I'm gutted as I cared for the kid but I don't know if he'll find another coach who actually cared for him beyond the game like Prime didn't. He will need that degree because the NFL is not promised to anyone. This is the one kid I'd hate to see become a typical stereotype.
McClain had too much going on and I think Prime got tired of it. Late and missing meetings. Not going to glasses. Have not practiced since the week before spring break. I believe there was a discipline issue. I hate to see him go, but maybe he needed a fresh start. Best of luck to him.
Bye. He didn't have it in him to endure the challenges to be great. Prime gave him every opportunity, now he wanna go somewhere that has lesser corners and hope he can reset himself. Why? He wasn't going to start again this year. 5 stars in HS doesn't mean you'll be great in college.
You were probably all over cormani nuts when he came to Colorado but now bc he wants to move forward to a better situation for himself you in yo feelings?
I feel like CU wasn’t the best fit for Cormani. Once he feels at home somewhere he’ll correct the mistakes he made at CU and I believe he’ll have a successful football career. Losing him feels unfortunate in the moment (I was excited to watch him & Trav) but he & Prime can both succeed without the other so I wish him well on his journey 🙏
Great comment bro real talk I don't understand why Colorado stans feel they have to tear down every player who chooses a different path for themselves, Colorado stans act like they winning and have the room to talk crazy
Let’s keep it simple.Excluding potential, let’s say the Buffs just loss all of the production from McClain’s freshman season, what does the 2024 Buffs lose?
OVERRATED, NO WORK ETHIC , SLOW FEET, ALWAYS LATE , DONT PARTICIPATE IN CLASS , NOT IN SHAPE, DONT KNOW THE PLAYBOOK, DONT FIT THE CULTURE, AND GOT HIS SPOT TOOK ‼️‼️
DJ was GIVEN a spot! He couldn’t TAKE anything at Oklahoma State though? What’s the reason he didn’t crack that starting lineup for good after 3 years in college already? if it was taken then he took it from Omarion Cooper. Cormani played the last 3 games cause he “had to due to depth” remember
This is DJ’s 3rd season, he’s a sophomore this year…but he definitely finished the season with numbers as if he was starting. He finished with the best numbers in the DB room at OK state. I agree that he didn’t take Cormani spot because Cormani was never the official starter and they moved cooper to safety before DJ committed.
Coach Prime is a disciplinarian. I don’t want to say that not having a strong male-figure in the home has anything to do with Cormani’s circumstance. There have been many athletes who’ve come from single-mother homes that have gone on to be great in their respective sports; even to being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I just get the feeling that Cormani has been surrounded, coddled and guarded by enablers and yes-men throughout his career. I’ve seen glimpses of his potential to be great. I wish the kid well, honestly. When Coach Prime said, from day one, that rankings don’t mean anything to him; he meant it. Talent without discipline has a short shelf-life. Kobe Bryant (R.I.P. Momba) was IMMENSELY talented. But he would always say that he practiced and trained like he didn’t possess any skills at all. That’s a true winner’s mentality. People are saying that going back home and playing for a team closer to home might be better for Cormani… perhaps. But that may also mean that he would have easier access to the very enablers that probably contributed to his character as it currently is. Again; I wish him well.
Great source for Buffs news! Sometimes good news and other times bad news. Have you ever disclosed any of your background? Do you live in CO? CU Grad? Just trying to get an understanding of your interest in CU Thanks again for what you do!
I think buddy was overrated cuz how tf he aint beat nun of the dudes that was in front of him 😂😂😂😂 i mean them dudes was trash how he couldmt take that position i seen Lattimore take cb position his freshman year to think he gone take a spot from another school 😅 come on now straight goofy
2:58 lol Idk about travis sitting back to learn the system…he was recovering from an Achilles surgery the 1st year at JSU, that’s why he didn’t play not because he was trying to learn the system lol
If you watch well off media prime constantly ask players are they getting enough reps because everyone wants to be "that guy". If he wants to be a starter he needs to play like it. Obviously he didn't so he left.
I had a sense of him leaving last season Cormani’s is not mature enough for this program leaving is the perfect thing for him. I believe he thought he was another Travis until it came time to put in the work this is a reason Coach Prime don’t load up on high school recruits the freshman maturation process, another reason IMG academy athletes are so appealing they come college ready
