Carter Stoutmire is certainly a rising star within the Colorado’s program:
After a solid sophomore season, Stoutmire was bound to get some interest from other teams this offseason if he had entered the transfer portal, but it seems Virginia might have tried to get in contact with him even if he never wavered in his commitment to Colorado.
Ultimately, Virginia’s apparent attempt to lure Stoutmire into the portal didn’t work as he’s still a Buffalo heading into the thick of spring practice. Of course, the spring portal is still open for a few more days, but it seems like Stoutmire is staying put this offseason.
Colorado is coming off an impressive turnaround season that saw it finish 9-4, falling just shy of reaching the Big 12 championship game. The Buffs have a lot of talent to replace this offseason, namely two-way star Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders, both of whom are projected top-10 picks in the latest mock draft from Bleacher Report’s Scouting Department.
The Buffs haven’t been nearly as active in the portal this season as they were a year ago, but they still managed to land a talented quarterback in Liberty’s Kaidon Salter and a handful of other pieces.
