I agree brother this is his full plan. Let’s break down what Coach Prime is doing and has talked about on many occasions, but most are not paying attention to what he has said, and it will be too late before they realize what has hit them. Coach Prime thinks like an NFL GM, while most college coaches think like college coaches and are sending their scouts all around the country to these HS games whereas coach Prime scouts are at other universities scouting their players. The coach prime plan is called 40-40-20 and it’s going to be too late before they figure it out. 40% grad transfers (Which Coach Prime see as free agents and he uses the portal as the free agent signing period like in the NFL). These men not boys have graduated college and are looking to improve their NFL grade on a one-year contract. Since they were red-shirted they still have one year of eligibility remaining. (Like free agents in the NFL on a one year minimum prove it contract) to come to CU and prove it and in return he provides them exposure on a national stage. An NFL run program with scouts and connections to the NFL. Practices that are designed in an NFL format so when scouts come to practice, they see those players practicing in a format they understand and don’t have to try and figure out if that college player can translate to the NFL. They see it and can provide a real grade. None of these men count against his scholarships. They don’t have to worry about going to class. They report in May just like the NFL is running their rookie and voluntary workouts currently. They have graduated so the NCAA rules about so many coaches’ hours during the summer does not apply. They have a full three months of (Access to the coaches, CU playbook Install, Film study, strength and conditioning, Player lead practices and fall camp. The same process as the NFL). From last year’s class there are six undrafted free agents that have signed with NFL teams. 40% are undergraduates with college experience (Junior & Seniors) that have been in power four weight and development programs or top players from the group of 5 or FCS level that have already adjusted to college and again have been scouted and offered a scholarship and they accept and announced they are getting into the portal and coming to CU. Coach Prime is not in the portal searching for players. (CU Scouts, CU offers, Player makes visit, Player accepts, Player announces he is entering the portal already knowing his destination). Same process as high school. He just does it at the college level. He has been recruiting your team’s 4- and 5-star players from two years ago. 20% HS and again it’s going to be too late before they figure out what he is doing. He treats HS recruiting like an NFL Draft class. (There are only 32 five stars per year available) He only wants one 5 star per class and usually the number one guy at whatever position of need. Travis (2021), Cormani (2023), Seaton (2024) and he treats that player like the number one draft pick. That player gets the highest NIL deal for his class, Media shine etc. etc. and expected to play right away. The next 4 star is like a second-round pick and paid accordingly and treated accordingly and expected to see some action Dylan and Omarion last year. Drelon and Kam this year. The remaining HS draft picks no more than 4 per class will at least be on special teams like they do in the NFL. They will dress and travel with the team. This will allow them to grow without looking over their shoulders at a bunch of 4 and 5 stars stacked on top of each other that will be disgruntled in two years. Last year’s HS draft class is not competing with this year’s HS draft class, they all have their scholarships and deals and can focus on school and football, and he is not stressing out the NIL pool of money.
Great point, Big Tiger! You stay on it.
Already!

You are spot on
