The unfortunate news of five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan pledging to Alabama undoubtedly hit hard for the Colorado faithful. Despite Coach Prime and his staff's ardent pursuit, which included a recent Boulder visit and positive whispers, Morgan ultimately opted to remain in-state. Kevin Borba dissected the repercussions for Colorado's 2026 recruiting class, especially considering the hopeful pairing with quarterback Julian Lewis. While this is a clear setback, the discussion probably pivoted to the broader recruiting blueprint and how the Buffs can still assemble a formidable roster. They'd stress that one recruit doesn't define an entire class, and Coach Prime's charisma continues to draw top-tier talent. It's a stark reminder of the uphill climb against college football's entrenched powerhouses, yet the Buffs remain fiercely competitive for elite prospects.
