“Off Right Now Man”: Cormani McClain and Omarion Cooper Reflect on Life Changes Since Leaving Colorado Buffs

The transfer portal’s spring window has triggered significant changes in the lives of many involved in college football. Notably, former Colorado Buffaloes cornerback duo Cormani McClain and Omarion Cooper have been profoundly affected. As Deion Sanders’ program faced a series of transfer announcements, the anticipation for positive outcomes was high. 

However, till now, they have been unable to witness any signs of positivity. They are adapting themselves to the changes, spending their free time video-calling each other, as McClain and Cooper did.

It’s time for some daily catch-up between McClain and Cooper

The YouTube channel SlowBuckzTV released the live session that caught McClain and Cooper in two different yet same frames. As the two former mates Facetimed each other to catch up on their daily updates, they broke some unknown facts. While McClain is seen driving his car while on a video call with Cooper, being asked what Cooper is doing now, the cornerback replies, “I’m off right now man.”  

The decision to enter the transfer portal has disrupted the daily routines of McClain and Cooper, who were once integral parts of the Buffs roster. In Boulder, their schedules were packed with practice sessions, leaving little room for leisure. However, the situation has changed drastically. Now, they spend their free time communicating or exploring potential programs that might be interested in recruiting them. 

The current situation of McClain and Cooper

McClain’s exit resulted in a huge drama as the player and his mother held Coach Prime responsible for not appreciating his talents. Later, there were speculations that Oklahoma, LSU, USC, Texas, Georgia, and Oregon had shown interest in landing McClain. Even though not much information is available about the other schools, YouTuber Mat Best confirmed from sources that the cornerback stands no chance as far as Kirby Smart’s program, Oregon, is concerned. Later on, ISmokeHiphop further gave a reality check on how McClain was robbed of the ability to pursue the schools he wanted, and his choice has been restricted between the programs that have pursued him.  

Even though not enough information hints at Cooper’s next spot, there have been speculations about why he left Sanders’ program. A fan commented that he did not want to compete, so he hit the portal, while others wished him good luck with his next step.

Amidst the transfer exodus, Deion Sanders refused to dim his passion. Instead, he assured the Buffs fans that Colorado football was good to go and urged them to trust him and the recruiting team. What awaits McClain and Cooper on the other side of the portal is now to be seen.
