3 yrs ago, Dan Lanning took a top 10 program that went to a Natty and has made them into a top 10 program that HASN'T been to a Natty. Prime took a program with arguably the worst season in HISTORY and is turning them into a fringe playoff team by yr 2. Dan Lanning needs that Prime 🔥 in his belly.
do, this dude he don’t like Deion Sanders or he just don’t know what he’s talking about because how you gonna sit up until somebody they not gonna be successful and then when they successful at what you said, they won’t be successful that you said they not working hard enough When has on three sports said that by the white football coach who took over losing program start winning when have they say he’s not working hard enough after they say he won’t be successful
I dnt understand how he can say that prime isn’t working hard. That doesn’t make sense. So cu was a shit show had no interest from any high level players prime comes that changes. Cu is winning more kids will want to come off of that. So the question is why do you think he’s not recruiting high school kids when it’s not even Dec yet? You’re moving the goal post you’re comparing cu to bama and the 100 players they get yearly. Stop the bs and all the racial undertone comments you were making it’s not classy
I agree! How can you say eh is not working hard - he took over the worse college team in America and completely turned it around. Please stop the HATE dude! You have said not ONE positive thing - Please!!!
@ it’s nasty wrk talking in absolute like he knows wat prime is doing he’s targeting the positions he wants n players he want! Why bring 100 players if A. Don’t have nil to pay them on top of what u have B. You dnt want to have disgruntled kids on a team not playing n have to manage off field behavior. The portal allows him to hyper focus on the major needs n fill holes on the back end. Some ol will be replaced in the portal one or two frm high school qb is being flipped got big young wr miller gona recover rb are good need a big te defense need a skilled safety Travis replacement is on the team redshirt and need some lb help. They are all good n if they keep winning kids will line up in Dec to consider cu that’s how it goes
It’s the “lazy” troupe. That’s it. Thats all. No critical thinking here on how this is being done. The NFL doesn’t recruit a million college players. They fill pieces with impactful players. It’s the same model.
Facts. It's something about the majority of the internet pundits that won't give Prime the benefit. Everything he does is under heavy question to them. It's crazy.
You wonder why he said it non stop that this hall of fame legend is some how randomly lazy meanwhile he’s completely taken over the college sport n cu is just see tv every week
Prime is notorious for not hitting the road and visiting recruits; not "putting in the work", as is traditional. His was seems to work anyway, but that's what people mean and that's where the reputation comes from. They aren't just making it up out of thin air.
@@Thegentlemansclub619 I completely agree. I'm just explaining the more traditional view that this guy has. It's not unreasonable, even if we disagree with it.
@@garyco766it is unreasonable.Bama,GU,Texas etc those schools buy HS players becos they can afford to have 5star players riding the bench. That's how they have dominated their competitors 😂😂😂.
He just stated his hate because if you were supporting him, your support wouldn't be based on him doing it your way. If you respect him & what he's doing, then do that, but you saying he isn’t working hard because he's not doing it your way is hating.
You act like he lives in Boulder and is somehow unfaithful for not "believing" blindly. Not sure why every bandwagon CU fan (lifelong fan here BTW) has to treat anyone who ever doubted them as a hater who has to be put in their place. When someone is humble enough to admit they were wrong, show a little grace rather than rub it in their face for the rest of their life. If you wonder why CU has so many "haters" its because of behavior like that.
@@garyco766us bandwagon buff fans are very opinionated and we will keep doing it until Coach prime gets the respect he deserves. Once the media turns the corner and see things the way we see it then we as the fans that we are will praise them for finally seeing it Coach primes way.. other than that enjoy the venom that’s spewed in the direction of the media by us bandwagon buff fans…🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
@@miguellorenzo3609 Well said because opinions go both ways and hate does too. I can't stand these Deion haters. Obviously wrong and still pretending like they're right about something.
@@garyco766 That's not what's happening. If you're a "lifelong fan" you should just be happy that anyone is supporting CU because you've been wasting your long life all the way up to now. But nobody has asked anyone to believe blindly. You just admitted that you couldn't see what Prime was doing and that makes you the same as ON3. That's why you're offended FOR them. You ARE them. ON3 was actively trying to persuade recruits that CU was a bad place to go while Prime was recruiting. They talked about Prime leaving CU every week, knowing that would impact player decisions. No proof. They just lied about it. (They're still doing it). They lowered the star rating on players who chose CU. So please stop it with all the "they're humble now, show a little grace". Both you and they can jump in a lake. If you wonder why people like you and ON3 have so many haters, it's because of behavior like that.
@@miguellorenzo3609 Actually, no... that's the whole point. When people finally "turn the corner" y'all spit on them saying "nah, keep hating" and shit like that. All this nonsense about "we keep receipts", blah blah blah. Just read through this comments section and see me proven right about this about 500 times.
Or "Giving credit"? Not sure why every bandwagon CU fan (lifelong fan here BTW) has to treat anyone who ever doubted them as a hater who has to be put in their place. It's unbecoming. Take the W man. When someone is humble enough to admit they were wrong, the best thing isn't to rub it in their face for the rest of their life. Show a little grace.
@@garyco766Except he’s not giving “credit”. He says the man isn’t working hard which is complete bs and is the opposite of what you claim he’s doing. And no one cares that you’re a “lifelong” CU fan. If Prime leaves, the program goes back to being a dumpster fire so quit acting like you’re so special
@KingKofi01 Sounds like you only hear what you want to hear, like so many other bandwagon fans. Stop acting like you're the "real fans" when you just got here.
