A player leaving doesn't automatically mean problems... there are too many external reasons why players choose to transfer

Damn I’m not gone lie I didn’t see this coming with Dylan.😢

I wish Dyland Edwards nothing but the best. I will definitely follow him on his journey.

Neely let me correct you...Alton's father made that statement and he came out and firmly and disputed that and said his father doesn't speak for him...he thanked coach Prime and everyone at boulder and I can imagine how difficult it must have been for that young man to speak against his father on such a huge platform so let's give him all the respect he's due on his exit.

Everywhere you go you must compete. We wish them the best as fans. It’s life!

I don’t believe that Dylan didn’t want to compete and there is more to this. It’s not like they would tell us anyway.

Y’all can say what u want about Neely ,but this interview ABSOLUTELY speaks volumes to why CP brought him on his team . Rather you right or wrong Neely gonna be team You !!

Buff Nation wishes everyone that jumps in that portal the best on their future endeavors💯 Trust in Prime and remove all emotional attachments to these kids due to the portal!

It is what it is. Gotta keep moving forward ✌🏼

Hate to say it but I saw this coming when Deion was making the team run extra laps for leaving towels on the locker room floor. These kids nowadays don’t react well to that old school stuff. You can get away with that at JSU but not with the athletes at the power 5 level. He will be out of college football within the next 3 years 😢

I can understand if Dylan left for a bag, but he has to know that he isn't an all purpose back, and would have played an important role, man, I'm just hurt 😢

Dylan competed. Can’t pin that mess on him.

Here go Neely gaslighting again. Saying “guys don’t want to compete” so that why they leaving. What about the RB from Ohio state? That would mean he didn want to compete either right 🤔🤔

Toly, move on. They left. Lots of wonderful talent.............. Go, Charlie!!!!

You cant mourn someone who wanted leave. Its alright we got the dawgs who want to compete. Period. Charlie really is that dude

Yo I haven't seen Cross Colours since I was a kid. I used to have mad cross colours gear back in the day. Shout out to Tolly for taking it back to the essence.

I used Copilot and it says Alabama lost 28 players to the portal. Colorado is at 31... I don't think this is a big deal and I expect this to be the way college football is from now on.

Some players don't want to share or wait these days, period, and that's cool. Some think they are more advanced then they really may be. Everything is not for most, so leave and find your spot...if you can. Each player is only as good as their last play, and each player is only one play away from their last play. The grass ain't always greener. And, more established football programs can still pay a lot more 'NIL' money. Best wishes to any player that departs until they cross paths with CU.

Last yr, chats talked trash abt Dylan but NOW he’s God’s gift. *MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!*

Coach has a open door. I wish Dylan would have spoken to him first before leaving, if he was not happy about something. 😮

I’m so sorry to hear Dylan is leaving

So you confirmed that coach P has favorites? lol yall funny as hell and proved the point that there are favorites

Dylan really should have stayed the course. To have Coach Prime as his personal contact, he had good future options. Not to knock him but he’s not big enough to go to the next level. Prime could have definitely helped him stay in sports with a different professional option.

All these young men will realize all of life is competitive. As for chasing a "bag", how much will any of these players receive from another school? Will it be life changing money that will mean they never work again? Hopefully, they'll find a good fit that will prepare them for life.

Dylan was a great piece to the puzzle at CU. I believe they will miss his talent.

That RB from OSU ain't running off nobody. That's crazy Neely.

Neely seems super defensive. Seems like Dylan Edwards exit was not as expected as stated,

So I guess that 3 star RB from OSU didn’t want to compete with that 96 rated 4 star RB OSU brought in from Oke Miss right? Or that only applies to Colorado players that leave?

Sports ain't fair. Sports ain't for everyone. Programs, Coaches, Athletes don't talk nicely. The closer you follow this Program the more the unathletic will fall off. If your sin ain't a DOG, don't send them to Prime and his staff. Their standard is different. They're pros. They're going to start attracting mercenaries.

Wow! Dylan couldn’t even have a conversation with Coach Prime about transferring!

Can't believe Dylan is gone! I did not see that coming. Shocked.

And of course you don’t get it. He wanted more touches. And seeing how cu is focused on padding Shadeur numbers. Dylan is a beast and I hope he lands on a good team. And sa is another good back. I hope he finds a good team that is willing to sponsor a scholarship for him.

Plus Dylan has time!!! He’s only a sophomore. Imagine the seniority he would have his junior and senior year, especially when Shedeur & Travis 😢leaves

Coach flee has to be held accountable Dylan should have been compensated period how do you loose 4 running backs

Imagine a world where Coach Prime had a young Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Michael Vick all on the squad. It's a simple math problem. There is only one opening for the starting quaterback and if all 3 are solid performers, who do you pick? Who do you bench? Certainly talent can take you so far and as good as one is, they still need to get their reps in and certainly that won't happen if they sit on the bench as a backup. It's not a disrespect to Coach Prime if someone feels they can better showcase their talents in a different team, different market and possibly get a better demonstration of their skills to a different audience. You can think of it as owning a hypercar, or in this case, multiple hypercars. They need to be driven and can't be kept as garage princesses. When you stack a team full of all-stars eventually something has to give if they want to properly showcase their talents to scouting agents. That is the name of the game.

