Colorado's youth movement charges forward as several freshmen line up for early playing time, highlighted by Mojo Williams’ playmaking spring and Preston Ashley’s leadership nod. Kevin Borba and Jack Carlough analyze which newcomers have the best shot at crashing the starting lineup, why Coach Prime’s commitment to practice performance means walk-ons and true freshmen alike could see the field, and how depth at linebacker and offensive line could shape the season’s outlook.

The discussion also spotlights a shift in Buffs recruiting strategy. With more early offers nationwide and staff hitting the road from Texas to the East Coast, Jack Carlo explains why 2028’s class could set a new standard for early commitments in the Coach Prime era, and how the transfer portal continues to influence roster construction. What does this new approach mean for high school prospects versus transfer additions? Looking ahead, Kevin Borba and Jack Carlough tackle pressing questions for Colorado:

Can the Buffs solidify depth on the defensive line? Will the offensive line finally show the needed improvement? And is this the year a dynamic backfield emerges? With Juju Lewis poised to seize QB1 and competition wide open at multiple spots, this episode explores the factors that could make or break Colorado’s Big 12 campaign — and why patience, player development, and off-field recruiting hustle are all under the microscope in Boulder.