@@garyco766 I’m not a fanboy of anyone. Only a dummy would brag about “being a bigger fan”. The man literally criticized Prime’s work ethic but I “only hear what I wanna hear”? Okay 🤡
@@garyco766 Congrats for being the biggest fanboy. What are you, 12? The topic was whether the criticism is warranted. Not about your weird fanboy obsession 😂
What does a highschool kid look like going to a college team that doesn't have upperclassmen? The factory has to be built and functioning before you even start turning it into a branded franchise business. Guess what? It's functioning now and there's pieces in place to keep it functioning for the new people to HAVE TIME to go through onboarding. How do people not understand this?
I think the formula moves towards the HS end as things become stable. We HAD to go to the portal when the cupboard was bare. Now we're building the credibility you need to recruit HS, and the roster we need to have the time to let freshman develop. But in this era, you're always going to want a chunk from the portal since good players will always be looking for a better fit.
It seems to be working and faster than people thought. Do people not realize that the portal has guys that have played college ball and have film at that level compared to high school guys that are hit or miss. IE, Cormani. Hodge and McKinney were proven. They just hate that CP is doin it his way and not their way and their high school recruiting stuff is not as prevalent as the portal now.
I think the guy on the right just doesn't understand that the old way of recruiting is gone with the transfer portal. He keeps say "I want Deion to recruit more high school kids" why? So he can get a bunch of high schoolers. He pays them. They get NFL coaching. Get agitated they aren't starting and transfer or worst be a bust. This has turned into a job/business. You hire employees with experience (transfer portal) and a couple new ones to work their way up the ladder. This is the new way. He would be stupid to "risk" on a high schooler when a transfer (even a freshman transfer with a year of school under their belt) is more proven. This is basic jobs and business "we can't hire you, we're looking for someone with more experience" 🤦🏿
Thing is Prime is actually doing the things he is being critical about but he can't admit that he is wrong. I had to stop it half way just to see if people in the comments were picking up the vibe I was and yup.
I like how you guys going back and forth with each other it just shows how well coach prime has turn this ship around thank you to the guy on the left for seeing our improvements because you were big hating before the season
do, this dude he don’t like Deion Sanders or he just don’t know what he’s talking about because how you gonna sit up until somebody they not gonna be successful and then when they successful at what you said, they won’t be successful that you said they not working hard enough When has on three sports said that by the white football coach who took over losing program start winning when have they say he’s not working hard enough after they say he won’t be successful
All I’m hearing is “I don’t believe in Coach Sanders because he doesn’t do it the way “I” think he should do it”. It’s crazy they wanna put him in the same box as everyone else and have him do it the way “they do it. Sad they can’t see success any other way.
Well, I think you need to open your ears, because at least one of them basically acknowledged that maybe he was guilty of that before and that maybe Prime was ahead of "us". And the other guy basically said, yes, that's possible, but here is what I'd still like to see, and I think if I see a little more of that, CU could even win a chip.
@@garyco766 Who cares what they really want to see? They've been proven wrong several times already. They're still giving advice. And saying that "Maybe Prime was ahead of him," is a DUH moment.
*These guys hate Prime because he's a strong black man. Has NOTHING to do with football. They want him to shut up and do it how they want. These dorks never played ball, they make a living talking about ball players*
Everything isn't about being a black man my brother. And it's just the guy on the right that's an idiot and thinks he's smart but doesn't know what he's talking about. I can't stand him.
@7:13 I can't believe you're insinuating he doesn't work hard. He's DEION SANDERS. He's not the average coach that wouldn't be recognized by the common person who doesn't watch college football. He can't go in and out of cities and towns discretely. Furthermore Deion's more in touch with modern times than you are. This is why you thought he would be a failure when if it was any other coach you know you would be praising him.
It’s like the league. Why pay full NIL for a freshman when the odds of them starting is low if you don’t have a Georgia NIL budget? He’s keeping the class sizes low, but effective. Also his transfers are starting to be younger. So they are essentially getting last year’s 4 stars on a budget. Then you coach them up 😎
the guy on the left is the only reason i made it to the end. this was almost unbearable 🤣 “i want him to do it this way” yeah tell the hall of fame nfl player with nfl coaches how to run a football team
This the same, dude who said Deion Sanders would not be successful with the way he’s doing it, but now that Colorado is winning and their progressing and successful. He said Deion Sanders is not working hard enough when the hell has a winning team progressing team not been working hard enough can y’all please show me, other coach that’s winning a white coach and on three said they’re not working hard enough listen to what this dude saying is some racist ass shit because he would never tell a white head coach who is winning he’s not working hard enough but it’s a black coach and Deion Sanders, who don’t like somebody who he wanted to fail even when he winning he said he’s not working hard enough
I don't understand how people can disrespect the job Coach Prime did last year. CU in 2022, finished 1-11 and losing by an average of over 30 points. In 2023, they improved to 4-8, with losses averaging just 10 points-six games were within 12 points with five by 7 or less. CU was the worse power school; lacking NIL funds, national attention, booster support, and top-tier recruits. Prime had to rebuild CU, not just tweak things or take over an established program. There is no one who could have turned around CU in that short amount of time. CU were just a few plays away from having two seasons with 8 or more wins. He told them not to let him get comfortable since they had a shot at the crown and missed. Now watch him take over.
I think the big thing that Andy is missing is that Coach Prime has already stated what his plan was. The first two - three years he was going to use the portal heavy to get a base and to assist with building the culture at CU because of the amount of talent that he acquired. Also you have to think he needed to build a team around Shidur, Shilo, and Travis for their last years so that he can get them to the league. Let’s be honest if he got a whole bunch of high school kids their first two years they would not be where they are being bowl eligible and Shidur and Travis draft stock would not be where it is today. Also a lot of the transfers that he brought in were freshman from other schools that has a lot of eligibility left so he can add depth to those positions with the high school student. It’s really not that hard to find the clips of him saying that he is using the portal like free agency while still recruiting top talent from the high school level. I mean he did sign two of the top players in the last two years Cormoni and Jordan. Like how Warren Sapp said that sacks comes in bunches, it’s going to be the same way when it comes to the high school recruits. When they start rolling, they are going to be coming in like hot cakes.
