About this listen

Opening & Show Format Welcome to Buff Nation; host Miles "Miles High Buffs" Thompson.Available on all major podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple, iHeart, Believe, etc.).New Monday episodes for better weekly content flow; store link in description.Quick recap of recent Friday show on why CU could improve in 2026 vs. 2025. Transfer Portal Addition: Sam Gadie (Edge/DE) New commit from Monroe University (JUCO) / former Rutgers (no game action there).From Trenton, NJ; Trenton Central HS (senior year: 70+ tackles, 8 sacks, 3 INTs as LB).At Monroe (2025): 13 tackles, 8 TFLs, 4.5 sacks in 6 games → highly productive.Size: Listed ~6'3", 235–245 lbs (gained significant weight/muscle; good frame for edge).Versatile (started as OLB, moved to DE); tenacious motor, bull rush, downhill play, stays on QB, good eyes vs. option.Joins crowded/improved CU edge room (Domata Peko Jr., Manny Ezeogu, Toby Anini, Yamil Tlaib, Vili Taufale, Lamont Lester, etc.).Had Marshall offer; 2 years eligibility remaining. Expected to push competition; not guaranteed starter but adds depth/momentum. Coach Prime/staff indicated more additions possible; CU often doesn't use all scholarships. Spring Game Hype (April 11, 2026 – Black & Gold Day) Annual spring game at Folsom Field (1 p.m. MT kickoff); part of expanded weekend with youth showcase, coaches summit, junior Buffs/field day.Weather historically tricky (Miles shares funny poncho/rain story from 2 years ago), but vibes currently high.Not a "real" game—expect loose play, standout moments (DBs often shine, e.g., past TJ Branch pick); focus on O-line/D-line reps and scheme looks.Keys Miles wants to watch: Julian "Juju" Lewis (QB1), go-go offense/multi-back sets, Cam Perry, Ernest Campbell, Quentin Gibson; offense prioritized over "pseudo" sacks.Defensive standouts: Nate Mitchell, Cree Thomas, Justin Eaglin, Santana Hopper, Ezra Christensen (if eligible).Bittersweet: Ends spring ball; no spring portal drama this year (roster stability feels good). Five months until fall camp—recruiting will help fill the gap.Miles will attend; DM @MilesHighBuffs on X to link up; possible pre-game content/recap on Monday show. Roster/Practice Notes Quincy Wiggins (DL): Moved inside to DT; now a "lean 295 lbs" (big jump from earlier ~250–265 range as edge/LB). Tools + quickness could make him nasty on interior. Positive buzz; this is his year to break out/NFL push.Ezra Christensen (transfer DL): No final eligibility update yet (still awaiting NCAA word); staff moving forward as if he'll be available for 2026. Vital interior piece if cleared—monster presence; huge difference with/without him. Optimism but lingering concern into spring game.Tyler Moore (nose tackle transfer, Coastal Carolina → CU): Standout in spring per teammate Dylan Manuel. Low prior production but intriguing size/motor; sophomore with upside at true nose in 3-4/4-3 looks. Name to watch.Quick shout to former Buff Terrell Timmons making plays at Memphis (good to see program alums succeed). Recruiting Focus (2027 Class Emphasis) Shift under Coach Prime/Box/Marion/Marve/Carter/Shad: More high school focus vs. heavy portal reliance in prior cycles. Performance on field will boost this.Quick 247 offers scan: Heavy activity at skill positions (Brendan Marion's wheelhouse—shifty 5'10"–6'1", 170–195 lb WR archetype for go-go/YAC); big bodies on O-line; top-100 edges/DL targets.Standouts discussed: James Harris Jr. (2027 Edge, Cy Falls, Houston, TX): Unofficial visit; put CU in top 5 (with Texas Tech, Miami, UNC, Vanderbilt). Strong production (70 tackles, 23 TFL, 7 sacks); called visit "amazing," praised Coach Prime/Helo hospitality; "If I had to commit today, I'm going to Colorado." June official visit.Andre Adams (4 QB, Antioch, TN): Recent visit with Prime/Marion; made top 6 (Kentucky, Virginia Tech, CU, FSU, Oregon, Mississippi State). Values honesty/relationships/development/NFL path—fits Prime's style perfectly. Dual-threat with accuracy, RPO fit, big-play ability; 35:1 TD:INT junior year. Strong CU momentum.Troy Milo (3 Edge, Mullen HS, Denver, CO): In-state target; positive unofficial visit; official visit soon. Strong junior stats (44 tackles, 16.5 TFL, 8 sacks). Emphasis on keeping CO talent home.Jackson Roper (4 IOL, Cherry Creek, CO; #1 in-state '27): Recent visit felt like progress; first in-person staff meeting. Views CU as changing in-state narrative; wants to be part of building through HS kids. Fighter's chance despite other interest.Khalil Taylor (4 WR, Pine-Richland, PA): Made CU top 6; high-upside shifty receiver (strong junior production). May 15–17 official visit. Penn State heavy favorite but CU in mix.Others noted: Kyron Haywood (DL, Denton, TX); Jaden Lindsay (IOL, MD—June 5 visit); Gabe Jenkins (S, PA—May 16 visit, trending Penn State); King Thibodeaux (DL—June OV); Caden Jones (QB); Kylan Bobo (RB); plus warm interests like Kingston Miles (RB), Brock Willis (Edge). Overall: Aggressive top-100 ...
