The class will be part of Sanders’ third major roster makeover at Colorado. The Buffaloes are moving on without two of the program’s brightest stars: two-way standout Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son.

“It’s tricky,” said Adam Gorney, the national recruiting director for Rivals. “You sort of have a hello/goodbye process. He’s building a culture now.”

– Do you think Coach Sanders’ balanced approach of high school recruiting and the transfer⁢ portal ‌will ⁤be sustainable in the ‍long term?

**Host:** Joining us today is Adam Gorney, national recruiting ⁤director for Rivals, to discuss Colorado’s 2025 ⁢recruiting class.⁤ Adam, thanks for being here.

**Adam Gorney:** Thanks for having me.

**Host:** Deion Sanders is known for his dominance in‍ the transfer portal, ⁢but this year he seems to be focusing more on high school recruits. Can you tell ⁣us about Colorado’s ⁣2025 class?

**Adam Gorney:**‍ Absolutely. Colorado’s 2025 ​class isn’t‍ huge in terms of ‍numbers, but it’s definitely⁤ high⁣ on quality.‍ They secured 14 commitments from some incredibly talented ‌high school players. ‍This class builds on the foundation laid by two‍ strong transfer portal classes, showing ​that Coach Sanders is taking a more⁢ holistic approach to​ roster⁣ building.

**Host:** It’s interesting that you mention a⁢ holistic approach because Colorado is⁣ losing some ⁢big names, like Travis​ Hunter and Shedeur Sanders. How does this recruiting class fit into the bigger picture for ​the Buffaloes?

**Adam Gorney:** It’s definitely ‍a transitional period for Colorado. Losing star players like​ Hunter and Shedeur Sanders is never easy, but Coach Sanders seems to ‌be embracing what he calls a⁣ “hello/goodbye process”, continuously building a new culture around the program. This recruiting class is a crucial part of that strategy. They can’t ‍just ‌rely on the transfer portal⁢ forever.

**Host:** Do you ⁣think this signals a ⁣shift in strategy for Coach ​Sanders, moving away from relying solely on the transfer portal?

**Adam Gorney:** I think it’s definitely a more balanced approach. The transfer portal ​will⁢ always be a tool, but building a sustainable program requires developing talent from the ground up. High school recruiting is ‌essential for that.

**Host:** This class ranks in the top ⁢40 nationally. ⁣What does that say about the direction of Colorado football?

**Adam Gorney:** It shows that Coach Sanders’ vision is attracting top-tier‌ recruits, and that Colorado is becoming a destination program. They’re no longer ⁢just a pit stop for talent looking for a quick opportunity. This class suggests that brighter days are ahead⁣ for the ‍Buffaloes.

**Host:**

Adam, thanks so much⁢ for your ‌insights. We’ll be watching Colorado closely this season.

Do you think Deion Sanders’ approach to prioritizing both high school recruiting and the⁤ transfer portal will ultimately lead to sustained success ⁤at Colorado? Why or why not?
