Hold onto your bats, baseball fans, because the Colorado Buffaloes are shaking things up! The team just announced they’re on the hunt for new coaches, signaling a major shift in direction. With several key positions open, all eyes are on who will lead the charge as the Buffs gear up for a fresh start. It’s like a new chapter in a thrilling novel, a page-turner waiting to unfold. But here’s the twist: can this exciting new era truly begin without the ‘Sanders’ name getting involved? And speaking of Buffs, Deion Sanders Jr. has already thrown his hat in the ring, making a personal request as Colorado begins this coaching search.

Deion Sanders had a legendary baseball career, playing for teams like the Yankees and Giants in the 90s. Meanwhile, his son, Deion Sanders Jr., has built a strong social media presence. But with the Sanders name synonymous with Colorado, Deion Jr.’s passion for sports is no surprise. Bucky’s pumped for the Buffs Baseball—but not for the reasons you might think. He just hit X, saying, “Can y’all please get an extra jersey and jacket for me whenever y’all order clothing?” Classic Bucky move!

Since last year, there’s been a lot of buzz about the Colorado baseball team making a comeback. Given that CU hadn’t received any funding for the sport since 1980 and hadn’t fielded a team since it seemed like a long shot. Especially after a fair share of sports—like baseball, wrestling, swimming, gymnastics, and diving—were cut. But with Deion Sanders at the helm, that dream is closer than ever. True to his word, he declared, “We’re going to command so much money for this University that we’re going to add a baseball team.” Not only did the team get formed, but they also went on to become the 2023 NCBA Mid-American Division champions!

Back in September, the Colorado Buffaloes Alumni Association made a power move, electing a fresh slate of officers for the 2024/2025 board, filling every role from president to secretary. And now they’re on a mission to find a new head coach for the baseball team. That’s the kind of run Coach Prime talks about.

Let’s know about the squad assembled so far: Andrew Garcia as president, Nathan Hoffman as VP, Thomas Klein as treasurer, and Spencer Kaczmarski as secretary. Well, can’t wait to see who’s next to join the team and make an impact! Speaking of support, Deion Sanders Jr. always steps up to back players, even beyond his team, just like he did for Cam Skattebo after his tough game.

Even if Deion Sanders Jr. is officially not part of the game, he has always been an active part of everything that goes around it. Moreover, if you strip away the fun banter and jokes, Deion Sanders Jr. has always been real with his thoughts. Whether it’s defending his brother Shedeur Sanders after the BYU loss or showing love to players outside his team, Sanders Jr. is all about support. Remember how rough things got for Cam Skattebo after his tough game against Texas? Sanders Jr. stepped up and had his back. Real talk, real support.

We all know how miserable the situation escalated for Cam Skettebo after his poor performance against the Texas Longhorns. But Sanders Jr. came out and supported him. Despite Skattebo’s best efforts, Arizona State failed to secure a win, and did fans leave him without any drama? Nope! Now cameras captured him throwing up on the sidelines, and to clear up the air, Cam said that he drank a little too much water and Powerade. But fans weren’t convinced. Some were already criticizing him, accusing him of staying out late the night before the game, calling him a clown, and whatnot.

But then Deion Sanders Jr. chimed in and had Cam Skattebo’s back. He posted, “You at the top, my brother. They gone do whatever they can to dim your light. Keep going! F–k them people.” That’s the kind of guy Sanders Jr. is! You know, it’s gotta be a credit to Coach Prime’s parenting—he clearly raised his kids with strong values.
