Spring Ball Continues! - S2S Colorado Buffaloes LIVE 56

Opening & General Vibes (0:00 – ~1:15) Miles starts with a quick welcome to "Buff Nation," notes his mic was muted briefly, and plugs the show on the Voice of College Football Network.Reminds viewers to follow @ColoradoVOCFB on X (Twitter), check the podcast on Spotify/Apple/iHeartRadio/etc., and visit the Colorado Voice of College Football store (link in bio on X/Facebook).Casual chat about wild Colorado weather (91° one day, low 40s/50s the next) and excitement that spring ball is underway after the first full week back. Ralphie Report (Community/Off-Field Notes) Shador Sanders sighting: Former CU QB (and Coach Prime's son) is back on campus and attended practice. Miles calls it cool to see him supporting his dad and reconnecting with the program.Coach Marion's journey: Shares old photos from 2016 when Marion was a low-paid running backs coach living in a dorm (~$600/month, lining fields, washing uniforms). Contrasts it with his current role as offensive coordinator at a Power 4 program (after a G5 head coaching stint). Praises Marion's grind-it-out background and how it helps him connect with recruits who come from tough circumstances.Highlights Marion's high school days as a PE teacher/coach in Vallejo, CA (7 players, made playoffs, $38k salary, office in a closet). Calls it admirable and motivational. Pro Day & Former/Current Players 2026 Colorado Pro Day (March 31): Not open to the public. Participants include several familiar names from recent CU teams: Caden Salter (QB, draft-eligible; experience from Liberty; hoping to boost stock or find UFL/CFL path).Sincere Brown (WR, transfer from Campbell; noted for straight-line speed and frame).Xavier Hill (OL; solid pass-blocking grades).Others: Zai Krizler/Zarian McGill, Mana Taimani, Kareem Harden (possible eligibility question), Preston Hodge, Ivan Yates, Martavius French.Vontae Chenault (younger brother of former CU WR LaVisca Chenault) — highlighted as a cool legacy story; he requested to participate and was included. Best wishes to all for showing out.Danny Scudero stat (via Scott Proctor/DNVR): Led FBS in deep targets (20+ yards) with catches and earned a near-perfect 99.9 PFF receiving grade on those targets last season. Miles calls him an ideal fit for a vertical-shot offense alongside weapons like Cam Perry, DeAndre, JoJo, etc. Notes the offense will be more run-focused but will use deep shots effectively. Former Buffs Check-Ins Draylon Miller at Baylor: Seen returning punts (possibly with 5-star WR Taz Williams). Miles hopes he regains freshman-year momentum; CU will face him early in the season.Tawfiq Bayard at Texas A&M (wearing #4 under Coach Elko): Noted as physical and experienced. Miles expresses genuine well-wishes for most former players.Herman Smith (former safety, transfer from Idaho/Idaho State era): Playing for San Diego Force (IFL?) with 4 tackles and 2 INTs. Previously had a Raiders camp invite; good to see him still balling.General sentiment: Miles has a "soft spot" and wants ex-Buffs to succeed (and get recognized as former CU players if they reach the NFL). Leadership & Injury Notes DeAndre Moore Jr. (high-profile transfer from Texas): Currently injured and sidelined for spring ball, but highly praised as a natural leader in the WR room by teammates, Jason Phillips, and Shad Davis. Coach Marion suggested he could be a captain by season's start. Team is "very happy with him" despite the injury. Drama/Off-Field Commentary Up-downs/accountability: Defends a clip (shared by "College Football Transfer Portal" account) showing players/coaches (possibly including Larry Johnson) doing up-downs for mistakes. Calls the account "dumb" and "the TMZ of college athletics" for trying to clown CU for holding players accountable. Argues it's hypocritical—critics call the program "unserious" but then mock discipline. Praises the team for owning mistakes.Double standards rant: Compares coverage of CU vs. other programs (e.g., LSU allowing a rapper on the team is "sick"; same at CU would be called unserious clicks).Jordan Seaton (transferred to LSU): Discusses his comments about LSU "meaning more" and training differences. Miles' take has softened—he doesn't fault players for chasing what they think is best (including NIL/money). Downplays the "weight" narrative (Seaton said he was ~315 at CU, now ~305-307; normal off-season fluctuation post-injury). Wishes him well but notes the media training aspect and potential double standards. Shares Matt McChesney's perspective: CU fans need to own that last season's poor performance (3-9, leadership issues) played a role in departures like Seaton's.London Merritt (transferred to Clemson): Comments about facilities/coaching being "a lot better" at Clemson. Miles finds it frustrating/disengenuous given Merritt's prior stops (Ohio State → CU). Suggests it's media training/praising the new school. Acknowledges Clemson's history/facilities edge but notes CU's own championship pedigree (albeit ...