The difference is Colorado want ready now high school players and maybe yall should research the roster because prime brought in majority sophomores and freshman even got a 2 4star lineman from Clemson and Texas
Dude wants Coach Prime to recruit a whole bunch of high school players so he can talk about how bad Colorado is for the next 3 years. Coach prime has adamantly said he's looking for high school players that can play now. Just because it's not how you'll recruit doesn't mean there's no other way to recruit. Bro is just mad because he was wrong ALL along about how Coach prime builds his team.
How many African American NCAAF head coaches have one a national championship? NONE Insanity is the definition of doing the same thing you have always done and expecting a different result.
The program was a dumbest fire before he got there ..who was coming there? He had to get the program back on track. Just cause he doesn't do the way you want doesn't mean it's bad. All this negative talk is crazy
Huh? We start 2 seniors on the O-line. We lose 8 guys off the offense and 8 more off the defense this year, including 2 top 5 picks most likely. We will still have some depth next year, but we'll need a really good recruiting class from both HS and the portal to play at the same level or improve next year.
@@JohnnyCooper-hm2zl You say that like I'm stopping him? Or criticizing? I think he's doing great - clearly the portal is working out, and now we're finally adding some solid recruiting to it also. Keep up the great work! My comment was just confusion at this guy saying we return the entire OL in '25, which isn't true at all.
With the recruiting as well, Coach Prime took a lot of young highly touted transfers in that were redshirt FR or with 2 or 3 years left to play. He’s trying to get more HS recruits but they’re recruiting guys ready to play now, not later
It’s interesting that y’all got rid of Duke as soon as he gave CU actual praise. I guess backhanded compliments are the only support they are allowed to get.
Here is the difference that BOTH of you are overlooking. Its not if you're recruiting, its HOW you're recruiting. Prime laid his blueprint out from day one. Mostly proven players WITH A MENTALITY that fits their philosophy. and the highschool players that are recruited are meant to contribute right away. He literally said this. He also said OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH THAT HE WANTS TO BE AT COLORADO. Lastly, this 2025 hs recruiting class is literally about to crack the top 30. Why dont you let him coach and ypu sit back and report and listen
Indiana coach had a lot of transfer players and no one is questioning they’re head coach methods. Just say you don’t like the guy. The guy on the right is looking for every excuse except saying he was wrong smh.
The landscape of college sports has to change because of NIL & the Transfer Portal & just like people have done throughout history. They're intimidated or turned off by what's different or what they don't understand. CP has done everything he has said he'd do to this point & yet people are still mystified because it's different.
Bruh stop you just want him to do it your way and what makes you think he has to explain anything to you why he moves the way he’s moves but to help you feel better here is what he said since you was in the back of the room the first damn time. CP said it 40%Team-40%Portal-20% HS the same as the NFL 40%Team- 40%Free Agency/Trades -20%Draft. I got an idea you become a coach and do it your way and let’s see if it works. How dare you question this man on his work ethic the same guy who is the only man in history to be in a World Series and Super Bowl like that shit was easy and you question his work ethic and call him lazy. Bruh you are a first ballot hall of fame hater.
That's crazy that you would say someone doesnt work hard. You're not with them 24/7, you don't know what he's doing. Sounds like you're just judging him based on your hate and even a racist undertone. What a joke.
@@willl7780 BETMGM "Deion Sanders has lured 42 transfers to Colorado via the transfer portal since the end of last season. Combined with 13 traditional high school recruits, that's a total of 55 new contributors on the Colorado football roster in 2024." Total 85 Scholarships
Not working hard for these guys means he is not working the way they want him to work. Throughout his career, Coach Prime has never done things the way others want him to do and it has worked for him. What makes you think he will confirm now?
Andy staples literally reaching for straws just to make a counter point which makes him lose sight of the possibility that different approaches are needed for different situations. Just because he’s not doing it the way you think it needs to be done doesn’t mean he’s wrong. In fact he’s more right than you. He’s the one doing the job, not you. You are on the sidelines just talking. He’s in the arena affecting real change.
The guy with the head set.is a joke. Deon doesn't have to do what other coaches do. Just needs to keep doing what he is doing. The guy keeps trying to tell Deon what he should be doing. He should keep his mouth shut.
You keep thinking that he needs to play by the same rules as everyone else. He's Deion freaking Sanders! The top high school players will always be interested in Colorado.
In order to turn a program around the way Coach Prime has is to do it through the portal. Once the program is more established, he can then lean a little more on recruiting high schoolers. Apparently he knows more than this guy about building a program. Also… Why is this guy talking about Coach Prime doing business like other Coaches when he is seeing success with his approach? All of that what if talk is beta male talk.
The same formula that this dude is telling Deion Sanders to use you will end up like Florida State Florida State have auto seniors what they’ve been holding onto for the past 34 years they had one big good season undefeated, and then all seniors left now they can’t even win the game because they got a team full of high schoolrecruits that’s what he wants to do and then they want to leave so bad so he can go somewhere and fail and they can talk about that first they said he wouldn’t be successful now successful and not working hard enough
40/40/20 ..... 40% Portal, 40% Juco, 20% HS ...... Your not going to get top tier HS players in the mountains of Colorado because you dont have them unfortunately with the exception of some lineman, TE's and maybe a unicorn. His system works for Colorado at this time. Look at the last 20 years. Let the man build a winning reputation first and then you may see his sytem of recruiting change.
