    Deion Sanders has MAJOR New Recruiting Rival in SEC

    A surprising recruiting rivalry is brewing as Colorado and Ole Miss go head-to-head for top Mississippi talent. With offensive line coach Gunner White leveraging deep Mississippi ties for Colorado and Ole Miss countering with staunch in-state recruiting, these programs are clashing over high-profile names like Ben'Jarvius Schumaker and Antonio Berry. Twitter beefs, rapid-fire flips, and cryptic coaching jabs have turned this cross-conference battle into must-watch drama. Stephen Willis and the Locked On crew dive deep into the saga: Was Schumaker's brief Colorado commitment a taste of things to come?  Can Ole Miss fend off Coach Prime’s bold new recruiting strategy, or will Colorado’s SEC invasions shake up the pecking order? Both sides analyze the stakes around player retention, NIL arms races, and the endless cycle of commitments, decommitments, and transfer portal intrigue. Is this the start of a long-term SEC vs. Coach Prime rivalry—or just a prelude to even bigger recruiting fireworks? With both programs aiming for top-two finishes in every battle and Mississippi's unsung three-stars on the radar, no commitment is ever truly safe. The hosts debate whether Colorado–Mississippi State recruiting wars could be next and spotlight why offensive linemen are college football’s ultimate prize in this unpredictable landscape.

  2. Everyone is WRONG About Deion Sanders and Colorado Before the 2026 College Football Season

    Everyone is WRONG About Deion Sanders and Colorado Before the 2026 College Football Season

    With both Colorado and Kansas State coming off disappointing campaigns, can Deion Sanders and Colin Klein engineer instant turnarounds in the new-look Big 12? Kevin Borba and Christian Rauh dig deep into how the Buffaloes’ radical offseason overhaul—highlighted by 50+ new faces and Brendan Marion’s explosive Go-Go offense—might finally ignite some fireworks in Boulder, despite a brutal 2024 schedule.  Over in Manhattan, anticipation surrounds Kansas State’s shift to Klein’s “new old school” approach after a sour 6–6 finish. Is the hype on Avery Johnson’s resurgence legit, or does the quarterback room face more growing pains? Both hosts dissect expectations, schedule breaks, and the pressure on Klein to hit 9 wins in his first season.  The duo then debate an eyebrow-raising Big 12 coaching power ranking that disrespects Deion at #15 and puts Klein dead last—questioning the criteria and weighing which coaches are set for a fall, or unexpectedly poised to rise, in 2024. Looking ahead to Big 12 Media Days, Kevin Borba and Christian Rauh examine what clarity needs to emerge from Colorado’s new leaders and Kansas State’s hopeful core, plus which characters (Deion? Joey McGuire? Dave Aranda?) are bound for viral headlines or the hottest seat in Texas. Can these two battered programs redefine their trajectories—and who will steal the spotlight on and off the field this summer?

    Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are shattering expectations, recruiting at a pace Boulder hasn’t seen in years.

Can the Buffs’ incoming talent translate to a stronger, more stable roster? Kevin Borba and Jack Carlo preview the key storylines for Big 12 media days—including Chris Marv’s defensive energy, the reshaping of the linebacker room, and how this revamped staff could be the catalyst for a breakthrough season.

    Jalen Ramsey Drops TRUTH BOMB On Florida State About Deion Sanders and Colorado Football