I don’t like this smeer campaign he’s been on today, why not just keep quiet let them move on. They haven’t made any statement on why they left, address it when they come.

Ya’ll puttin’ in work today ‼️

With Edward’s leaving, informed me there’s player’s that feel they’re better off with conventional programs and not Prime’s. I tell you what, that Oregon Ducks Coach is a beast too, amongst others. Time is the biggest story. If Prime wins a Championship within 4 years. He’s right. If not. The players were right. Loved dat kid.

Just like the players have to compete for a job so do the programs they have to compete for players

Prime is used to playing with 53 men in the NFL so he's not worried about who leaves

Neely - why throw players under the bus all because they left CU. Remember , these kids are teenagers!

15:01😮 wow😢 no conversation. We all grow

I would like to announce that after watching this video I also have decided to enter the transfer portal and now will transfer from my couch to my bed where I will continue my night. To my Pillow I want to say We coming! 😂

I’ve watched two interviews today from Neely and unfortunately they both sound like damage control.

Prime thinking long term... bigger RB for inside game is the what buffs need long term...

Too much generalization. People leave for different reasons. Dylan has to be about money. CU’s collective is not where it should be. We saw that when they did not get Lundy from FSU.

I could see subtleties in the post game interview after the TCU game and especially as the season went on and the O line struggled…I began then to speculate would Dylan transfer

Not an all purpose back. = less carries.

I respect all the players that left but I don't think any of them will get a better opportunity they may get another opportunity but not a better one. I will track were these guys end up and the stats probably will be interesting to see.........

If Dylan Edwards is leaving, there are Problems!👀🤦🤔

Thank you Neely and Tolley for the excellent breakdown of CU news on TheePreGameShow! Wishing them the best! ❤

Serving In-n-Out after practice was a sign of things to come, no more Cali Burgers from here on out!

Thank you Neely for speaking the truth. Some of these people in the comments are way off base. They have not been where you have been and are being emotional and silly. As a former NFL agent, I can assure those people that they know very little about the business side of football. DE is no NFL starter. Coach Prime put him in a situation that was best for him, if DE wants to go to the NFL. Face it, DE is too small to block Anyone on D, pick up the blitz or run between the tackles or in the red zone. He can only be a 3rd down back at best in the NFL due to his size. He cannot even be on ST really. He is not a receiver because he wanted to be a RB. The NFL is now a passing league. RB is not a valued position. Can you imagine a RB complaining about not getting enough touches as a 5'7" 170lb. RB? DE does not respect CP or ex- NFL HC PS or other coaches. He should be taking advantage of being at CU that will get him an undergrad degree or masters degree and great connections so that he can be a CEO or upscale entrepreneur. He is missing out on the big pic. These youngsters don't get it but one day they will probably be sorry for the opportunity they wasted because they are selfish and unrealistic about the real world. Instead, they are sending out red flags to any team that would consider them. That is the real sad part about these players leaving. A Black man is trying to take many of these players to a better situation because he cares about the Black community as a whole, but these selfish people cannot see or choose to ignore the blessing before them. You and I are old enough to remember how hard we had to fight to get to where we are but many Black youngsters in present day America want to be entitled. They have no true cultural identity and that is extremely unfortunate. Stay strong Neely and I am glad that you're not a sellout and I know these people claiming that you are doing damage control could never even hold an intelligent conversation with you. I appreciate you completely and I will see you in person one day. Y'all keep doing what y'all do. I'm holding you down here in San Francisco.

They setting this up for Shedeur to win the heisman!! Ain’t no loyalty in sports, players hit the portal and get that 💰

I’m sure Neely feels hurt by this too just like many CU fans. He’s human and allowed to express his “ personal” opinion as a fan and content creator. When he’s being interviewed. . #3and#36 are my guys.😪I wish every player the best on their future journey🙏🏽 #SKOBUFFS

What crazy everyone spot is opening but 2 21 12 . Dub stardard did 21 do enough to keep his spot free?

Nil offers could dry up for players, not showing loyalty to a team 😮, the company’s may feel hesitant to invest.😮😊

I have no doubt that Colorado will be okay this season and will be bowl eligible and possibly in the 12 team playoffs. I hate that any of the RB'S left but as hard as it is to hear, most RB'S are replaceable. Dylan has a special talent and will thrive as well as the other 2 backs in the right system. However unless they head to a lower level, they will not be #1 on their next team.......

