Pilar Sanders is the biggest cheerleader for Shelomi

As a rising star in women’s college basketball, Shelomi now plays as a guard for the Alabama A&M team, and her mother Pilar has been her biggest cheerleader throughout her journey at the new school. One notable instance of this support was Pilar’s May 23rd post on Instagram. She shared a video clip of Shelomi in action during practice, a month after her transfer announcement. The caption read, “We got things to do,” highlighting her desire for Shelomi to prove herself. Similarly, Pilar had previously posted about Shelomi’s first day of practice at Alabama A&M with her new coach. Pilar captioned it, “Meanwhile… we work…..,” as a sign of her unwavering support for her daughter.

One of the main reasons Shelomi broke Deion Sanders’ tradition of “all kids under one roof” was her challenging experience with CU women’s basketball. Despite averaging 16 points per game and redshirting at Colorado, Shelomi faced setbacks. She sustained a thumb injury during preseason practice, which sidelined her for the first six games. During her tenure with the Buffaloes, she recorded a season-low of two points on 1 of 4 shooting and didn’t get much playing time due to her redshirt status.

Now, having transferred to a new school and embarking on a new chapter in her career, Shelomi’s fans are hopeful that she will shine brighter on the court.