Now he’s moving the goal post! FSU AND COLORADO ARE DIFFERENT. One had a foundation and the other started at ground ZERO! They comparing APPLES TO WATERMELON. DEION is ONE OF ONE. This guy would love for them to fail… we GOT RECEIPTS
I’m so irritated with this man saying Coach Prime doesn’t work hard. You can’t do what CP has been able to do without working hard. Visiting prospects isn’t the only way to work hard. Kids WANT to come to Boulder and see the mountains and the celebrities and the facilities. You can’t take that to someone’s living room! And did he just say “he’s articulate”?🤦🏾♀️ If I never hear this guy speak again it will be too soon
Deions lack of HS Recruiting…😂 He’s been there 1 recruiting cycle and was expected to improve the program over night. You lost all credibility with me dumb dumb
This guy may have journalism credentials but he’s talking like he’s got credentials in how to build a team/organization. Report on the information available. This is why people no longer take the “media “ seriously 😂
The guy with the headphones don't have a clue. You have to pull heavy from the portal to win now. As those wins come. High school recruiting will come. And you see that right now recruits are coming. He wants his freshman to play right away.
With the hate he was getting? No way he would have been given the grace, to suck for four years. He knew he had to make a splash right away. Now he's starting to recruit HS a little more.
Deion signed a top player at the position 3yrs in a row Travis cormani den Jordan.. the yr before that he signed his son who go be 1 of the first QBs drafted.. miss me with that he don’t recruit high school shit
4⭐️ DL CHRISTAN HUDSON FLIPPED 4⭐️ OL CHANCEY GOODEN 4⭐️ CARDE SMITH is coming to cu FACTS! 3 other 3-4⭐️ players on the line That’s only in the trenches Co PRIME SLEPT IN OFFICE DURING OFF SEASON WORKS FYI
Deion sanders is a black man... and black coaches don't get to suck for 5 years without loosing their jobs... he needed to get the players that were better than what he had when he got there and had to turn it around fast
do, this dude he don’t like Deion Sanders or he just don’t know what he’s talking about because how you gonna sit up until somebody they not gonna be successful and then when they successful at what you said, they won’t be successful that you said they not working hard enough When has on three sports said that by the white football coach who took over losing program start winning when have they say he’s not working hard enough after they say he won’t be successful
The other thing folks forget…he was hired post early signing day. Didn’t get on campus until January. They started behind the eight ball. His HS footprint will increase over the next couple years starting this year. It will never be him bringing in HS class of 30-40 kids. The most will be half that. He also doesn’t go for “star” hunting. He’ll take 3 star over a 4/5 star if their fit his required attributes. Smart, Tough, Disciplined, With Character. We’ve had zero off field incidents. And if grades aren’t right you’re not playing.
he’s adapted very well. It’s too early to tell right now if his strategy is good bc he’s fired up right now since he wants his son to look good. Time will tell.
Just watched Dukes on the 5 star flex. He's saying Colorado has an excellent NIL and you guys are saying they don't. Do they or don't they? Think you guys need to talk and get the story straight!
He has several 8-10 freshman on the team this season and several of the players are from Colorado. Several freshmen have started this year and there are several potential high school players currently being recruited. I believe Coach Prime wants the and have the same goals of any winning driven coach.
OMG, my guy!! Why are you so negative about CP...you are not a coach but you act like you no everything. You are talking about a HOF player that has been coaching and winning for a long time. You really sound like you have issues with CP and you do not even know him. You sound like you need to grow up and learn some respect. How can you even fix your mouth to say CP is not working hard when all you do is run your mouth talking bad about people. You should apologize you yourself for being so negative and disrespectful towards other people. CP is not in great health and gets up early and puts in all kinds of work in so many different areas every single day. Grow up!!!
Prime has made it known that he plans on recruiting more high school players in the future but in order to turn this roster around the portal was necessary. He did recruit high school players to Jackson State, obviously it was a different time, but he's a very good recruiter. Additionally, I don't believe he's interested in playing the climb the ladder game where he jumps from program to program. I truly do think he loves it at Colorado but also we are aware that this has a shelf life, like anything in life. People think they are dunking on us when they say he's not going to be there someday. Of course we know that. I just don't believe that he's imminently leaving. Colorado has a lot to offer other than just the football aspect and he has said he values that. And I think once you get people here, they will value that as well.
Building takes time year two is on schedule. Mixing in HS players is important but not at the expense of winning now. 9 or 10 wins in year two is a success so they just have to keep going
What you guys don’t understand is that College football has changed with the NIL deal. It’s now professional football on the collegiate level. You also have to understand that Coach Primes recruiting philosophy is much like an NFL scout, meaning he’s only looking for players that can play immediately. If players need to be developed more before hitting the field, they need to go to a Junior College or a small school and work on techniques and basics. However, in this new era, you come to play immediate. You guys have to let that old way of thinking die in the pasture. It’s a different day, and players are going to the team that will get them in the league. All of you counted Coach Prime out. Lol, it’s a different day today. He knows what he’s doing, remember he’s played at the next level, and he has an extremely high football IQ.
20 minutes of backhanded compliments instead of admitting you’re wrong about Coach Prime 😂

You act like he lives in Boulder and is somehow unfaithful for not "believing" blindly. Not sure why every bandwagon CU fan (lifelong fan here BTW) has to treat anyone who ever doubted them as a hater who has to be put in their place. When someone is humble enough to admit they were wrong, show a little grace rather than rub it in their face for the rest of their life. If you wonder why CU has so many "haters" its because of behavior like that.