    Florida State legend Jalen Ramsey gives a stunning stamp of approval to Coach Prime, telling Colorado players that, if he were in their shoes, “it would have been no Florida State” — a major shot across the bow of his alma mater and validation for Deion Sanders’ culture-building in Boulder. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith unpack the significance of Ramsey’s remarks, how NFL stardom and mentorship have become hallmarks of the Prime regime, and why Florida State may regret not hiring Deion Sanders when they had the chance. With fall camp fast approaching, Colorado hosts a breakthrough leadership retreat on Coach Prime’s Texas property — creating unprecedented access for players to NFL greats like Jalen Ramsey, Shannon Sharpe, Chad Johnson, and more. Kevin Borba and Jay Smith debate the new culture-first approach, Prime’s willingness to adapt from his NFL ways and invest deeper in team bonding, and how this retreat signals a shift toward accountability and togetherness for the Buffs after last year’s late-season stumbles. The duo also breaks down Colorado’s Big 12 Media Day roster announcement: Six players, including vocal leaders, spring standouts, and Coach Prime favorites, make the trip — with Jay Smith and Kevin Borba analyzing what each selection means for playing time, locker room chemistry, and the program’s evolving identity. Can Coach Prime’s recalibrated culture and NFL pipeline propel Colorado to its best season yet? Did Jalen Ramsey’s endorsement just tip the scales for future recruiting? And will the Buffs prove the doubters wrong as momentum builds in year two of Prime? All that and more in this action-packed episode.

    YES: Colorado Beats out Big 12 Rival for ELITE WR Recruit

    Colorado Buffaloes surge on the recruiting trail with the weekend commitment of three-star wide receiver Ryan Ferdinand out of Palm Beach Lakes, Florida, beating out strong pushes from Cincinnati and Pitt. The 5’10” playmaker brings versatility, explosive after-the-catch skills, and fits perfectly with Colorado’s Go Go offense under Coach Prime—who continues to turn Florida into a key recruiting pipeline. With 18 commits, including standout four-stars like Lamarcus Jones and Andre Adams, Colorado’s class now ranks 35th nationally, reflecting a more developmental, retention-focused approach amid changing transfer and eligibility rules. Media Day rosters drop and signal a new era for the Buffs: a single quarterback, Julian Lewis, taking center stage confirms confidence in his QB1 status for 2024. Fellow leaders Danny Scudero, Zach Atkins, and defensive stalwarts Cree Thomas and Nate Mitchell round out the group, highlighting positional battles and a renewed emphasis on leadership and culture in Boulder as Coach Prime looks to flip last year’s struggles. Off the gridiron, Colorado basketball gets a shot of life as NBA Finals champion Derrick White steps in as president of basketball strategy and donates $2 million to Tad Boyle’s program. With talent development and resource investment lagging in recent years, White’s involvement aims to raise the program’s recruiting potential, facility quality, and national profile, answering long-awaited calls for support. Will the Buffs’ bold recruiting bets and newfound culture pay off on the field, and can Derrick White’s homecoming spark a long-needed turnaround on the hardwood? Locked on Buffs breaks it down as the new era under Coach Prime and Colorado legends takes shape. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    WOW: Everyone in college football is overlooking Deion Sanders and Colorado, Especially Utah

    Utah and Colorado brace for a pivotal Big 12 clash amid transformative offseasons for both programs. With Morgan Scalley stepping in as Utah’s head coach—preserving continuity while raising new expectations—and Deion Sanders overhauling his Colorado staff and roster, the stage is set for a high-stakes matchup between teams taking very different approaches. Can Colorado’s “Go Go” offense and revamped transfer-heavy lineup recapture early Coach Prime magic, or will Utah’s returning star Devin Dampier and a favorable schedule keep the Utes among the league’s elite?  Questions abound about Colorado’s offensive line and defensive rebuild, while Utah looks to overcome major turnover in the trenches but leans on a proven culture and dynamic quarterback play. Kevin Borba and JT Wistrcill debate bowl expectations for Colorado, Utah’s roster confidence, and the impact of key position battles—highlighted by former Utah backup Isaac Wilson’s fight for the Buffs’ QB1 job. With both hosts eyeing Utah as the early favorite—and acknowledging the unpredictable nature of Colorado’s overhaul—this episode digs deep into spring takeaways, schedule analysis, and what it’ll really take for either team to make noise in a loaded Big 12 race. Will Utah’s steadiness survive the transition to Scalley’s leadership? Is this the year Colorado turns transfer portal risk into reward? As both teams reload and launch into league play, all eyes are on their fall collision and the statement it will send across the conference.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/locked-on-buffs Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege #Colorado #DeionSanders #ColoradoBuffs #collegefootball  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
