Ever since he became the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Deion Sanders has brought in quite a few high-profile players, particularly from the transfer portal. But it doesn’t sound like he has any sort of special sales pitch that he gives prospective players.
The Buffaloes will undoubtedly be looking to add more talented players out of the transfer portal this offseason. And as he recruits those players, Deion Sanders made it clear that he does not promise or sell anything to players during the recruitment process. All he sells them is the opportunity to compete and earn their place with the team.
“I don’t have anything to sell,” he said. “I don’t sell them dreams. I don’t sell them hope. I tell them everything they get, they’re going to have to earn. I don’t promise you a number. I’m not promising you a position. I’m not promising you to start. We don’t sugarcoat anything. We’re not babying you. We’re not going to hold your hand. You have 127 years of NFL experience up under this roof. It’s on you.”
Obviously, that approach seems to be working for Sanders given the caliber of player he’s brought in over the past couple of years.