@@garyco766us bandwagon buff fans are very opinionated and we will keep doing it until Coach prime gets the respect he deserves. Once the media turns the corner and see things the way we see it then we as the fans that we are will praise them for finally seeing it Coach primes way.. other than that enjoy the venom that’s spewed in the direction of the media by us bandwagon buff fans…🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
@@miguellorenzo3609 Well said because opinions go both ways and hate does too. I can't stand these Deion haters. Obviously wrong and still pretending like they're right about something.
@@garyco766 That's not what's happening. If you're a "lifelong fan" you should just be happy that anyone is supporting CU because you've been wasting your long life all the way up to now. But nobody has asked anyone to believe blindly. You just admitted that you couldn't see what Prime was doing and that makes you the same as ON3. That's why you're offended FOR them. You ARE them.
ON3 was actively trying to persuade recruits that CU was a bad place to go while Prime was recruiting. They talked about Prime leaving CU every week, knowing that would impact player decisions. No proof. They just lied about it. (They're still doing it).
They lowered the star rating on players who chose CU.
So please stop it with all the "they're humble now, show a little grace". Both you and they can jump in a lake.
If you wonder why people like you and ON3 have so many haters, it's because of behavior like that.
@@miguellorenzo3609 Actually, no... that's the whole point. When people finally "turn the corner" y'all spit on them saying "nah, keep hating" and shit like that. All this nonsense about "we keep receipts", blah blah blah. Just read through this comments section and see me proven right about this about 500 times.
Video should be titled “Eating crow”
Or "Giving credit"? Not sure why every bandwagon CU fan (lifelong fan here BTW) has to treat anyone who ever doubted them as a hater who has to be put in their place. It's unbecoming. Take the W man. When someone is humble enough to admit they were wrong, the best thing isn't to rub it in their face for the rest of their life. Show a little grace.
@@garyco766Except he’s not giving “credit”. He says the man isn’t working hard which is complete bs and is the opposite of what you claim he’s doing. And no one cares that you’re a “lifelong” CU fan. If Prime leaves, the program goes back to being a dumpster fire so quit acting like you’re so special
@KingKofi01 Sounds like you only hear what you want to hear, like so many other bandwagon fans. Stop acting like you're the "real fans" when you just got here.
@@garyco766 I’m not a fanboy of anyone. Only a dummy would brag about “being a bigger fan”. The man literally criticized Prime’s work ethic but I “only hear what I wanna hear”? Okay 🤡
@@garyco766 Congrats for being the biggest fanboy. What are you, 12? The topic was whether the criticism is warranted. Not about your weird fanboy obsession 😂
What does a highschool kid look like going to a college team that doesn't have upperclassmen? The factory has to be built and functioning before you even start turning it into a branded franchise business. Guess what? It's functioning now and there's pieces in place to keep it functioning for the new people to HAVE TIME to go through onboarding. How do people not understand this?
EXACTLY
They do understand. They just don't want to admit it. It's pure hate and they have too much pride to tell the truth.
Because they didn't want to. They wanted to rush it out the door as fast as they can. 😂
@@lexibrowning7447 EXACTLY
guys his formula 20% hs 40% transfer 40% the current team are you listening?
They aren't listening. None of them are. Formula is in plain sight and the nation is not listening. Its crazy
They don’t want to listen. They want him do things their way. And upset that they are wrong so move the goal post to does he want to even coach at CU
They just are talking for clicks at this point.
I think the formula moves towards the HS end as things become stable. We HAD to go to the portal when the cupboard was bare. Now we're building the credibility you need to recruit HS, and the roster we need to have the time to let freshman develop. But in this era, you're always going to want a chunk from the portal since good players will always be looking for a better fit.
It seems to be working and faster than people thought. Do people not realize that the portal has guys that have played college ball and have film at that level compared to high school guys that are hit or miss. IE, Cormani. Hodge and McKinney were proven. They just hate that CP is doin it his way and not their way and their high school recruiting stuff is not as prevalent as the portal now.
I think the guy on the right just doesn't understand that the old way of recruiting is gone with the transfer portal. He keeps say "I want Deion to recruit more high school kids" why? So he can get a bunch of high schoolers. He pays them. They get NFL coaching. Get agitated they aren't starting and transfer or worst be a bust. This has turned into a job/business. You hire employees with experience (transfer portal) and a couple new ones to work their way up the ladder. This is the new way. He would be stupid to "risk" on a high schooler when a transfer (even a freshman transfer with a year of school under their belt) is more proven. This is basic jobs and business "we can't hire you, we're looking for someone with more experience" 🤦🏿
Every home game he has multiple hs kids there and other high school kids show up to the away games to see him.
This makes total sense. He's smart
Naaah!!! It's pure hate
Excellent analysis
Thing is Prime is actually doing the things he is being critical about but he can't admit that he is wrong. I had to stop it half way just to see if people in the comments were picking up the vibe I was and yup.
I like how you guys going back and forth with each other it just shows how well coach prime has turn this ship around thank you to the guy on the left for seeing our improvements because you were big hating before the season
It's only freaking year 2! Relax!
Hate won't let them relax.
Florida State got a bunch of High school kids how did that turn out.
😂😂😂
do, this dude he don’t like Deion Sanders or he just don’t know what he’s talking about because how you gonna sit up until somebody they not gonna be successful and then when they successful at what you said, they won’t be successful that you said they not working hard enough
When has on three sports said that by the white football coach who took over losing program start winning when have they say he’s not working hard enough after they say he won’t be successful
All I’m hearing is “I don’t believe in Coach Sanders because he doesn’t do it the way “I” think he should do it”. It’s crazy they wanna put him in the same box as everyone else and have him do it the way “they do it. Sad they can’t see success any other way.
