The 5-Star QB Trap, Juju Lewis Reactions & DGG Recruiting

In today's Signal Lost, we continue working through the conversations coming out of Big 12 Media Days, including more reactions to Juju Lewis' viral comments and what they may say about Colorado's preparation and development.

The talent is obvious, but the expectations, previous development, fit, and pressure surrounding those players can create a completely different kind of risk for a new staff. We also discuss the latest DGG recruiting developments and other stories from around college football. #SignalLost #CollegeFootball #Big12 #ColoradoFootball #Recruiting
