About this listen

 Intro & Show Format (0:00–1:25 approx.) Casual, handheld mic setup (Miles sitting further back for a relaxed vibe).Standard plugs: Follow @ColoradoVOCFB on X for updates; podcast available on Spotify/Amazon/iHeartRadio/etc.; check the Colorado VOCFB store (link in description/pinned).Theme: "Happy Monday, Buff Nation" — lots to cover after a drama-filled but exciting spring. Ralphie Report: Former Buffs & Lighthearted Updates Dre'lon Miller (transferred to Baylor): Interview highlights his desire to "go home" to Texas. He's excited, bringing energy, and will face Colorado early in the 2026 season (around Week 3). Emphasis: Not everything is about NIL/money/facilities—sometimes it's about home. Miles is genuinely happy for him.Ryan Staub (former CU QB, now at Tennessee): Highlighted a nice ball from Staub in Tennessee's spring game. Tennessee fans/Twitter noted him as one of the most exciting pieces; he reportedly played well in the QB mix. Shout-out and well-wishes for him winning the job.Nikhai (or Nikai) Hill-Green (former CU LB, went to Alabama): Met with Jacksonville via Zoom. Miles asks chat: Did going to Bama help or hurt his draft stock? (Mixed chat responses—one viewer said it "hurt" but boosted TV exposure; Miles notes he was visible at CU too.) Glad he's getting NFL looks and could reunite with former teammates.Levonta Bentley (former CU LB): Signed with St. Louis BattleHawks (UFL); professional debut with 6 tackles (3 solo), 1 TFL. Wearing #51—good to see him balling after sitting out.Javon Antonio (early Coach Prime-era player): Re-signing with DC Defenders (UFL) after solid 2025 stats (18 rec, 212 yds in 9 games). "OG #4" in the Prime era—happy he's still getting chances.Tyler Brown (transferred to James Madison): Praised Coach Prime heavily ("can't thank him enough," great 4 years). Miles calls out media for ignoring positive former-player quotes that don't fit certain narratives, while amplifying negativity. Staff & Program Updates Offensive line room addition: Grant Hammer (offensive analyst) now formally helping in the OL room alongside Andre Gerard, Gunnar White, George Hedgerman—the "four G's." More eyes/coaching = positive for development.2026 Schedule tweaks: Homecoming moved to Oct. 3 vs. Texas Tech (traditionally a high-attendance, energetic game—students/parents show out; needed for atmosphere vs. a tough foe).Houston game moved to Friday Night Lights (Nov. 13)—expect a packed, sold-out Folsom (potentially over capacity). Get-back opportunity after prior result. Positive quotes from Brennan Marion (OC): Very confident/excited in the offense; expects it to be "very explosive."System is "foolproof" in language/play-calling; best staff he's been on for buy-in.Weapons ("big humans") can all "hit home runs"/score on one play; RBs running with physicality/toughness.Enough base offense installed (plus specials) to run a full season already. Last year felt "handicapped" as a caller—feels different now. Coach Prime quotes/trust in staff: Trusted Marion during his brief health absence (blood clot-related). Shift toward CEO role while empowering coordinators. Marion seen by some (including Miles) as potential long-term successor. Secondary praise: Cree Thomas as CB1; Boo Carter as elite athlete making plays. Recruiting Buzz Juju Lewis (incoming QB1): Not ranked on one dubious top-FBS-QBs list for 2026. Miles pushes back hard—expects Juju to "shock the world," reach his #1 HS QB potential, and elevate the program. High expectations; disrespect will fuel him. (Mendoza mentioned as another name on the list who played sparingly.)Andre Adams (4-star QB, 2027 class from Tennessee): Strong momentum toward CU. Postponed commitment, recent Boulder visit, Rivals crystal ball to Colorado. Dual-threat stats highlighted (high passing/rushing production). Potential "Juju successor" in the pipeline—exciting for long-term QB development alongside Kaneal Sweetwyne/Isaac Wilson. Miles considering an emergency pod if he commits (decision April 14).Jaden Baldwin (3-star WR): Put CU in his top 5—momentum could build with Adams. Spring Game Takeaways (Miles attended) Overall vibe: Fun, fan-focused event (not a "real" game—vanilla schemes, limited live tackling, no big hits). Goal = get fans in stadium, show support, build energy. Score was close/low (one TD, FGs); Juju-to-Danny Scudero highlight noted.Standouts: Defense impressed (Boo Carter flying around, blowing up plays/screens/runs; Rando strong; secondary looks solid under new scheme—more free/aggressive).Juju Lewis: Solid overall (some overthrows/out-of-bounds, but nice throws + option scrambles).Interior DL: Santana Hopper disruptive (quickness, backfield penetration); Toby Nene flashes; Samu/others.Other: Leona Leaf, Nate Mitchell/Rando safety duo ("feed families"), Mojo Williams pick, Tyler Martinez stop, etc. Atmosphere: High energy, team bonded (photo of locked-in huddle shared). Tribute to Dom Ponder. Coach Marion ...