Well, I think you need to open your ears, because at least one of them basically acknowledged that maybe he was guilty of that before and that maybe Prime was ahead of "us". And the other guy basically said, yes, that's possible, but here is what I'd still like to see, and I think if I see a little more of that, CU could even win a chip.
The mindset that Prime has to do it my way for success is totally stupid. Just shut up and go in the corner and eat your cookie😅
@@garyco766 Who cares what they really want to see? They've been proven wrong several times already. They're still giving advice. And saying that "Maybe Prime was ahead of him," is a DUH moment.
*These guys hate Prime because he's a strong black man. Has NOTHING to do with football. They want him to shut up and do it how they want. These dorks never played ball, they make a living talking about ball players*
Everything isn't about being a black man my brother. And it's just the guy on the right that's an idiot and thinks he's smart but doesn't know what he's talking about. I can't stand him.
They want shuck and jive Norvel. He doesn't hurt their sensibilities and caters to their whiteness.
No 😭 they money off high school lol their highest ratings come from Colorado. They just want more money and views lol
Couldn’t have said it better.
THAT PART!
Saying Prime isn’t working hard is crazy work.
@7:13 I can't believe you're insinuating he doesn't work hard. He's DEION SANDERS. He's not the average coach that wouldn't be recognized by the common person who doesn't watch college football. He can't go in and out of cities and towns discretely. Furthermore Deion's more in touch with modern times than you are. This is why you thought he would be a failure when if it was any other coach you know you would be praising him.
It’s like the league. Why pay full NIL for a freshman when the odds of them starting is low if you don’t have a Georgia NIL budget? He’s keeping the class sizes low, but effective. Also his transfers are starting to be younger. So they are essentially getting last year’s 4 stars on a budget. Then you coach them up 😎
Most teams with a lot of freshmen are just developing players for the next team they will transfer to.
It’s a Great strategy
the guy on the left is the only reason i made it to the end. this was almost unbearable 🤣 “i want him to do it this way” yeah tell the hall of fame nfl player with nfl coaches how to run a football team
Midway through this conversation Andy realized Ari holds serious aversion towards Coach Prime
This ARI guy just want it done the traditional way. He doesn’t know anything about Colorado and what goes on behind the scenes. He is not Dan lanning
The man on the right CANNOT stand Colorado and coach prime team 😂 like bro we still getting high school recruits
Like for real. Jordan Seaton, Micah Welch, Cash Cleveland are all freshman out of high school and got playing time this season.
This the same, dude who said Deion Sanders would not be successful with the way he’s doing it, but now that Colorado is winning and their progressing and successful. He said Deion Sanders is not working hard enough when the hell has a winning team progressing team not been working hard enough can y’all please show me, other coach that’s winning a white coach and on three said they’re not working hard enough listen to what this dude saying is some racist ass shit because he would never tell a white head coach who is winning he’s not working hard enough but it’s a black coach and Deion Sanders, who don’t like somebody who he wanted to fail even when he winning he said he’s not working hard enough
I don't understand how people can disrespect the job Coach Prime did last year. CU in 2022, finished 1-11 and losing by an average of over 30 points. In 2023, they improved to 4-8, with losses averaging just 10 points-six games were within 12 points with five by 7 or less. CU was the worse power school; lacking NIL funds, national attention, booster support, and top-tier recruits. Prime had to rebuild CU, not just tweak things or take over an established program. There is no one who could have turned around CU in that short amount of time. CU were just a few plays away from having two seasons with 8 or more wins. He told them not to let him get comfortable since they had a shot at the crown and missed. Now watch him take over.
Thank u the guy on the right is allergic to talking about Colorado
@@Lamont47 It's a common disease in the media.
I think the big thing that Andy is missing is that Coach Prime has already stated what his plan was. The first two - three years he was going to use the portal heavy to get a base and to assist with building the culture at CU because of the amount of talent that he acquired. Also you have to think he needed to build a team around Shidur, Shilo, and Travis for their last years so that he can get them to the league. Let’s be honest if he got a whole bunch of high school kids their first two years they would not be where they are being bowl eligible and Shidur and Travis draft stock would not be where it is today. Also a lot of the transfers that he brought in were freshman from other schools that has a lot of eligibility left so he can add depth to those positions with the high school student. It’s really not that hard to find the clips of him saying that he is using the portal like free agency while still recruiting top talent from the high school level. I mean he did sign two of the top players in the last two years Cormoni and Jordan. Like how Warren Sapp said that sacks comes in bunches, it’s going to be the same way when it comes to the high school recruits. When they start rolling, they are going to be coming in like hot cakes.
Did you see how many players Indiana brought in? They brought in a ton and nobody talks about that. !!
The difference is Colorado want ready now high school players and maybe yall should research the roster because prime brought in majority sophomores and freshman even got a 2 4star lineman from Clemson and Texas
So he’s lazy??? The man work crazy hours he even sleep at the facility
Dude wants Coach Prime to recruit a whole bunch of high school players so he can talk about how bad Colorado is for the next 3 years. Coach prime has adamantly said he's looking for high school players that can play now. Just because it's not how you'll recruit doesn't mean there's no other way to recruit. Bro is just mad because he was wrong ALL along about how Coach prime builds his team.
How many African American NCAAF head coaches have one a national championship? NONE Insanity is the definition of doing the same thing you have always done and expecting a different result.
The program was a dumbest fire before he got there ..who was coming there? He had to get the program back on track. Just cause he doesn't do the way you want doesn't mean it's bad. All this negative talk is crazy
Every starter on the OL can return in '25. The foundation is set already and people weren't paying attention to the players that were coming in.
