Will Coach Prime and Colorado add another running back before the 2024 season?

On today's DNVR Buffs Podcast, Jake and Andre share their thoughts on Rashad Amos flipping from Colorado to Ole Miss. Which running backs should Colorado target in the portal and who would fit the current running back room the best? We will be getting another commitment later today at 6 pm, is it another running back? A #WeWantJuju movement has started on Buffs' Twitter. Colorado football sells out their season tickets for the second consecutive year. IMG cornerback Major Preston includes CU in a top 6 and is scheduled to commit on July 1st. Pete Thamel criticizes Coach Prime and Colorado's portal approach again and much more.

I agree, Kam and Drelon Miller are not only fast but very dynamic and both has played running back and receiver. If people were excited about Dillon Edward's, just wait until you all see Kam with the ball in his hands this season.

[@terrancerobinson9744]

UCLA coach just said they will build through the portal, high school is like the draft and Portal is free agency but no national media has ran with that

[@Shelly_R]

In other words, UCLA is copying CP's approach. CP has said and executed the exact same thing since Day 1 at CU. Imagine that....

[@thatguybill34]

Yessir

[@fidamadotte3367]

Coach Prime saw it coming. We are good

[@LA-011]

Kam mikell #2 athlete in nation make him your percy harvin (not saying he's that level) but hes special immediate impact player top 5 fastest player on team day 1..

[@shorespetaccommodations8797]

He has to come in and learn from A guy like Wester and he will be extra special next year

[@josephwalker9566]

Prolly top 3

[@LA-011]

@@josephwalker9566 agreed I was being generous to the others

[@bigreg4096]

Sorry Kam playing defense not offense unless he changes his mind. He said he going to make coach prime forget about cormani. He would make the perfect Free safety for CU so Shiloh can move back to strong safety

[@LA-011]

​​@@bigreg4096we will see he will play where he is needed

[@LTW-KOBE]

ohio st. running back is better anyways. still have welch, charlie, and hardge wasnt bad in spring game. also got the hood brothers coming (3 in total) and the 3rd one we just got is also a running back (plays defense too) so 2 of them play rb so well be fine

[@shorespetaccommodations8797]

Hoods are 2 brothers and a cousin 1 linebacker (cousin). 1 Cb older brother. 1 RB younger brother.

[@LTW-KOBE]

@@shorespetaccommodations8797 oh okay i saw someone on twitter calling all of them brothers but i do know the linebacker plays running back as well probably not what theyll use him for but he does play both sides

[@intrusivethoughts27]

Drelon is a wideback he literally said he modeled his game after Debo so he’s definitely an actual can give a change of pace

[@anthonysteel7515]

In the RB room, how much depth are we really trying to get? With Hayden, Offerdahl, Welch, Sarem, Hood (x2), I believe their production will be better than last year.

[@dominiquestrickland3075]

They was good Amos but he’s going to ole miss now . Need another dog Rb now

[@pamelaallen9149]

T-Cal from Buffed in Prime was saying we don’t have real college experience in RB room. Charlie had to the most & has 37 snaps in college total.

[@jasonlewis5350]

Hayden has 130 carries in two years. I think that’s more than 37.

[@anthonysteel7515]

I also believe that the RB position is the one position that can be done without prior experience. Freshman have been doing this for years, just think about Alton who was a freshman.

[@RusselManoha]

Dont forget brandon hood?

[@Shelly_R]

CU and CP are reinventing the approach to the portal. CP is more in tune with the player perspective rather than the typical college coach approach. As he has said a million times, the NFL teams deal with a new roster every single year. He has been consistent that he is remaking CU In the image of the NFL. Other schools and college coaches cannot duplicate nor execute his approach for obvious reasons - gold jacket, connections, relationships with NFL owners, etc. I actually believe these other coaches believe that CP has had enough glory with his entire football career, and that CP does not deserve any more football glory. Therefore, they believe he does not deserve to excel in coaching. That is just too much football excellence for CP for them accept. JEALOUSY.

[@jasonlewis5350]

Bingo! Most coaches are known for their egos, but they’re more insecure than egotistical.

[@Ron-vo1fx]

Pray we pick up more RBs guys to meet expectations in 2024 When we choose to run the ball, we have to be affective, with no excuses, we have to be affective run stoppers also. Coach Prime get another RB, Go Buffs!🎉

[@CooperHearne]

Dre, Charlie can be a good RB2! But you do want depth behind him cuz he has been fairly injury prone.

[@professormichaellemaire8801]

June 21st The summer solstice in the mountains -- Mmmm mm mmm mm mmmm. Just get the recruits here then let the mountain scenery do its thang.

[@jackeeg]

Dre, call it.. The Prime Formula!

[@jakebattley1200]

They need a veteran RB with in game experience pass blocking on 3rd down. True freshmen struggle the most in pass blocking

[@josephwalker9566]

That’s what Hayden for

[@jakebattley1200]

@@josephwalker9566 Hayden should be getting the bulk of the carries. Don’t really want to be using him just to block

[@thatguybill34]

*Yes Colorado will get another running back.*

[@Ron-vo1fx]

I suggest CU pickup at another all purpose back and another skat back to shore up our running expectations. Leave nothing to chance, coach Prime,Go Buffs!🎉

[@pamelaallen9149]

Maybe the portal doesn’t have good ones left. Amos flipping late puts us in a bad position

[@MoreCheddaPleaz]

Isaiah augustien from arkansas runs like alton mccaskill but hes fresher we should hit him up

[@stevethomas2022]

All these guys that you are talking about have to fit ,as we have seen , alot of the guys that bailed on CU didn’t fit what Coach Prime is trying to do there .

[@ZAYREED_TV]

Do y’all see a world where if Alton wants to come back CP will let him ?

[@jasonlewis5350]

Good question. I’m not sure, but based on the send off CP gave him, it could be a possibility. That’s IF there’s any way to do so. Not everyone is an Amos that commits to 3, 4, 5 different schools in one offseason. But the rules have changed for this year so we’ll see.

[@LA-011]

Amos and JuJu nothing the same not to mention he's just a high school kid and timing is everything Amos flipping right before summer camp, portal window closed now...

[@bayodaman]

So happy the Nuggets lost the way they did 😊 you guys have been shitting on the Lakers all year. It was only right you guys lost the way you did 🤣🤣 now back to the Buffs lol

[@Shelly_R]

I second that emotion!! LOL
