Coach Prime

In terms of recruiting, this is gonna be like Brandon Roy to Nathan Hale HS.

Just picked up a 5* commit for the '25 class and tOSU's top WR commit just announced he's not going to sign early so that he can visit Colorado. Would not be surprised if he finishes with a top 15 class

I've never liked him, nothing's changed with me, but weº must all recognize the enemy now.

I think there's a big nostalgia boner for him because a lot of middle-aged men remember him from the covers of their sports illustrated collection. People forget the guy was a huge egotistical asshole

Did we get a bump when Jimmy Lake was hired? Coach Prime has a limited window in which to sell the "Cult of Personality" but it well known in sports that black players don't always warm up to black coaches. Most didn't grow up with a black father in the home so they don't always perceive a black coach as being the same authority as a non-black. That's just the God's honest truth that applies in College and the Pro ranks.

We didn't lose anyone from Pete's class with Lake. Then Lake got lazy, replaced our recruiting coordinator with Justin Glenn, left it entirely to the assistants, and everything collapsed

Deion has already done more in 1 day than Lake did as a head coach

My best guess is a lot of people are gonna want to coach with him. Defensive recruits are gonna love him. I do wonder if he wins like 9-10 games by year 3 does he get a shot in the NFL and bolt.

Prime is going to recruit nationally, especially considering he has the strongest roots in Dallas/Atlanta/Florida. I think we'll be more screwed over by his poaching of portal players than anything else... because I imagine he's going to clear out a lot of space from that currently drek Colorado roster
