There's plenty of speculation, but until the reporting actually arrives, the reaction to the rumors may be just as interesting as whatever comes next.

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. We also get into a theory I've been thinking about: should new head coaches avoid building around former 5-star quarterbacks from the transfer portal? 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