Facts he got dudes with multiple years of eligibility
Huh? We start 2 seniors on the O-line. We lose 8 guys off the offense and 8 more off the defense this year, including 2 top 5 picks most likely. We will still have some depth next year, but we'll need a really good recruiting class from both HS and the portal to play at the same level or improve next year.
@@garyco766so let him do it his way.
@@JohnnyCooper-hm2zl You say that like I'm stopping him? Or criticizing? I think he's doing great - clearly the portal is working out, and now we're finally adding some solid recruiting to it also. Keep up the great work!
My comment was just confusion at this guy saying we return the entire OL in '25, which isn't true at all.
@ ok my bad for misunderstanding your comment.
With the recruiting as well, Coach Prime took a lot of young highly touted transfers in that were redshirt FR or with 2 or 3 years left to play. He’s trying to get more HS recruits but they’re recruiting guys ready to play now, not later
He is basically doing it like the nfl they trade players all day and draft 😂 silly, you get what you need from whats available
These I d I o t s don't even realize that... But they know everything 😂😂🤣
Colton hood ? HS.
It’s interesting that y’all got rid of Duke as soon as he gave CU actual praise. I guess backhanded compliments are the only support they are allowed to get.
Dan Lanning fire!!????? 😂 you can’t be serious. This is almost unwatchable. Terrible take
Coach Prime has 2 top five players on their team so he wanted to win now. If you win, you can get recruits.
Here is the difference that BOTH of you are overlooking. Its not if you're recruiting, its HOW you're recruiting. Prime laid his blueprint out from day one. Mostly proven players WITH A MENTALITY that fits their philosophy. and the highschool players that are recruited are meant to contribute right away. He literally said this. He also said OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH THAT HE WANTS TO BE AT COLORADO. Lastly, this 2025 hs recruiting class is literally about to crack the top 30. Why dont you let him coach and ypu sit back and report and listen
Indiana coach had a lot of transfer players and no one is questioning they’re head coach methods. Just say you don’t like the guy. The guy on the right is looking for every excuse except saying he was wrong smh.
The landscape of college sports has to change because of NIL & the Transfer Portal & just like people have done throughout history. They're intimidated or turned off by what's different or what they don't understand. CP has done everything he has said he'd do to this point & yet people are still mystified because it's different.
1-11 losing by 30 every game never on tv. Conversation over.
Bruh stop you just want him to do it your way and what makes you think he has to explain anything to you why he moves the way he’s moves but to help you feel better here is what he said since you was in the back of the room the first damn time. CP said it 40%Team-40%Portal-20% HS the same as the NFL 40%Team- 40%Free Agency/Trades -20%Draft.
I got an idea you become a coach and do it your way and let’s see if it works. How dare you question this man on his work ethic the same guy who is the only man in history to be in a World Series and Super Bowl like that shit was easy and you question his work ethic and call him lazy. Bruh you are a first ballot hall of fame hater.
That's crazy that you would say someone doesnt work hard. You're not with them 24/7, you don't know what he's doing. Sounds like you're just judging him based on your hate and even a racist undertone. What a joke.
When has winning and progressing been defined as not working hard enough only when it’s a black person who’s doing it?
Dog whistles; he doesn't work hard, he doesn't know, etc.
he doesnt recruit HS...he will not build a real program turning over your roster every year

Not working hard for these guys means he is not working the way they want him to work. Throughout his career, Coach Prime has never done things the way others want him to do and it has worked for him. What makes you think he will confirm now?
Andy staples literally reaching for straws just to make a counter point which makes him lose sight of the possibility that different approaches are needed for different situations.
Just because he’s not doing it the way you think it needs to be done doesn’t mean he’s wrong. In fact he’s more right than you. He’s the one doing the job, not you. You are on the sidelines just talking. He’s in the arena affecting real change.
The guy with the head set.is a joke.
Deon doesn't have to do what other coaches do. Just needs to keep doing what he is doing. The guy keeps trying to tell Deon what he should be doing. He should keep his mouth shut.
You keep thinking that he needs to play by the same rules as everyone else. He's Deion freaking Sanders! The top high school players will always be interested in Colorado.
This how Dom do this Colorado is already a big 12 contender date the fourth team in the big 12 out of all the other teams
Y'all are going to get some bad backlash for the The Philip Dukes situation. That's a bad look.
In order to turn a program around the way Coach Prime has is to do it through the portal. Once the program is more established, he can then lean a little more on recruiting high schoolers. Apparently he knows more than this guy about building a program.
Also… Why is this guy talking about Coach Prime doing business like other Coaches when he is seeing success with his approach? All of that what if talk is beta male talk.
The same formula that this dude is telling Deion Sanders to use you will end up like Florida State Florida State have auto seniors what they’ve been holding onto for the past 34 years they had one big good season undefeated, and then all seniors left now they can’t even win the game because they got a team full of high schoolrecruits that’s what he wants to do and then they want to leave so bad so he can go somewhere and fail and they can talk about that first they said he wouldn’t be successful now successful and not working hard enough
40/40/20 ..... 40% Portal, 40% Juco, 20% HS ...... Your not going to get top tier HS players in the mountains of Colorado because you dont have them unfortunately with the exception of some lineman, TE's and maybe a unicorn. His system works for Colorado at this time. Look at the last 20 years. Let the man build a winning reputation first and then you may see his sytem of recruiting change.
Now he’s moving the goal post! FSU AND COLORADO ARE DIFFERENT. One had a foundation and the other started at ground ZERO! They comparing APPLES TO WATERMELON. DEION is ONE OF ONE. This guy would love for them to fail… we GOT RECEIPTS
I’m so irritated with this man saying Coach Prime doesn’t work hard. You can’t do what CP has been able to do without working hard. Visiting prospects isn’t the only way to work hard. Kids WANT to come to Boulder and see the mountains and the celebrities and the facilities. You can’t take that to someone’s living room!
