So you’re telling me Upshaw, the starter for a playoff team, isn’t an upgrade for your 1-11 team? The kid from ODU is better? Suuurree….

He's created so many roster openings that he would need to take 45-50 all of the committed (and future committed players) to Alabama and Georgia in the 2024 cycle. And have the NIL dollars to compete with those two schools, Ohio State, Texas, USC, Texas A&M and yes Miami. So sure, budget $75M for the 2024 class, $50M for the 2025 class, and oh yes, Deion can replicate the conditions on the ground for Jackson State and build a talent roster second to none in Colorado.

So yes, if Prime Time has $125M in NIL set aside for the next two high school classes, plus additional money put aside for transfers, he can outbid everyone and build a championship contender in two to three years.

Before NIL, even if everyone got the pre 2021 maximum ($300K), you were looking at an absolute total outlay of just under $30M for all 85 players.

Had Florida actually come through, they would have paid $13.85M to one player.

Colorado lost at least 63 players from last year's team. He had better have the all-time portal class, and Colorado's boosters better be ready to invest double what A&M put into their 2022 signing class.

This is basically 1989 SMU, but with the ability to sign more than 25 players.

He’s just going to replace scrubs with scrubs. Look at the three he got today. Bums on the last leg of eligibility.

Lets assume Deion does the impossible and brings in between 52-63 portal players this year. The vast majority of these will have 1-2 years of eligibility. Hard 25 IC count kicks in next year. He will likely be losing 35-40 players the next two years and only able to replace 25 of them under the best case scenario. This means a roster of 50-70 players for the foreseeable future.

There's a reason why coaches try to spread out positions over multiple recruiting cycles or you can get devastated at certain positions groups and have no overall depth. However, Deion likely doesn't care about this, the dude after him will have to clean up this mess when he jumps to the next rung in the ladder.

But Deion is so smart that roster management math doesn't apply to him.
 
CU’s top ranked transfer portal class is based almost completely on the players coming from JSU. The list of non JSU kids includes a reserve linebacker from Alabama, a couple kids from Kent and now a lineman from Tennessee who hasn’t played a snap.
