It will probably be a while before we see real gains on the ground. However, Deion Sanders’ new look Colorado Buffaloes are already a hit at the box office.
According to Sportscenter, Colorado football sold out of season tickets for the first time in 27 years.
You can thank Sanders’ aggressive recruiting efforts for Colorado’s sudden ticket success.
Coach Prime has been particularly busy adding talent through the transfer portal, where he attracted 27 players – more than any other college program this year.
Headliners include two-way star Travis Hunter – the highest ranked rookie of the class of 2022 and Shedeur Sanders – Deion’s son and Colorado’s projected QB1. The Buffs also added the No. 2 overall recruit in the 2023 class – caused CB Cormani McClain to turn from Miami in January.
Before Sanders was hired, Colorado’s 2023 class ranked near the bottom among all Power 5 teams but now it is in 21st place in the nation.
Colorado’s first home game is set for Sept. 9 vs Nebraska.
