experience behind them. The secondary takes center stage with a fierce competition at corner. Cree Thomas dazzled all spring, but questions linger opposite him as transfers and returning Buffs jockey for the CB2 spot. Kevin Borba explores whether hard-hitting safeties Nate, Randon, and Jaja Boyd could factor into the nickel if no corner steps up, and dissects how the new attitude and aggression in the secondary matches Coach Prime’s bold vision. There’s no sugar-coating it: run defense must improve for Colorado to even sniff bowl eligibility this fall. Kevin Borba lays out the numbers, the positions still up for grabs, and exactly why portal depth could make or break the Buffs’ 2024 campaign.  Plus, a breakdown of Colorado’s $6 million fundraising win, what it means for NIL, facilities, and Coach Prime’s future, and rapid-fire thoughts on Tad Boyle’s first hoops portal addition, Noah Fedderson, as Buffs basketball faces its own rebuild in the new Big 12.

The Colorado Buffaloes were able to pull off a huge win on the recruiting front, landing four-star quarterback Andre Adams out of Tennessee. With 7,000+ career passing yards and 2,000+ career rushing yards, Adams has a chance to be the most dynamic quarterback of the Deion Sanders era. Host Kevin Borba is joined by Locked On's recruiting insider, Brian Smith, as he breaks down Adams' film, and what he brings to the table for Deion Sanders.  Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis was ranked near the bottom of the Power 4 quarterbacks in college football. Borba dives into why he thinks that is the case, but also why he thinks that could eventually change.  Lastly, there is internal beef in Boulder...   f you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Big 12 football faces fan backlash as Texas Tech gets two Saturday games stripped, with a marquee matchup against Houston moved to Friday night. The Big 12 Squad debates the impact of weeknight games on local attendance, high school football culture, and the conference’s national exposure. Does this scheduling decision actually give Houston a major advantage, and why isn’t the Big 12 showcasing its top games on Saturdays like the SEC? The squad also explores massive shifts in college basketball: NIL deals and NBA draft prospects are reshaping Big 12 rosters as stars like Joseph Tugler and AJ Dybantsa weigh million-dollar decisions. Is college basketball’s calendar out of sync with the pros? Plus, Big 12 baseball’s heavyweights stumble while Kansas leads the standings—should athletic departments invest in sports beyond football and men’s basketball, or is NIL funding now changing the game for non-revenue sports forever? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Colorado Buffaloes wrap up spring ball with key positional concerns keeping fans and coaches on alert. After a spring game that left more questions than answers, Kevin Borba dives into the Buffs’ thin depth at defensive line, linebacker, and tight end—and lays out specific transfer portal solutions that could shore up the roster before the season. Kevin Borba details the razor-thin margins at interior defensive line, where injuries and lack of proven bodies threaten to repeat last year’s struggles against the run—Colorado gave up 222 yards rushing per game and lost the sack battle dramatically. The linebacker corps, while boasting top-end talent in Tyler Martinez and liona lefau, is dangerously green beyond the starters. Tight end is also one sprained ankle away from being a non-factor, with Zach Atkins as the lone proven playmaker.  Bolt-Ons or Game-Changers? Portal Targets at Key Spots Borba gives names, not just problems: he spotlights experienced transfers like Aiden Kianaaina (Notre Dame/Cal), Tyrell Green (Purdue/Eastern Kentucky), and Bruin Fleischman (Air Force) as plug-and-play options. With quarterback depth also in flux after the loss of Dominique Ponder, Sac State’s Cardell Williams emerges as a logical veteran insurance policy for a youthful QB room. Wide Receiver Room and Edges Shine Bright Amidst Uncertainty Despite the hand-wringing elsewhere, Borba’s optimism soars for Colorado’s wide receivers—headlined by breakout performances from Quentin Gibson and Danny Scudero—and a surging safety trio of Random Fontanette, Jah Jah Boyd, and Nate Mitchell. The edge rushers also jumped out as a surprise strength, setting the stage for an aggressive, hard-hitting defense if the middle can hold.  As the Buffs eye the next wave of transfer additions, Borba’s analysis calls for immediate action in the portal and urges fans to balance justified concerns with clear-eyed optimism about the team’s dynamic playmakers. Can Colorado’s aggressive pursuit in the portal provide the depth needed to withstand a Big 12 grind, or will familiar issues derail Coach Prime’s momentum when injuries inevitably hit? The summer roster moves could define the Buffs’ 2024 campaign.  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Colorado Buffaloes landed a commitment from four-star quarterback Andre Adams out of Tennessee. The dynamic dual-threat quarterback is exactly the kind of player that will flourish in Brenna Marion's offense, and could help provide Colorado with another option at quarterback as they look to find the heir to Shedeur Sanders' throne. Host Kevin Borba dives into why he loves the fit, and how this can change the dynamic of the quarterback room moving forward. Borba previews what the ideal quarterback situation would be for the next couple years for Deion Sanders and company. Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Colorado Buffaloes held their spring game over the weekend, and while there are new coaches and players all over the place, much of the discourse centered around how small the roster is. A video went viral that showed Colorado's quarterbacks, wide receivers, defensive backs and running backs taking the field, which led to many saying they looked like a high school team. Host Kevin Borba dives into why size doesn't necessarily mean a team is good, and how football is no longer just about having the biggest players. He also compares the size of Colorado's squad to the Indiana team that went 16-0 and won a title last season.  The Buffs are building a quarterback room of the future that is meant to sustain success, and Borba dives into the target that he is hearing really good things about. Borba dives into Colorado's pursuit of Andre Adams and why all the signs point to Colorado as his landing spot.  Lastly, Travis Hunter doesn't seem to think that he is no longer playing two ways. Borba breaks down how if he and the Jags were to pick a position, it should be corner, but also breaks down why the team will pick defense if it comes down to it.

