Deion Sanders is the king of the transfer portal

podcast May 17, 2023


Background
share close

Deion Sanders has absolutely nailed this offseason when it comes to the transfer portal, and his latest addition may be his best yet. Athlon’s Kevin Borba breaks down why getting the commitment of Houston running back Alton McCaskill is vital for the success of the Buffs in 2023. I also break down why landing him officially makes Deion Sanders the king of the transfer portal if people had doubts that he wasn’t already. The former Cougars star instantly can come in and be the best back on the team and also gives the Buffs what could be the best backfield in the conference.

8:24 Colorado’s transfers have been the subject of discussion throughout this entire process, but on Tuesday Deion Sanders was able to land a commitment from one of the best players in the class of 2024. That’s right! Despite being so focused on the portal this offseason, Coach Prime has been putting in work on the recruiting trail. The Buffs landed the two-way star out of Calabasas, Aaron Butler. The four-star top-100 player was once committed to USC and had programs like Georgia and Alabama after him.

14:57 Lastly, I dive into the latest updates on Pac-12 expansion. For months we have been speculating as to what the conference is doing, and we finally got some clarity. I break down how and why expansion should and could be happening soon, while also diving into what teams the conference could be adding. I also discuss who the Big 12 is after, as there again appears to be some competition going on between the two.
