Deion Sanders’ Ex-Wife Pilar Stands Firm Behind Daughter Shelomi Amid Emotional Departure From CU Buffs

Deion Sanders’ daughter Shelomi Sanders is a familiar face in the Buffs women’s basketball team. The young guard didn’t get to play much this season. She only suited up for five games and spent a short time on the court, just 11 minutes. Despite that, she was a great teammate to the Buffs. She helped the team by scoring some points, grabbing rebounds, and cheering them on during their big wins.

It seems a hard decision, but Shelomi Sanders has left the team to join a different program. She recently said a tearful goodbye on social media; her mom even showed her support in the comments.

Recently, Shelomi Sanders, aka “Bossy,” announced her decision to leave CU Buffs on Instagram via a heartwarming post. She expressed “thanks” to her fans, family, and the Buffs for their support, captioning her post as “Blessings.” She also informed everyone that she’s decided to enter the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining. Meanwhile, her mother, Pilar Sanders, responded to it with heartfelt encouragement — “YOU GOTTA PUT YOU FIRST BABY!”

This comment from Deion Sanders’ ex-wife shows that her family always has her back. This will probably help her find a new basketball team with more play opportunities. However, it’s still a mystery why she left the Buffs.

They continued this streak even in the NCAA tournament by winning over Kansas State and Duke. Unfortunately, their winning streak ended with a narrow 68-69 loss to Caitlin Clark’s team in the Sweet 16.
