Deion Sanders offered the Colorado job- Official Colorado season thread
- Thread starter Big Tex
- Start date
Cam Coleman is a very talented receiver, He initial flew under the radar because he was a reserver last year. Now he is a 5 star. He is committed to Texas A&M but there is smoke that he is waiving , Word is that he will visit again which is huge and Prime may get the last impression before he decides which makes a huge difference
Now this could be a major flip. He is currently committed to MSU but when you look at his response in the video, he has mentioned views and ratings of the Buffs game. The kid new the exact numbers. That is telling. He took an unofficial visit and now he is scheduling official visits. That’s huge that he wants to go back. Georgia is someone to watch and I think it may come down to GA, CU and MSU
This is why Danny hates Deion
Go to 1:44
(Gotta view on u tube and TimeStamp isnt working)
The program literally went least watched to the most watched over night due to prime. Crazy
The bond he has with his kids is priceless
And these networks trying to stay connected to themThe program literally went least watched to the most watched over night due to prime. Crazy
the winning helps....The program literally went least watched to the most watched over night due to prime. Crazy
Cormani McClain and Omarion Miller earn Colorado playing time the old-fashioned way
Highly recruited freshmen sat on the sideline until coach Deion Sanders decided they were ready to play.

Highly recruited freshmen sat on the sideline until coach Deion Sanders decided they were ready to play.
BOULDER, Colo. — Freshman receiver Omarion Miller, a four-star recruit from Louisiana, didn’t catch a pass in Colorado’s first four games because he struggled to learn the playbook, and coach Deion Sanders didn’t like his practice habits.
Freshman cornerback Cormani McClain, a five-star recruit from Florida, didn’t play a snap in Colorado’s first three games, partly because Sanders didn’t like his practice habits.
See, Sanders refuses to indulge his players.
He demands players prepare and practice to the standard that helped him become a Hall of Fame player. If they don’t, they sit until they do — and it doesn’t matter how many stars a player has next to his name coming out of high school.
He’s swayed by performance, not reputation.
Sanders refuses to be held hostage by the transfer portal like some coaches. The environment he’s created is not for everyone. He only wants players who love the game — liking it isn’t enough — and want to chase greatness regardless of whether they achieve it.
Sanders is admittedly old-school. All he promises recruits is opportunity. Well, McClain and Miller finally received the opportunity they craved on Sept. 30 against USC, and each took advantage of it.
McClain didn’t have a tackle, but he had a pass deflection. He had an apparent interception negated by a teammate’s pass interference penalty and a fumble recovery negated because officials ruled the play dead.

Miller caught seven passes for 196 yards and a touchdown. He made three spectacular grabs: A one-handed grab for 43 yards, a sliding nine-yard catch for a touchdown, and a 28-yard toe-tapping grab along the sideline.
“Everyone wants to be him until it’s time to be him. Now, you have a chance to be him. Let’s go. Show me or get off your box,” Sanders said this week. “Based on what I see in practice, I know what I’m going to see in the game. You can’t do it in the dark and think you’re going to do it in the light. It don’t work like that.
“Those two young men stepped out and kind of separated themselves from their yesterday. Their yesterday was terrible. Today, they established themselves, and we want them to build on it. Because now, we will establish an expectation for them. I’m proud of them.”
Miller, 6-3 and 185 pounds, struggled with the playbook like many freshmen while competing with veteran receivers such as Jimmy Horn Jr., Xavier Weaver, and Tar’Varish Dawson for playing time.
“He’s long, and he has deceiving speed because he’s a long strider,” receivers coach Brett Bartolone said of Miller. “He’s got great body control and ball skills when he has to high point the football.

“I didn’t want to put him out there until I felt like he was truly ready. In the last couple of weeks, he had truly started to develop great practice habits and more trust in the quarterback. Going into USC, he knew he was going to play, and when his opportunity came, he did his thing.”
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders doesn’t tolerate mental errors. He’s as hard on his teammates as the coaches. He has no tolerance for receivers who aren’t where they’re supposed to be when they’re supposed to be there.
Miller and McClain each needed to adapt to the speed and tempo of practice. Coach Sanders often says he treated practice like games so that games would feel like practice.
“This is a tremendous transition for a high school player being the guy, and everywhere he walks in, people are clapping for him,” Sanders said. “Ain’t nobody clapping here unless you do something. That’s the nature of the game and the nature of the land.
“The thing that those young guys have going against them is you got a pro quarterback, and he’s not going to tolerate foolishness, not running your routes at the right distance, and not getting the right checks. That cripples young kids.”
Part of the preparation is studying videos. Sanders gets a weekly report from his assistants that shows him how much film each player has watched on his iPad. If he doesn’t believe a player has studied enough, he’ll bench him.
McClain did not dress against Nebraska after he missed a team meeting. A week after playing sparingly in a blowout loss to Oregon on Sept. 23, reporters asked Sanders what would allow McClain to get some playing time.
“Study, prepare, be on time for meetings, show up to the dern meetings,” Sanders said. “Understand what we’re doing as a scheme. Want to play this game. Desire to play this game. Desire to be the best in this game — at practice, in the film room, and in your own free time.”
Now, Miller and McClain have shown how they can help Colorado, which is 3-2 and needs wins over Arizona State and Stanford in the next two weeks to solidify their goal of making it to a bowl game.
Now, it’s about managing expectations.
Sanders challenged Miller to play even better Saturday night against Arizona State. So did rapper Snoop Dogg. He FaceTimed Sanders, his friend of more than 20 years, and asked to speak with Miller.
“Oh, my God,” Miller said when Sanders handed him the phone.
“It was crazy. He was just telling me to keep working. It’s been very fun. Every app I open, I just see myself.”
For McClain, it’s about practicing with an urgency. Wide receiver Travis Hunter, expected to miss at least two more games with a lacerated kidney, coached him on the sideline during the USC game.
He sees the skill set, and he wants McClain to dominate.
“When Cormani gets his things together — he’s so talented — and he’s ready mentally to compete every single play, I can’t wait.”

Hunter wants to expedite the time frame. Before each play, he’d indicate whether USC’s receiver would run a slant or an out from the sideline.
McClain made his best play in the third quarter when he broke up a slant at the end intended for USC wide receiver Brenden Rice, son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, with his right hand. McClain used perfect technique to knock the ball down without interfering.
“He’s still a young player, and he has a lot to learn. I was letting him know what I saw. Every time I told him something, he listened, and it worked out good for him. I knew some of the routes halfway through the game,” Hunter said on his Twitch stream. “They only ran a couple of routes.
“They weren’t trying to attack him over the top — they did that one time — out route or slant. They kept him on my side so I could talk to him. Every ball. Every snap. Once you make one play, you gonna fall into your groove, you got this. Don’t worry about what anybody is saying about you, just do your thing.”
That’s all Sanders has wanted McClain and Miller to do all season
Y’all need to post better content tho
See post like this ain’t it. The thread is damn near 90% photos and post about attendance, ratings and hardly anything about football.
We post the same recycled videos and stats
Moving the goal post lol
Not being happy just to be there. Being bold enough to do it his way no matter what.
The Arizona State game today will be interesting. ASU offense is ranked 109th in total offense. ASU ranked 122nd in rushing and 60th passing.
On defense ASU is decent and ranked 53th in the nation.
If the defense has trouble with stopping ASU’s offense then this game could come down to the wire. With ASU’s offense being so poor, this should be a good week for Colorado’s defense.
Colorado offense is ranked 35th which is quite the accomplishment when you consider they have no running game. I would be highly surprised if they would struggle in the game.
It basically comes down to the buffs defense as this is a very winnable game
