Walker waiting this long to enter really makes it seem like he would've preferred to stay here. I'd have to think he'll be getting some really big schools offering too.

I was thinking the same thing, figuring Randale would drag his feet and then eventually choose Sowder thinking he did the right thing, but by taking so long he will be left with nothing which is where we practically are at this point. Only thing that can save the mass exodus is if he somehow selects an influential coach from a power school that brings some plug and play skill guys with him. Whoever takes over will need a bunch of pieces, but most certainly needs to start with QB1.

I'm going to back track on this statement a bit. I've been thinking if we named Sowder the coach quickly we may have saved some of these transfers. But I think we have to see them commit to somewhere other than Colorado before I'll believe that. After seeing Sanders' comments to his new team where be straight up told them to hit the portal because he's bringing players with him. It sure seems like the plan is for he and Lewis to build a Jackson St Kent St hybrid in Colorado and us naming a coach wouldn't stop that.

But hey, on the bright side, I'm sure all the credits will transfer for these student athletes and they'll get their degrees on time.

Other than Cephas who is Sanders really going to take at Colorado? Schlee isn’t going and I’m sure Sanders thinks he can do better than our guys at the positions they are looking to fill.

I would think Cooper and Walker will be getting offers better than Colorado. So I would think they'd want them as well. I agree that Schlee won't though. Sanders already made it clear his son is the QB.
