00:00I'm going to take a step back and take a look at players currently in college.

00:04We'll continue our spring game wrap-up.

00:07Those programs that are finished with spring football and college football.

00:11I'm going to hit four teams today if I have the time.

00:13First off, Colorado.

00:15Coach Prime, new era.

00:17No Shador, NFL.

00:19No Travis Hunter.

00:20First round, NFL.

00:22So it's a new era in Boulder.

00:24Going to be interesting to see what Prime can do with a really overhauled roster.

00:29He continues to do a good job in terms of the portal.

00:32Quarterback, what we saw this spring is you have the old and the new.

00:36The old is Caden Salter, former Liberty quarterback.

00:40Talented dual threat.

00:42The new is Juju Lewis.

00:43Five-star.

00:44Looked like he was headed to USC and Lincoln Riley.

00:47Now he's at Colorado.

00:48I think Prime will go with the older quarterback.

00:51Start with Caden Salter.

00:52What we saw with Juju, still a little bit unbalanced, erratic.

00:57Young, that's to be expected.

00:59So Colorado set at six and a half, by the way.

01:02Regular season win total.

01:04Now Texas Tech, one of the buzziest teams this offseason, and for good reason.

01:08Joey McGuire, their head coach, continues to do a great job with the portal.

01:13Retooling that roster on both sides of the ball.

01:15Eight wins last year.

01:16Regular season win total.

01:18Scott set at eight and a half.

01:20What I saw this spring, Barron Morton, their star quarterback, sat out shoulder surgery,

01:26but it looks like he's going to start throwing as early as this week, possibly next week.

01:31So I think Texas Tech will be fine.

01:34Going to be a fun team to watch all season.

01:36Now Michigan, heading over to Ann Arbor.

01:39Remember, we talked about young quarterbacks like Juju Lewis.

01:42Last week, we talked about Keelan Russell at Alabama.

01:45Bryce Underwood, the era for this young quarterback, looks like it's going to begin.

01:50Ups and downs.

01:51Again, we're always going to see that with true freshman quarterbacks.

01:54I think Sharon Moore goes with Bryce Underwood.

01:58I think he's going to start over Mikey Keene, the Fresno State transfer quarterback.

02:03But what I saw that really stood out for me, Scott, defensively, again, NFL draft, we're

02:08seeing Mason Graham comes off the board, Will Johnson, Kenneth Grant, stars.

02:13It's going to be next man in.

02:14Derek Moore, the edge rusher, I think he's been phenomenal throughout the month of April.

02:18He and TJ Guy off the edge.

02:21Michigan continues to lose players on defense.

02:23They're going to be fine.

02:24Going to wrap it up with Houston.

02:26You're probably going to get tired of hearing me talk about the Cougars throughout this offseason.

02:30I love Willie Fritz, one of my favorite coaches in college football.

02:3330 years as a head coach, back-to-back losing seasons just once.

02:38Houston went 4-8 last year.

02:40I think they bounced back in a big way, under, over, set at 5.5 for regular season win total.

02:46Love the Houston Cougars and their new quarterback, Connor Wegman.
