The heated tensions between the Colorado Buffaloes and the now departed Cormani McClain continue to escalate. The former 5-star signee recently announced his decision to exit Coach Prime’s team and has been facing a storm of backlash since.

Cormani McCalian, the former cornerback for the Buffs, played only one year for the team before entering the transfer portal. He played in nine games, with being a starter in just four. Recently, he talked about his dissatisfaction with the Buffs and said, “I feel like I just don’t want to play for the clicks. I actually want to be involved with a great leading program that’s going to develop players.” Looks like the Buffs’ players have taken it too personally as both Shedeur and now Travis are out taking shots at McClain’s exit.

In a shocking turn of events, Travis Hunter joined hands with Shedeur to add more to his words about Cormani McClain’s sudden departure from the team. Shedeur recently tweeted on 23rd April and called out the young cornerback for the Buffs. He said, “Everybody that’s in is in and Everybody that’s out been out. Trust me we Good Regardless. #Legendary

Now, Hunter has also hopped on the McClain bashing express as he quoted Shedeur’s tweet and wrote, “WE GOOD #skobuffs.” What’s interesting to note is that Hunter is rarely ever active on X, indicating that he also seems to hold sour feelings for McClain and his recent criticism of Coach Prime’s team.

McClain took a subtle shot at the Buffs by saying that he doesn’t want to play for “clicks” anymore, words which seem to have rubbed Shedeur and Travis the wrong way. Despite this, it looks like there’s no bad blood between Deion and McClain’s mother as the two had a brief interaction on social media recently.

It was sure an unheard notion for a player to denounce the great coaching under Deion Sanders and choose to leave the Buffs, despite their minuscule success. Though McClain’s decision to leave came unpredicted, it still baffles fans as to why he chose to opt out of the program. However, it doesn’t seem to affect Deion Sanders as he wishes nothing but well for the talented youngster.

On April 19, Kaishay tweeted, “Cormani has no one working under him or for him, he & I will be contacting the coaches directly!!! Thankful for all opportunities 🌹And to @DeionSanders & the buff nation 🦬 you guys are still appreciated no matter what! No lost love here! God bless 🫶🏽

To which Deion reciprocated all the love and replied by saying, “Much Love Mama and I pray that all things work together for the good. ✅💯🙏🏾🏈” Thus, even though Deion has lost a valuable player from the team, he continues to be a respectful man towards McClain’s family and his future in football.
