The tide that has been sweeping over the name of Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes seems to be turning the other way around. The coach has been involved in allegations claiming that the HC has been quite brutal in telling some players to declare for the transfer portal. However, Shaun King seems to be backing Coach Prime, much to fans’ dismay.

Deion Sanders, the coach for the Colorado Buffaloes, was called out by Xavier Smith and Cormani McClain over his harsh way of coaching and how he created an environment in the team that revolved mainly around “clicks.” Now that both players are looking to build their nest elsewhere, the former QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers chimed in with his own contradictory opinion about the players who quit Colorado.

On the 3rd May episode of the Coach JB Show with Big Smitty, Shaun King is now the newest addition, and he debuted by being a part of the discussion that revolved around the Colorado coaches telling their players to enter the transfer portal. Though the fans and the media have been rather sympathetic towards the claims of Cormani McClain and the others, King came out with his own opinion that implied that they made their own decision and now must bear the consequences.

Coach Jason Brown, who is more often termed as one of the biggest Deion haters, was talking about how unfair it is for the players to be ejected this late into the season. To which King replied by saying, “Now you got to deal with the other side of having that available. You wanted to be a big boy, now you got to put your big boy pants on and deal with big boy repercussions and consequences.” These players are facing a dilemma right now since they’re left with the option of fending for a better team, but with more and more NFL analysts coming out in support of Deion, things will only get harder for their college football career.

On the 3rd May episode of the All Facts No Brakes with Keyshawn Johnson show, he went on to talk about Deion and how Shedeur’s stock for next year’s draft will remain undisturbed despite the hate. He said, “Now this is all part of the Deion hate. This all that is they gonna do that. It’s a Deion hate. Shedeur gonna be Shedeur, bottom line and he’ll be one of the top players off the board when his time comes.” Thus, Johnson believes that Shedeur will be the next big QB in college football even though the youngster didn’t manage to earn himself the top spot within the 2023 class.
