The 2026 recruiting cycle has not been kind to Coach Prime and Colorado thus far. With Deion Sanders dealing with his health issues and away from Boulder all summer, the Buffaloes have had to work from well behind in the recruitment process for most of their top targets.
Currently, Colorado ranks No. 78 in the 247 composite for the 2026 class. They have two 4-star commitments in LB Rodney Colton Jr. and S Preston Ashley, but the Buffs have taken quite a few L's on the trail the last few weeks, particularly as they look to add some offensive playmakers.
