    UPDATE: Colorado Loses a 2027 Commit to Illinois
    Jun 17 2026

    Video Notes: UPDATE: Colorado Loses a 2027 Commit to Illinois Host: Miles Thompson (ColoradoVOCFB / Voice of College Football Network) Length: ~5:14 Date/Context: Quick update video following a commitment flip announced earlier in the day.

    Key Summary

    Colorado lost a recent 2027 running back commit, Stephen (Steen) Alexis, who flipped his commitment from the Buffs to Illinois just hours after a prior video discussing him. Miles emphasizes the fast-moving nature of modern recruiting, explains why the team is shifting video formats, and expresses confidence in the current and future RB room despite the loss. No hard feelings toward the player.

    1:09 – 1:53

    • Discusses implications and moves forward.
    • Alexis was a 3-star (unranked initially), picked up 3-star rating around June 12, and received a small bump upon flipping to Illinois.
    • Miles is not worried about the position: Strong belief in Kylin Bobo as the top 2027 target to fill the gap.

    1:53 – 2:45

    • Colorado has a solid pipeline of young running backs already on the roster.
    • Names mentioned: Cam Newton (not yet listed on spring roster), among others.
    • Philosophy: Don’t get overly attached to commits/rankings in today’s recruiting world.
    • Players may still enter the transfer portal even after signing/on campus.
    • Wishes Alexis the best.

      • Others not fully listed on the site (e.g., Cam Newton).

    • “I still feel very good about Kylin Bobo.”
    • “You can never get too stuck on players in today’s modern recruiting world.”
    • “It’s exactly why we’re changing things up here.”
    Analysis / Takeaways for Article Use
    • Tone: Positive and level-headed. Focuses on resilience and depth rather than dwelling on the loss.
    • Recruiting Context: Classic example of 2027 cycle volatility — even recent commits aren’t locked in.
    • Buffs RB Outlook: Remains strong with current roster talent + high confidence in Kylin Bobo as the primary 2027 replacement.
    • Content Strategy: Miles is leaning into shorter, timely update videos because of how quickly stories change.
