What sucks is that Edwards was actually liked as a person

yea great kid

[@RyanSpeed-fi3cq]

Nothing surprises me concerning the team. Big picture, things are different now concerning college football. Personally, change is good and inevitable as in life. GoBuffs!!

[@thehfamily_]

Love the Buccees hoodie!!!

[@peteyBron23]

What the heck is going on?! We cannot win a championship if all we do is bleed our talent out and then blindly believe the portal is going to fix all of our problems. Winning teams retain and develop talent. We are not doing that. It is right to be concerned and it would be negligent to think otherwise.

[@MrSilus2000]

I mean his TCU rushing stats were 6 carries for 24 yards. Getting rid of Hankerson was worse to me. Now he’s gonna start at Oregon state

[@number1chiefROKKA]

This was the proper respect you pay a player that was showcased as one of the faces of the program. Dylan's loss is a major shock due to how ingrained he was in the program and how well liked he was/is. There is something more than "people don't want to compete" going on, and i am glad he was mentioned in glowing terms along with his family.

[@CaptainJax-g8m]

If Edwards thinks he's a RB1 then good luck Son. He would've thrived as an all-purpose RB2 where the real money is in the NFL. Coach Prime told us, during this time "You have to recruit your own players!" 😂😂

[@taronharris3610]

Funny because you was saying he’s rb1 when it came to Aston 😂😂😂a bunch of fans of celebrities

[@michaelcurd1923]

​@taronharris3610 there is a difference. Dylan is a prototypical utility back for pass plays and rb screens.

[@steveg2448]

Clown university fans are funny. You love all these boys when they are there but when they leave you say they suck. Y’all are a joke

[@MrSilus2000]

This isn’t a running team and Hankerson beat him out last year. You didn’t want Hankerson though now he might start at Oregon state

[@CaptainJax-g8m]

@MrSilus2000 Hank won't be the starter at Oregon St. I watched their spring game, and number #8 will start over him. These kids don't want to be patient anymore. Edwards' time to shine was this year. I hope he doesn't get his feelings hurt on another team. I think Prime gave him a real answer that he is the 3rd playmaker on the team, and he didn't like that honesty.

[@MrLee4love]

I said the same thing, a possible NIL 💵💵💰💵💰💰 might of been offered, so if was gets maybe $350K-$500K, but a school offers you a $Milli$, are you staying?

[@jo7246]

Would be interested to know if they actually get whatever has been promised and not tricked. Perhaps the goal was just to get them to leave the Colorado program.

[@trinitygillings5380]

In a ladies voice sounds about right..... Unfortunately

[@Scrillmob_Music_Film]

Edwards didn't have a 100-yard rushing game last year who gives a damn.

[@shallojalloh]

Neither does Dallan Hayden. He was RB3/4 at OSU and didnt get any burn last year

[@mitchwinder1204]

Bet dad and K-State came up with something.

[@brewtarski1]

Aside from the TCU game, Dylan was a disappointment last year. That said, he has upside in the right system, which I thought we were building towards. The most surprising thing to me was the supposed “special relationship” he had with Coach Prime. Not so much, it appears.

[@number1chiefROKKA]

Dylan was mishandled the entire year after TCU. Be was NOT RB1 size. The coaching staff decided to leave Smoke and Wilkerson on the bench. As bigger backs and better size to block, they were wasted in the running game. Plus they constantly put Dylan in on max protect to block!?!?! The good news this year was that they actually worked him into his best role. A slot receiver/RPO/change of pace back. He was killing out of the backfield in passing situation in the practice vidoes I saw. I was hyped about him and Alton behind this line. So I don't blame Dylan for his stats and performance. The coaching staff did not do anything to help him last year, but this year he was set up for a big year. Sucks that he left before it could happen.

[@user-bd3zy6wo7l]

​@@number1chiefROKKAthey only play 12 games. They won 4....u can't say besides tcu cuz he dominated 4 tds in that win......

[@donwoolley5763]

Only overshadowed by you, the negative media…Edwards was too small to be a running back…some of these kids are legends in their own minds…

[@MrSilus2000]

I mean he was a legend at highschool should he start believing he’s a scrub? Is that your secret to success?

[@leeboywonder7076]

As of today he is still on the roster 😏 and not the portal

Charlie deserves a scholarship

[@RubenGarcia-he7mu]

Charlie's parents are doctors, they can afford his tuition. He does not need a scholarship.

[@AlfonzeBear]

@@RubenGarcia-he7mu So because his parents CAN afford it they SHOULD pay for their grown ass son?????? If Charlies doing all he's asked and then some .. he should be on scholarship. Its shows your team that you take care of your people.

[@RubenGarcia-he7mu]

All he has done? Make welloffmedia highlights?He will never start nor rush for more than 200 yards in a season in Colorado. He is a 4th string back and will also be a doctor "Dentist to be exact." At the end of the day. He is a walk on for a reason. Colorado is bringing in better players at the rb position, just wait and see. Not giving him a scholarship helps Colorado get better.

[@seanstarkey445]

The problem is that people, just like you two, are giving the players something that they did not earn and are not reflecting who those players really are at their core. Why are you both praising the character of Dylan Edwards? You obviously did not know him well. Just because he smiles at you face to face and is likeable does not mean he is a person that you should be praising. It is sort of like the O.J. thing. People thought he was one way but he was the opposite. I am not saying that DE is a woman beater...but he obviously has issues because he is mad about not being the featured back or offensive option so he jumps ship. That is selfish and not being a team player. He should be happy to be getting a degree for free from CU and turning that into a long-term win for himself as a coach or CEO or a big time entrepreneur. He has all the connections to get an opportunity in the NFL from CU...but he doesn't care about the future and doing things the right way. It's better that he is gone because that is not the type of person that needs to be on the team. Charlie may not have all of the talent that DE has but he is a better person for a team and the community. That's what really matters in life. CU needs to get real players that believe in winning on and off the field. You two need to be more selective in your determination of team players that represent CU and the community in a positive way. I expected you two to be better than that because you know better or should know better.

[@arizonahascactus9697]

Can we just call NIL for what really is? PAYFORPLAY. Hows everyone feeling about the state of college football these days? Endless wave after wave of rental mercenary 1 year players with no end in sight? Will anyone fondly remember any of these players down the road like so many in the Crowder, Mac, Barnett eras?? Nameless 1 year players rented in hope to go to a minor bowl game?? Not one of these current day mercs will be able to tell you all the different schools they played for years from now. Why? Because CU was just a bag. Nothing more. Not their alma matter, not their passion. CU can't meet my demand for a raise? Fuck em. I'll hit portal and git me my bag elsewhere. I need a shower now. Makes me feel dirty talking current day college football. Yuck.

[@MrSilus2000]

Omg stop whining. Mercenary teams end up like mercenary armies. You can only win when there is rooted senior leadership. You can’t change that, even in the NFL

[@chatta6013]

Nah, not bad he had 0 running game, 0 power between tackles, was 2 short and 2 lightweight, couldn't block. He had 1 good game at tcu that was it and it wasn't even running. He was highly overhyped is all.

[@HappyGrouch]

*The staff needs to control the narrative of the players leaving. Dylan leaving is a big shot to the optics of the team. If the media gets to control what the public (including potential recruits and Donors) see, it can damage the growth of the program*

[@davisjohnson7691]

How? He’s 1 starter. We’ve only lost 1 starter in the transfer portal. A lot of schools lost several. The only difference is, our HC is a celebrity, so everything is blown way out of proportion.
