“That’s stupid,” Deion Sanders said when speaking about his daughter’s move to enter the transfer portal. Shelomi Sanders’ decision to say goodbye to Colorado’s women’s basketball team was a huge shocker to many since his father and brothers were the spirit of CU’s football counterpart. Prime’s comment only fueled the allegations further, sparking an alleged feud with daughter. However, now that Shelomi Sanders has taken her talent south after a year in Boulder, she and her father took time to silently quash the rumors of their ‘feud’.
The exclusive footage released by the PreGame Network came as a shocker (and the only proof needed) for the fans amid the rising tension between the two. All it took was a cornhole game to put it to the side. While aiming to get the most sacks through the goal hole, Deion Sanders and Shelomi Sanders shared a heartfelt father-daughter bonding moment. The smiles on their faces were enough to show the absence of any animosity in their relationship.
Deion Sanders, being the NFL triple threat and a head coach, had to win the game. His daughter, however, gave him a tough competition. This came after Shelomi’s major move to Alabama A&M, where she is already impressing head coach Ebi Ere, who called her a ‘workhorse’. The on-field and off-field grind continues for Shelomi Sanders at her new home, Alabama, as well.

Not only has Shelomi Sanders emerged to be the ‘different’ one in the family for not following the Colorado path. Since her decision to part ways with CU, Coach Prime’s disappointment levels have only gone up. So much so that he has yet to congratulate or appreciate his daughter for securing a spot in the A&M program. Her mother, Pilar Sanders, however, did not hold back on praising her daughter for her success.
Pilar Sanders’ on Shelomi’s success
Pilar Sanders, the mother of Shelomi Sanders, makes sure to celebrate whenever Shelomi has unlocked something big. So how can she not when her daughter managed to enter the HBCU A&M Bulldogs? Pilar Sanders made it a personal responsibility to heighten all the hype surrounding her switch. Sharing some pictures of Shelomi rocking the Alabama jersey on her Instagram, Pilar Sanders shared a heartfelt caption on Instagram.
“So proud of my beautiful babes! You have the courage, confidence, strength, and character to go anywhere, the drive to be the best and WIN. So happy you’re not settlin’,” the caption read. While Pilar and Prime stand strong on their individual opinions about their daughter’s choice, it is now in the hands of Shelomi to carve out her identity in her new base.
