About this listen

 Opening & Show Format Miles welcomes Buff Nation and reminds viewers the show streams on podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple, iHeartRadio, Amazon, etc.).He promotes the Voice of College Football Colorado store and encourages chat engagement.Quick personal note: Classic Colorado weather (60s to snow to sun), Rockies game (obstructed view ticket story), and hiking.Originally planned guest Jack Carlough rescheduled; the show pivots to timely news. Key Shift in Show Direction Miles addresses feedback from the prior episode about program "drama." He acknowledges possibly missing context, admits being too logistical at times, and commits to keeping future episodes football-focused only—no drama. He thanks those who reached out (positive or critical) and emphasizes people-oriented growth while staying on-topic. Major News: Andre Adams Commits (April 14, 2026) 4-star QB Andre Adams (class of 2027) from Antioch High School (near Nashville, TN; originally listed as Colorado connection in some contexts but primarily Tennessee-based) commits to Colorado. Size: ~6'2"–6'3", 185 lbs (slender dual-threat build, similar to Julian Lewis).Chose CU over Virginia Tech, Florida State, and Kentucky.Stats highlight: Junior year ~3,418 pass yards, 35 TDs/1 INT (71% completion), plus 855 rush yards/13 TDs. Career totals ~7,500 pass yards/71 TDs before a senior season.Scouting: Elastic dual-threat with natural playmaking, quick release, accurate intermediate throws (more touch than pure arm strength), creative off-platform throws, extends plays with legs/edge threat. Fits RPO-heavy/"go-go" offense well. Not a finished product but promising flashes.Honors: Invited to Under Armour All-American game (as junior) alongside other top 2027 QBs.Rankings: Top-15 QB (Rivals), ~165th overall, top-7 in Tennessee.Impact: Boosted CU's 2027 class ranking from #76 to #58 (jumped Iowa State, BYU, Utah, South Carolina). CU now has two 2027 commits. Pipeline Context: Builds on Shador Sanders → Julian ("Juju") Lewis (redshirt freshman in 2026, expected to start) → Adams (arrives 2027 as redshirt sophomore, likely sits initially).Miles highlights Coach Brennan Marion's elite recruiting (connecting with players, painting development visions in the go-go offense). Recruits increasingly choose CU for the program/staff, not just Coach Prime.Adams cited genuine feel on visit, honesty about development (on/off field), and wanting a place that challenges him realistically (echoing stories like Jordan Seaton).Adams already recruiting in-state talent (e.g., tweeting about OL Jackson Roper staying home). Film Notes (Miles shares clips): Strong deep ball, but excels mid-range/over the middle.Quick decisions, accurate placement, option elements.High school supporting cast was modest (one notable 3-star WR commit elsewhere), yet Adams produced. Overall excitement: Strong foundation for post-Lewis QB future. Goal is retaining through signing day. Major News: Crawford Family Donation $6 million commitment over 3 years via Crawford Family Foundation (alum Jeff Crawford and wife Orsi). Half to Athletic Director’s Discretionary Fund (renamed George Family Athletic Director’s Fund after Rick George) — supports coaching, athlete identification/retention, revenue sharing, and flexibility in the evolving NIL/college sports landscape.Broader support for student-athletes (competition, academics, post-grad life) across CU Athletics, not football-only. Prior gift (2021): $5.5M+ for nutrition/facilities/student-athlete programs.Quotes from AD Fernando Lovo and Jeff Crawford emphasize family legacy (CU ties across generations), inspiring broader giving, and building a "village" of donors at all levels (not relying on single big gifts).Miles stresses this as community investment, not just "buying players." Encourages fans to contribute at any level (e.g., $10/month) to scale support. Other Topics & Ralphie Report Game Themes for 2025/2026 season discussed (with some skepticism on execution at Folsom—students/themes historically inconsistent). Mentions whiteout, stripe/black & gold, gold rush, military appreciation, blackout + drone show, senior/fan appreciation. Prefers consistent blackouts.New Hire: Kasey Byers as Senior Associate AD for External Relations & Brand Strategy (marketing, fan engagement, revenue efforts). Comes from New Mexico; positive nod from Jed Fish (Washington).Defense Notes: DC Chris Marv on Gideon Lampron creating havoc. Discussion on linebacker emphasis (Lampron, others like Tyler Martinez/Leona). Speculation on tackles leader (possibly LB again, or safety like prior years).Recruiting: Jaiden Kelly-Murray (4-star WR, recent South Carolina decommit): Official visit to CU June 19-21. Trending up for Buffs; Marion loves quick, sub-6'0" playmakers with hands/space ability.Quick hits: Christian Alexander (4-star RB) committed to Mississippi State shortly after CU offer (flipping discussion—risk vs. opportunity?).Other notes: DeAndre Moore ...