As Colorado gears up for a much-anticipated but "vanilla" spring game, Kevin Borba asks: what key insights can Buffs fans actually take away, and why is ESPN putting the spotlight on Deion Sanders' latest transfer haul? Kevin Borba explores the confidence and development of QB Julian Lewis, the heated competition with Isaac Wilson, and crucial questions about Colorado’s revamped offensive line. Position battles at receiver and running back get serious, with names like Danny Scudero, Cam Perry, and Teela Taylor fighting to separate themselves—will breakout performance or quality touches decide the RB1 and WR1 races?  Switching gears, Kevin Borba analyzes ESPN’s praise for Colorado’s transfer class, highlighting impact additions with proven production and leadership. After years of big-name hunting in the portal, are the Buffs finally prioritizing fit and on-field results over star power? Hear how this approach could lift Colorado above last year’s pitfalls.  Finally, Kevin Borba reacts to breaking news: the Jaguars will no longer use Travis Hunter as a full-time two-way player in the NFL. Is keeping Hunter at cornerback the best move for his health and career longevity? What does this mean for future Buffs hoping to follow his path?

Big 12 transfer chaos signals seismic shifts—can new executive orders curb college athletes’ free agency, or will the player movement frenzy continue? Anthony Roy and Rob Wright headline heated debates over multimillion-dollar transfers, while experts question President Trump’s new transfer portal restrictions and their real-world enforceability.

Colorado football braces for a wave of off-field turmoil after former Buff Jordan Seaton questions the team’s intensity, fueling a fresh round of criticism toward Deion Sanders’ program. Can Sanders maintain stability and focus amid player departures and public back-and-forth? Kevin Borba and Jay Smith unpack Seaton’s pointed LSU remarks, breaking down what they reveal about Colorado’s locker room culture, training standards, and PR challenges. The duo debate Sanders’ no-nonsense response, keeping the Buffs above the fray, and how ex-players’ comments land differently at a program under the national microscope.  ]The episode examines why these narratives feel bigger at Colorado, and how Prime’s new staff rebuild shapes expectations—especially at quarterback, where the so-called battle between Julian Lewis and Isaac Wilson is more fuel than fire.  Key positional concerns dominate as Kevin Borba and Smith analyze the O-line overhaul, defensive line rotations, secondary versatility (with Boo Carter at the center), and the wide-open running back competition. They provide inside access on position battles, scheme fits under Brennan Marion’s high-powered Go Go offense, and which leaders are set to emerge during spring. Are former player comments a real threat or just noise for Deion’s program? Can new faces on offense and defense shore up the Buffs’ glaring weaknesses before the season opener? The pod delivers must-hear insight ahead of Colorado’s pivotal spring game and beyond.  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.

The Colorado Buffaloes have taken multiple strays from players who are no longer a part of the program. While Deion Sanders could have easily stooped to their level, the Colorado head coach made his stance on the matter abundantly clear. The Colorado head coach also chatted about his plans for Boo Carter, and revealed that Cree Thomas' strong spring has already led to some depth chart shifting.

The Buffaloes are ramping up their defensive edge with the addition of junior college standout Sam Gadie, signaling that Deion Sanders isn’t done reshaping Colorado’s roster. Can hunger and JUCO pedigree spark newfound depth and toughness in the pass rush rotation? Kevin Borba dives into Gadie journey—from Rutgers to Monroe College—and unpacks what his experience and drive mean for a Colorado edge group featuring a slew of G5, FCS, and JUCO transfers.  The focus shifts to spring ball, where key competition looms on the offensive line: eight new transfers fight for starting spots, with names like Bo Huley, Taj White, and Leon Bell leading the way. Insights from coaches and players reveal Colorado’s renewed emphasis on grit, communication, and pressure-tested mentality up front. Spring game expectations run high as Kevin Borba spotlights three crucial storylines: Julian Lewis adapting to the Go-Go offense, Colorado’s quest for a reliable running game, and a revamped run defense. With secondary battles and the kicker situation in focus, every position group faces a prove-it moment. Will Colorado’s bold new approach finally deliver the consistency, physicality, and depth needed to compete at the next level?  Head to https://Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home. Wayfair.