And did he just say “he’s articulate”?🤦🏾♀️ If I never hear this guy speak again it will be too soon
The guy with the headphones has no idea what he is talking about. He's saying nonsense.
Deions lack of HS Recruiting…😂
He’s been there 1 recruiting cycle and was expected to improve the program over night. You lost all credibility with me dumb dumb
He wouldn’t need the portal at Alabama
This guy may have journalism credentials but he’s talking like he’s got credentials in how to build a team/organization. Report on the information available. This is why people no longer take the “media “ seriously 😂
The guy with the headphones don't have a clue. You have to pull heavy from the portal to win now. As those wins come. High school recruiting will come. And you see that right now recruits are coming. He wants his freshman to play right away.
When he has the BEST high school talent, they’ll say Prime listened to them! Lol. These people are nuts.
Every Colorado fan SHOULD UNSUBSCRIBE - On3 shouldn't have fired Phil Dukes
On3 fired themselves and not Philip Duke his going to be bigger than you guys.
With the hate he was getting? No way he would have been given the grace, to suck for four years. He knew he had to make a splash right away. Now he's starting to recruit HS a little more.
You want him to build from high school but gone bash him if he lose games
“He’s articulate” PPL ONLY SAY THAT ABOUT PEOPLE OF COLOR WOW ON3
Deion signed a top player at the position 3yrs in a row Travis cormani den Jordan.. the yr before that he signed his son who go be 1 of the first QBs drafted.. miss me with that he don’t recruit high school shit

Now he moves the target to DEION WANTS TO LEAVE…. RUNNING FROM EXCUSES. This is crazy!
The other thing folks forget…he was hired post early signing day. Didn’t get on campus until January. They started behind the eight ball. His HS footprint will increase over the next couple years starting this year. It will never be him bringing in HS class of 30-40 kids. The most will be half that. He also doesn’t go for “star” hunting. He’ll take 3 star over a 4/5 star if their fit his required attributes. Smart, Tough, Disciplined, With Character. We’ve had zero off field incidents. And if grades aren’t right you’re not playing.
Jordan Seaton?
Jordan, Micah, and a few more
You don't know more football than Coach Deion Sanders. The coach at your favorite school doesn't know more either.
Guys, Deion is just in year 2. YEAR 2! He will get those high school classes moving forward. He's just settling down.
he’s adapted very well.
It’s too early to tell right now if his strategy is good bc he’s fired up right now since he wants his son to look good. Time will tell.
He's literally putting that clase together right now.
Just watched Dukes on the 5 star flex. He's saying Colorado has an excellent NIL and you guys are saying they don't. Do they or don't they? Think you guys need to talk and get the story straight!
The guy on the left wants to check the guy on the right so bad but keeps biting his tongue lol
That's ridiculous to say that coach Prime is not fire up.
So much hate and back handed compliments! Typical On3 😂😂
He has several 8-10 freshman on the team this season and several of the players are from Colorado. Several freshmen have started this year and there are several potential high school players currently being recruited. I believe Coach Prime wants the and have the same goals of any winning driven coach.
OMG, my guy!! Why are you so negative about CP...you are not a coach but you act like you no everything. You are talking about a HOF player that has been coaching and winning for a long time. You really sound like you have issues with CP and you do not even know him. You sound like you need to grow up and learn some respect. How can you even fix your mouth to say CP is not working hard when all you do is run your mouth talking bad about people. You should apologize you yourself for being so negative and disrespectful towards other people. CP is not in great health and gets up early and puts in all kinds of work in so many different areas every single day. Grow up!!!
All I can do is laugh at this point😂
What have Dan Lanning won? He inherited a gold mine. Coach Prime’s doing it his way. Watch and enjoy
Diff between CU and FSU is..coaching! He’s working as hard as anyone. Ari sounds like a hater
Prime has made it known that he plans on recruiting more high school players in the future but in order to turn this roster around the portal was necessary. He did recruit high school players to Jackson State, obviously it was a different time, but he's a very good recruiter. Additionally, I don't believe he's interested in playing the climb the ladder game where he jumps from program to program. I truly do think he loves it at Colorado but also we are aware that this has a shelf life, like anything in life. People think they are dunking on us when they say he's not going to be there someday. Of course we know that. I just don't believe that he's imminently leaving. Colorado has a lot to offer other than just the football aspect and he has said he values that. And I think once you get people here, they will value that as well.
Building takes time year two is on schedule. Mixing in HS players is important but not at the expense of winning now. 9 or 10 wins in year two is a success so they just have to keep going
Don’t get defensive Ari lol…take the L and keep it moving!!
ju ju lewis? man pull your level up
The difference was you guys were only focused on the future while Deion was focusing on the present and the future at the same time
You need to look at the eligibility of some of the transfer portal players.
Unfollowed ..Phillip dukes will still succeed
What you guys don’t understand is that College football has changed with the NIL deal. It’s now professional football on the collegiate level. You also have to understand that Coach Primes recruiting philosophy is much like an NFL scout, meaning he’s only looking for players that can play immediately. If players need to be developed more before hitting the field, they need to go to a Junior College or a small school and work on techniques and basics. However, in this new era, you come to play immediate.
You guys have to let that old way of thinking die in the pasture. It’s a different day, and players are going to the team that will get them in the league. All of you counted Coach Prime out. Lol, it’s a different day today. He knows what he’s doing, remember he’s played at the next level, and he has an extremely high football IQ.
