Third thread in a series of schools we thought were a recruiting joke, but folk aren't laughing anymore as they're serious competition.

Deion and the Buffs are the flavor of the day and we're now going head to head with them (and MSU) for a lot of recruits now. From what @Cribby has mentioned in other threads, the Colorado NIL is no joke (unlike UF and FSU) so its not just Deon recruiting with no money behind him.

Deion has irritated me for a long time. Didn't like his flash over substance at FSU



The old school Canes put him in place after they begged for Miami. Hoping Mario will do the same 30 years later.

Deon has irritated me for a long time. Didn't like his flash over substance at FSU



The old school Canes put him in place after they begged for Miami. Hoping Mario will do the same 30 years later.

Current score:

Deon: 2
Mario: 0

2022 Battles

Deon swoops in and steals Kevin Coleman from Mario at the last second

2023 Battles

Yea but Kevin Coleman did not live up to the hype

Last Nerve I: Head to Head against the Cards

First thread in a series of schools we thought were a recruiting joke, but folk aren't laughing anymore as they're serious competition. Early in the year, people laughed as Bama raided the ville for portal WR Tyler Harrell. That seems to have lit a fire under their boosters and @Cribby...

Last Nerve II: Head to Head against Sparty

Second thread in a series of schools we thought were a recruiting joke, but folk aren't laughing anymore. Early in the year, folks openly laughed when they heard that Sparty was offering kids that we were interested in. They aren't laughing any more. After seeing Sparty repeatedly either...

You guys need to chill. Not that big of a deal. We had a fantastic class. Always going to be some head scratching moves in recruiting.

This really has little to do with Cormani (although that did push me over the edge). More so Colorado is in the Top 10 with us with a lot of recruits just like MSU was at this point last year.
 
Mario really pummeled Sparty last year and turned things around by the end of the cycle.

Deion offered other guys that we landed too right? I'm to lazy right now to find each one.

But If thats the way you view recruiting then how about Brian Brohm bodying Deion for the 5 star 2024 LB Capers.

A 2-3 win season and a bunch of blowouts and Deion wont even have the luxury of a bump class.

If a recruit wants to go to CU who is a bottom dwelling B12 team with a gimicky head coach, that's on them. Mario has his faults, but he at least has a track record of coaching success and is getting really good players to buy into his vision for the program. I'm not losing sleep over MSU or CU...

Deion won last year at an HBCU... lets see him win at CU.

Lets see how he handles losing. Lets see who he blames. Lets see how he makes adjustments.

It would be diff if he walked into Alabama but he didnt he walked into CU and next season is going to be tough for him. Personally I think it all blows up in his face.

Such a dumb thread. Deion offered plenty of our recruits

It’s not 2-0 at all

You’re only counting the ones he won lmao

You may need to go through all of our recruits offer lists

How do you know Cormani and Coleman are the only 2 Deion tried for? I highly doubt that is the case. Nobody knows what the score really is.

The OP is still a work in progress. I know that Deon tried to get Jackson to visit but he turned him down. Not sure how agressively he recruited him. If people know of other 2023 battles, please let me know and I'll update the OP.

I added Justin Scott (24) as an upcoming battle to watch out for. Going through Top 10 lists now to see where else we're going head to head.
