Find it very odd that Colorado signed SEVEN of the Top 30 DL and EIGHT of the Top 50 in the transfer portal. I get the novelty of Coach Prime but don’t these guys want to play? And, maybe for a team that has a realistic chance to challenge for a playoff spot and NC??

They signed 15 DLs? Someone is going to be disappointed and back in the portal.

Probably has a little something with Prime brining in Warren Sapp to coach his DL.

They are replacing basically a whole team again, so they needed guys

7 of the Top 30 DTs may sound nice, but there are maybe 5-6 in that Top 30 who are legit. There isn’t some over abundance of DTs out there. Why do you think every decent DT who enters the portal gets offered by most of the Top 25 CFB programs?

And Prime will be lucky if even half of those guys return the following year. Or even make through the whole season this year.

The way I read it, they signed eight defensive linemen, not 15. Seven were in the top 30, and an additional defensive lineman was in the top 50.

Lsu needed DT, but schools like Miami are in win right now mode. Mario hasn't been what they thought he was so far. And they sold out in the portal and over paid.

I don’t know the number but I would have been much more confident in our roster with a Walter Nolan or Barrow or even a CJ West in the fold.

He was committed before our guys declared. Pretty sure he was committed before he went into the portal.

Me too. But its the same thing as Heard not getting paid. Is what your paying for the same value that you're return? Spending 7 figures on Barrow is like buying a Telluride for a Cayenne price. Its good. It may be better than what you have, but the price is too high for the return.

Why do you think we are so bad at DL? Do you know how many IDL we have?
