Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have a ton of work to do this offseason after a miserable 2025 season that saw the Buffs go 3-9 and just 1-8 in the Big 12. That work began this week with the Early Signing Period closing on Wednesday.Despite multiple recent decommitments from the class over the past month, the Buffaloes signed 10 recruits to a letter of intent on Wednesday morning as they look to salvage an otherwise very underwhelming early signing period.The smaller group is ranked just outside the top 100 at No. 104 and ranks last in the Big 12. Usually, Sanders’ led programs will add more during the transfer portal in early January, which is expected to happen, but this is by far the worst December signing day output in his three full seasons at the helm.Potential flips should always be considered with Sanders, but so far, no dice, even if there have been some rumblings.So what is the latest news, and who has signed for the Buffaloes so far?
