Travis Hunter First-team AP All-America

[schuele]

Let me start by saying I think Hunter is a really talented player.

And end by saying simply, WTF???

C'mon, AP voters. Be serious.

I am still in shock at Nutmasher (or Robinson) not making first or second team all conference. I wouldn't be totally surprise to see one of them earn a squad ranking on an All American team.

I guess I don't see the probs. I thought he was pretty great.

That’s a good thing. Give them a chip on their shoulder for next year

He was great for two games - then got hurt, sat out for a month (understandably) with a serious injury, then was decent the rest of the way. Just not a first-team All-America season, by any stretch.

meh

I think most colorado fans feel that way.

 

[goldencohusker]

It seems like a given that he is returning to CU next season which I'm not sure I get if he is truly that special. Hunter's NIL figure is about $2 million. The top cornerback in this years' NFL draft got $32 million guaranteed for 4 seasons - seems that would be pretty tempting for him. What's the motivation to stay and keep playing for CP - less Rolex's in college vs the Pros?

 

[61bigredfan]

I guess as that Lineman that just Committed to Colorado said, he’s just trying to help someone that looks like him.

Which is, all due respect to everyone, the most racist trope I have heard in recent memory. MLK himself said people should be judged on the content of their character not the color of their skin.

Is that a thinly veiled attempt to slam me as a Colorado fan?? Haha.

A black player wanting to play for a black coach is racist? Good lord.

Yep. How would it look if a white player committed to a white coach because he said he wanted to play for somebody who looked like him?

Kind of sorry I started the thread, actually. The point I was trying to make is that while I think Hunter is a tremendous talent who might eventually deserve this kind of honor, AP voters need to base these selections on performance rather than celebrity. Didn't intend for it to devolve into another argument over Deion.

 

[VictoryRed]

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

When you consider that white head coaches make up 90% of the head coaching ranks In college football it doesn't take a genius to figure out. A white kid doesn't have to say that because there's a 90% chance. He's gonna end up doing it regardless.

Maybe, it’s obvious you have a crush on sanders.

He’s a true Sophomore, so he’s not eligible for the draft and he’s already transferred, so he can’t enter the portal again without sitting out.

 

[Headcard]

I guess I don't see the probs. I thought he was pretty great.

He’s super talented for sure. But he played on a 4-8 team with one of the worst pass defenses in the country and missed a third of the games.

I'm going with a good portion of the board has anti-stupid syndrome.

Colorado or Deion?

 

[Man Woman & Child]

Aren’t you the guy who referred to Deion Sanders as ‘Coach Primate’ or something like that?

Not me.

MSM would cancel said player.

Not me.

My apologies then. Someone with a similar handle had something about a monkey

 

[Huskers123456]

Can someone post the quote?

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

In the last week that program has landed arguably the number one offensive lineman in the country and they had one of their safeties named all american and somehow people on this board have managed to make it sound like a bad thing and that program is worse off for it.

How many you think will jump ship again next year?

Who are the other options for all purpose players? Did they stay healthy and play more than 2/3rds of the season? Did they get promoted for the Heisman after one game? He is ultra talented for sure. He is also fragile physically and missed multiple games.

Base on potential and a couple really nice plays, what is the stats that show he is the most worthy all purpose player?

 

[Big G20]

He’s an all-American at running his mouth during games.

I didn't see Texas play all that much, but Xavier Worthy (the 3rd team selection) caught 73 passes for almost 1,000 yards and averaged 17 yards on 21 punt returns. That seems like more of a 1st team resume than Hunter's.

 

[HuskAir]

I’m okay with this, as long as Elic Ayomanor is also on the 1st team AA list.

Travis Hunter is a great player, OK?
Here is the issue, for me, personally.

Deion gave a speech at JSU to his players about how they could use their scholarships to change the trajectory of their families by developing skills to “get a career, not a job, but a career”. That guy may write letters to help his graduating players get careers as lawyers, doctors, electricians, contractors. He might write letters for 20 years to an ex player who has lost his way. Let’s call that guy Coach Sanders.

Then you have the guy that allows his players to flash Rolexes at opposing crowds, challenge opposing coaches having prayer meetings, doesn’t get coaches to develop his OL, but just announces publicly he’s going to replace them with some 5 star who wants to help someone who looks like him, and says the same thing in public about recruits. Let’s call him Coach Prime.

I understand why any parents would want their sons to play for Coach Sanders. I don’t understand why any parent would want their sons to play for Coach Prime.

Good lord

He’s right. It’s not politically correct but…

I'm not sure he said that. At least I couldn't find that quote in the articles I read and no one has posted it as I requested.

OMG that would be just perfect if he didn't even say it. Hahahaha. I...and I slpet on this and now think

...I'm embarrassed of many posters in this thread . You have got to be kidding me that you'd have a problem with what he said, if it even turns out to be true...and if you do have a problem, that's a you problem. ..and if he didn't say it, you look even stupider...and if there was more than a handful of black head coaches in this sport it wouldn't need to be said at all.

As far as Hunter being named AA? I remember when the season was a month old, many people were saying Hunter would be the first non QB taken in the draft of it were held right then and there. It isn't like they nominated some bum.

Colorado...livin rent free in some heads around here.

It was a difficult search let me tell you.

He is a “dawg” all right….

Deion is an ***.

I read that as the kid quoting Deion but I could be wrong. Sounds like Deion is using race to recruit, which is fine with me. There are no rules in recruiting and a lot of parents see through his bs.