Keep yo head up young lion I can't wait til cormani proves the haters wrong. He'll have success b4 colorado have a winning record under coach prime now get mad bout that to
I truly hope so. But if you know him, you've got to be honest with him. Skipping classes, missing reps, showing up late for practice, are all signs of someone who is uncommitted. Sure he has the talent, but hardwork beats talent any day.
@@cmapit3220 see that's the crazy part about this whole thing prime, Colorado and the media got y'all thinking all those things are true man youngin ain't doing all that and even if it was true why continue throwing youngin under the bus instead of getting him right? Prime full of ish strait up
@honestlyspeaking905 what reason would Prime have to lie? He's already accomplished everything these kids are aiming to achieve. He's not supposed to shield a young adult from his consequences. If they're asking him constantly why he's not playing, he has a duty to be honest. Hopefully he's successful wherever he lands next.
Shacarrie richardson? Yea she a screw up too Huh????? With your logic colorado wpuld have lost deon sanders to the portal if colorado and sanders had coached developed the young deon sanders..... get it right make ur self make sense.
He didn't want to be there anyway! If you looked at him during the videos you could tell he was not into it, he looked bored, not used to working, u can tell he had it made in high school.
"MCCLAIN'S GRADE OF 51.4 ON 279 SNAPS BY PRO FOOTBALL FOCUS IN 2023 RANKED WORST AMONG CU DEFENDERS THAT PLAYED MORE THAN 136 SNAPS.".. his production on the field wasn’t worth all the drama he came with. He can transfer but that won’t change what’s inside. A bad attitude. Little does he know NFL GM’s take note of this when players get evaluated. Next to his name will be “hard to coach”
Best thing he could do for his future. Get out of that toxic environment while he has a chance. The coach literally didn’t know his starting centers name at a presser.
This is where it gets tricky He may have been enticed just to hurt CU. It’s a game and many know how to play it. Coach Prime had relentless tried to give these Players game. One thing they will sure find out. Cormani never proved anything to anyone. His Mom had the audacity to tweet go where You celebrated not tolerated, that in itself is a tell, tell sign. This is College not HS, period. Not a good look but wish Him well. So everyone can stop asking and hopefully He’ll learn. I heard SC looking at Him if He thinks CU was hard He in for a ruled awakening.
@@MsAngel0812 yeah his mother sounds like some of those typical mothers who coddle certain behaviors. Overall I don’t think he’s a bad kid but I believe Cormani hasn’t been corrected by his father while growing into a young man on a consistent basis. Had he been chewed out by his pops day in and day out this probably would’ve went differently. The discipline would’ve translated over.
Those 5 stars went to his head. Cause If Travis Hunter did it then all Cormani had to do was follow his lead. Simple
Good, he was more of a distraction then an asset.
The writing was on the wall when prime signed them 2 Florida cb from highschool
I'm gutted as I cared for the kid but I don't know if he'll find another coach who actually cared for him beyond the game like Prime didn't. He will need that degree because the NFL is not promised to anyone.

This is way more of a big name loss than production loss.
Unfortunate. Wish the young man the best

If Coach Prime couldn’t make it work, who can? Best of luck to the kid.
Someone who’s gonna kiss his ass

If prime cant do it lmao what the fk has prime shown so far 😂😂😂😂😂 fkn joke

He didn't want to work on his craft, class work were great. He has to grow up and fast.
Best of luck to cormani many blessings
Let’s keep it simple.Excluding potential, let’s say the Buffs just loss all of the production from McClain’s freshman season, what does the 2024 Buffs lose?

@@jcchambers7896 I’m not saying he isn’t have the potential because he did but for me, I don’t see much of a work ethic. His workouts are light

I JUST SAW CORMANI AT EMCC TALKING TO BUDDY STEVENS.
Not a loss... when he was in he was getting cooked left and right. I'm sure he has talent, but also has zero work ethic...
Good luck to Cormani, but a lot of big name players from other teams enter the portal. Sometimes, its not a good fit and will thrive somewhere else
Cormani is either going University of Michigan or Miami.
Dude, he wasn’t very good !!
So who was good in the secondary for the buffs last season? Name em
Have you seen the Washington State game?
Come on to Tuscaloosa😂😂
Saban wouldn't want him either so yeah take him😂
