Hosts

• Manny ( @Manny_303 )
• Miles ( @MilesHighBuffs )
• Channel: @ColoradoVOCFB

• Happy Friday, beautiful Denver weather discussion (warm winter, no jinxing snow)
• Hosts feeling rejuvenated after last week's Adam Munsterte interview
• Excitement about recruiting momentum under OC Brennan Marion
• Merch, memberships, Super Chats, podcast availability (Spotify, Apple, etc.) plugs

• Former Buff OL Casey Roddick promoted to OL coach at Georgia State
• 3*/borderline 4* TE Reese Russell (Valor Christian, Buff legacy – brother of Brady Russell) cut Colorado from top 6
  • Hosts disappointed; want stronger in-state relationships (Valor, Cherry Creek, etc.)
• OL Jevon McFadden (Jordan Seaton’s cousin, ex-Ohio State) added significant weight (~295 → ~320 range)
  • Hosts lean RT projection (6'3", long arms); interior competition expected
• Coach Marion interview (conducted by Philip Dukes) highlights:
  • UNLV offense had 9 players with 50+ touches
  • Emphasis on spreading ball, “fifth quarter” tempo, creativity with personnel
  • Hosts speculate possible 50-touch players: Kaleb Taylor, Michael Welch, Zach Atkins, DeAndre Moore, Cam Perry, Dennis Kuduro, Joseph Williams, Quentin Gibson, Hakeem Williams, Ernest Campbell, etc.
  • Heavy praise for TE Zach Atkins (big target / safety net for young QB Julian Lewis)
  • Double-TE sets with Bo Hughley / Zane / Atkins discussed (H-back usage like Brock Bowers)
• Winter workout clips show high energy / team bonding (QB1 involved, Hakeem Williams & JoJo hyped)
• PFF grades: Transfer DTs Ezra Christensen (#1, 88.6) & Santana Hopper (#3, 80.2)
  • DL room loaded but lacks true nose; speculation on 3-4 vs. 4-3 vs. hybrid fronts
• Drama: Former Buff TE Christian Forcucci criticized Coach Prime (flash/no substance, not bright, etc.)
  • Hosts view it mostly as bitterness after son Caleb didn’t make team
• Trinidad Chambliss granted 7th year after multiple appeals
  • Mixed feelings: happy for player, but frustration over endless appeals process
  • Concern for Deuce Knight’s situation (talent waiting behind Chambliss)

• 9 × 4-stars (RB Kadarius McMiller, S Gabe Jenkins, DL Ben Jarvis Shoemaker, DL Caden Robinson Vickers, CB Keyshawn Telfair, WR Kyron Caldwell, LB Colton McKibben, TE Jordan Karhoff, DE Rion Jackson)
• 8 × 3-stars (Athlete Brooklyn Bailey – in-state, DE Cedric Marsh, WR Isaiah Alvarez, OL Bryson Hurt, DL Kyron Haywood, QB Jameson Roberts, DB Kenzen Sullivan, DL Devin Robertson – OU commit)

• WR Braylon Clark (Charlotte, NC)
• S James Foster (Lancaster, TX)
• RB Zayden Jernigan #1 RB (Louisville, MS)

• 4* OT LaMarcus Bug Jones (Jackson, MS) – May 15
• 4* DL King Thibodeau (Garland, TX) – June
• 4* WR Khalil Taylor (Pittsburgh, PA)

• Volume extremely high (28+ 2027 offers in ~2 weeks)
• Heavy emphasis on trenches (DL/OL), versatile skill players, Pittsburgh / Mississippi / Texas / Georgia / Florida
• Early relationship-building strategy (especially 4-stars & unranked upside prospects)

• Rashaan Salaam (1995 – potential 11-1 or better season)
• Matt Russell (mid-90s LB – Butkus winner)
• Nelson Spruce (2016 – loaded offense with Bobo/Fields/Ross/Lindsey)
• Steven Montez (QB consistency through rough 2020–2022 transition)
• Nate Landman (leadership for 2022 squad)
• Charles Johnson (1994 – elite WR trio with Westbrook/Carruth)
