If Deion Sanders and Colorado are going to dig themselves out of the Big 12 recruiting cellar for the 2026 cycle, it's going to take some flipping of committed prospects. The Buffaloes have missed out on quite a few of their top targets for this class, most recently watching 4-star ATH CJ Sadler choose Bill Belichick and North Carolina over Coach Prime's Colorado.
Despite the rough sledding so far, there's still nearly four months until the early signing period, meaning there's plenty of time for Sanders to work his magic and convince prospects that Boulder is the place for them.
