Deion Sanders leaving Colorado for the vacant Texas A&M head job makes little sense for a number of reasons. Perhaps most notably, his sons Shedeur and Shilo Sanders would risk losing a year of college eligibility, assuming they follow their father to the SEC.
Regardless, Stephen A. Smith’s comments on Monday were enough to get people speculating.
However, during his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Coach Prime shut down any speculation that he’s interested in Texas A&M.
“Man, I want to win,” Sanders said. “I want to win a game. So you think I really do sit down and think about that kind of stuff? Like what strikes me about that, about myself, that you guys really think I sit down and say, `Oh, yeah, Stephen A., yeah.’ C’mon, c’mon. I’m good. Like, we gotta win. Let’s focus on this week.”
Later in the presser, Sanders also shared what he tells parents of recruits who are worried that he’ll soon leave Boulder. Class of 2025 four-star wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr. mentioned that as a reason why he decommitted from Colorado over the weekend.
“I tell them what I told them when I came: I’m here, I’m here,” Sanders said. “I tell ’em my mother’s here. My sister’s here. My dog is here. My daughter’s here. Three of my sons are here. My other daughter comes to darn near every home game. We’re here. I get mail here… I pay taxes here… I’m here. I don’t hear that. Maybe our recruiting staff here’s it, but I don’t hear it. I’m too honest with parents. I’m gonna tell ‘em the truth.”