The Colorado Buffaloes and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets clash in a pivotal Week 1 matchup, with both programs overhauling coaching staffs, reloading rosters, and confronting sky-high expectations. Can Coach Prime’s retooled Buffs silence national doubts, or will Brent Key’s Yellow Jackets prove they’re ready to break through in the ACC? Kevin Borba and Jarvis Davis go in-depth on why CBS predicts a lopsided Georgia Tech win—and why neither side is buying it. The duo dissects major offseason changes, including Colorado’s 50+ player influx and Georgia Tech’s rebuilt wide receiver group.  Key storylines: new offensive coordinators on both sidelines, quarterback competitions, and which program is more desperate for a strong start after last season’s November collapses. Can Chris Marve's defense and Brennan Marion’s innovative offense deliver for Coach Prime and restore belief in Boulder, or will new Georgia Tech OC George Godsey shake off NFL struggles and unlock Alberto Mendoza’s potential? The coaches’ recruiting ties, friend-based staff hires, and the impact of G5/FCS transfers all take center stage.  Plus, both hosts debate who’s better positioned to rebound from a blowout—and whether either head coach could soon be replaced by their next star assistant.  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! 5-Hour ENERGY Have your cake & drink it too.

The Colorado Buffaloes quietly emerge from the offseason as one of the most improved teams in the Big 12, sparking hope for a run toward championship contention. Are the new faces—led by Brendan Marion’s offensive acumen—enough to erase last season’s disappointment? Kevin Borba takes a deep dive into the Buffs’ blueprint for success, highlighting versatile wideout Danny Scudero’s instant impact, Nate Mitchell’s game-changing presence in the secondary, and the tantalizing upside of Boo Carter. The discussion explores Marion’s ability to ignite offenses and the new energy along the defensive line with Santana Hopper and Ezra Christensen teaming up to plug last year’s glaring holes. Off-the-field drama? Kevin Borba dissects Carter’s fit and maturity, weighing high-risk, high-reward potential as coaches draw bold comparisons to Travis Hunter.  Also on tap: a candid review of Colorado’s Pro Day, with honest assessments of who raised their NFL stock and who could be left waiting for a call. Praise for Xavier Hill’s athleticism punctuates a day otherwise lacking signature performances, exposing the Buffs’ recent talent gaps and underscoring the importance of the current rebuild.  Finally, a Shedeur Sanders update has the fanbase buzzing. Armed with a new number and possibly a Browns starting role, Sanders garners franchise support and a chance to deliver a breakthrough year in the pros. Can he and Colorado’s new wave of playmakers help restore Buffs football to national relevance? Bold coaching hires, breakout stars, and NFL dreams—the path back to glory in Boulder is filled with intrigue and optimism.

Recent comments from former Colorado Buffaloes like Jordan Seaton, Ryan Staub, and London Merritt have stirred up headlines, with each taking subtle shots at Coach Prime’s program after transferring to powerhouse schools. The spotlight now turns to Deion Sanders’ response—and it’s the definition of poise. Kevin Borba kicks off with a deep dive into the situation: While some interpret the ex-players’ comments as slights against Colorado’s coaching staff, Kevin Borba argues it’s more a reflection of missing experience and fit at CU rather than outright disrespect. Sanders, meanwhile, uses the moment to set an example for his current team, advising, “We don’t talk about yesterday. Do not talk about your former schools. Do not talk about your former coaches. That’s like talking about your old girlfriend. Why would you talk about her when you got a new one? We are professional now.” 04:00 The episode draws bigger parallels, comparing coaching transitions and player departures across college football: leaving rarely comes without hard feelings, and public remarks—no matter the intent—often get twisted into drama. Sanders’ directive isn’t just sound PR, it’s life advice: focus forward, trade noise for professionalism, and avoid extra controversy. Beyond the headlines, Kevin Borba spotlights program updates—including a closer look at the wide receiver room’s emerging depth and injury news around DeAndre Moore and Hykee, Williams.  Dialogue continues around how new offensive staff plan to maximize a diverse WR group, with potential stars like Danny Scudero and Joseph Williams ready to step up. On defense, the overhaul on the edge gets attention as Coach George Hilo experiments with rotations and new transfer talent like Toby Anene and Villi Tafotafoa, aiming to dramatically improve a pass rush that lagged last season. As Kevin Borba sees it, Deion Sanders’ mature response may help tone down the noise outside Boulder—but inside, the Buffs are quietly getting to work, aiming for bigger things in 2024. Will their renewed focus shift the program’s fortunes and prove Coach Prime right?  Join the EVERYDAYER Club: https://lockedonbuffs.supercast.com 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! 5-Hour ENERGY Have your cake & drink it too.