If Colorado has grabbed new players out the portal seems like the players in the portal didn't want to compete for their positions at their previous school

I think we have to be careful when being overly judgmental when young kids make decisions they believe are best for them. The assumption that they don't want to compete when transferring is subjective. Only the individuals themselves truly understand their reasons for transferring. If it's truly about competition, why not pursue some of the top quarterbacks in the country? Every position should have the best competing, including quarterbacks, to ensure the best player emerges. It appears that top recruits are sought after for every position except quarterback.

I wonder where Neely and Prime will go after Shaduer and Travis are no longer there?

CU has lost 41 players since the end of last season, half the staff and the entire 2025 recruit class, it is a worry so maybe we need to do less talking and let everything play out as it will.

I see Clemson ,Georgia, Norte Dame going after Edwards ! He want to compete for A National Championship CU, not there yet

At this point can’t question players what’s in Question is Coach Flea who lost his entire RB room and still has job security because when players mention favoritism an example is Coach Flea and Coach Hart 🤷🏾‍♂️

I sorta can tell by Unc Neely Attidue and tone that they’re piss that Alton and Dylan left … you can’t fake the funk unc

I am still not a fan of the running backs coach

3. Y’all are the ones perpetuating the favouritism narrative with the sanders boys with this constant Shedeur this and that. He is not a generational QB so stop it. And I ride with the sanders. He is good yes but his arm strength is still improving so he is not there yet. And no one is jealous of him or Travis so stop trying to drive this narrative with Dylan.

Not seeing a lot of receivers hit the portal. JS.

2. Yes we definitely lose something with Dylan. Speed. The scheme was designed with Dylan attributes factored in so stop making it seems like it’s not a big deal.

He’s practically begging running backs to come 😂 but like Coach Prime said, the transfer portal is just full of back ups without potential so they’re kinda screwed either way.

Shocking! What’s up with that? Were they disappointed by the competition coming in?

Now let me touch on some point you made that are disappointing. 1. You have known alto over a year now and coach said yall can be trusted so it bugles me that us outsider realised that Alto has little if any relationship with his father. And he puts a statement saying he doesn’t agree with that so for you to keep pushing this narrative doesn’t make you better than the trolls online.

We need get rid the coach (RB) flee … or looking into the staff cause it can all on the players ..his room has fallen within a week

Say that Neely!💯

Wow!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

As a coach it’s ok to find new players to upgrade the program but there’s nothing wrong about reassuring your main guys as well … that nfl atmosphere is not always best for young athletes.. they’re not in pros yet … coach prime can be creating a harsh environment and not be aware cause ..he never truly had time cf he might need to take different approach ..cause what point bring in dawgs that you can’t retain? You’re losing a lot in college tradition ! It’s speak a lot on program .. best of luck … cause that TE and RB room is down bad rn!

neely speaking the truth fr

Unc speaks facts!!! Love Dylan, and he will be successful but not sure NFL successful. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I know atleast 3 backs that doesn't want to play there

Why is he speaking for the coach?

His father made that statement he did not say that

Neely check too good

Neely sounds like he's taking it personal. I've never heard neely put out a negative narrative on players like he is now.

Was Dylan ranked in the top 10?

Is Neely an employee of CU? He doesn't speak like an independent journalist.

yall keep saying you got RB from OS but u not telling the people its a reason hes in the portal and its not cause hes good nobody in there right mind is going to come there and play bro stop it the NFl is pass happy league and running backs are not valuable anymore so you have to be the best and leaders of your team when you got alot of things like hight and strong ness already counting against you

Cmon Neely. Be real. The truth is, Coach Prime has created a freaking family environment. So what we will miss, are our most consistent on camera players. Alton, didn't say those things and he made a post to reject what was said by his parents. Cmon bro.

I've never wanted to say this, but yall DOING TO MUCH LETTING DILLON GO.. I'm done supporting yall.

There are some young women in boulder crying about Dylan leaving.

Let be clear unc still confused why they left … it’s just bunch hot takes at this point

Neeley & Tolley ..our boy Prime …putting us to the test …Let’s hope Deion does NOT FAIL like Michael Jordan did… juddeye

There must be an issue with how these players are being communicated with by the coaches. D1 players understand most top teams are 3 deep at every position.

Tell coach to get that young boy.

Some what true, but only 3 players have guaranteed playing time .

Don’t care how you spin it, you lost Alto, Dylan and Wilkerson.. and then you say they didn’t want to compete.. I call BS, something going on behind closed doors.

Losing a 5'-6" 160 lb RB... oh well, we got Charlie O & Mikah, Ohio State RB et at.! Sko Buff!

Everyone that left he just summed it up and told you why. Read between the lines🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm not happy that he ran from the competition thinking his spot is guaranteed elsewhere. Other programs are looking for depth as well. He and plenty others are so delusional. It is definitely his choice but I feel he made an bad emotional decision.

Now what’s prime excuse for this one

Real talk I’m prime all day but realistically we have to change coach flee I’m not saying kicking him off the team but it’s clear he’s not using them correctly 5to 6 running backs and how the heck are you going to loose Dylan this is not good the issues are the running back coach that’s the issue
