Coach Prime must be so proud of his daughter, Shelomi Sanders. She made the highly anticipated return to basketball this week with the Alabama A&M Bulldogs. How can she stay behind? While quarterback Sheduer Sanders is making waves with the Colorado Buffaloes, Shelomi only played for 10 minutes and made a significant impact by scoring 14 points. Her impressive performance included one rebound and one assist in a 96-50 victory over Oakwood.
Last year was very disappointing for the entire Sanders family. The buffs ended their season with incredibly disappointing performances at a 5-8 record. Do you believe that? But that is true. Similarly, Shelomi struggled with the Colorado University, making only one basket from a three-pointer in a game against the Air Force. As she has made a comeback, it would be great to watch her play moving forward.
Tomorrow is a big day for her. After making headlines with her performance in her debut, everyone now has their eyes on her. But the big question is, will she bring Prime and his ex-wife Pilar together at the Alabama game?

Buffs had the bye week and Prime made sure to use it wisely. He focused on practice but made sure he made his family feel special. Similarly, after Shelomi’s game, he took no time to appreciate her performance and let her know that she was making him proud. Deion Sanders took to social media and proudly wrote, “Shelomi Sanders balled out in her debut with Alabama A&M.” How can he stop there? He further referred to her as “bossy” which clearly highlights her attitude and personality.

On the other hand, her loving mother shared her excitement on Instagram by sharing highlights from Shelomi’s game. The short video she shared shows her shooting a perfect score. That must be so heartwarming as a mom. Pilar is often seen uplifting her sons and her post for her daughter shows the close bond she shares with her daughter.

Similarly, we have seen Deion acknowledging Sheduer and Shilo for their impressive performances. Him appreciating his daughter tells about the close-knit family dynamic. Buffs enjoyed their bye week and now it is time for the business. However, we are sure you would like to see Deion at the court supporting his daughter with Pilar. However, none of them have confirmed their presence; a little wait will answer our question.

Just not that, her strong performance also reflects the growing trend of top athletes choosing to play for HBCUs. She is an inspiration who might attract more talents and attention to conferences like the SWAC. Her return to HBCU also marks a significant impact not only on her personal success but also on her new team, Alabama A&M, and the entire HBCU sports community.
The entire Sanders family is inspirational. Shelomi is following her father’s and her brothers’ footsteps, which tells about her upbringing. Being the youngest daughter, we are sure Deion and Pilar love her a bit extra but their presence tomorrow will make things more clear. Will Deion support her from the stands despite his busy schedule?
