While Shelomi Sanders Sets Goals Against Father Coach Prime’s Wishes, Grandma Connie’s Love Remains Steadfast

Shelomi Sanders’ controversial decision seems to be working well for her!

Coach Prime’s dream of having all his athlete children at the University of Colorado took a hit months ago when his daughter, Shelomi, joined the Alabama basketball team as a guard. But while this may have initially disappointed Deion, it seems Shelomi’s decision is turning out to be a positive one.

Shelomi has been showcasing impressive improvements on the court, sharing glimpses of her progress on social media. Beyond basketball, her overall lifestyle at Alabama seems to flourish, too. 

She recently debuted a stylish cornrow hairstyle and a dazzling “brace-free” smile, complete with the caption “The sun will rise ☀️,” hinting at a fresh start in Alabama. Now, the positive vibes don’t stop there. Shelomi also posted a motivational quote: “This is her world and she gets whatever she wants,” which some interpret as a subtle message to her dad, reminding him to respect her goals.

Now receiving support from her family, Shelomi’s grandmother, Deion’s mom, Connie Knight, commented on her Instagram post, “Your hair is pretty bossy,” revealing her love and approval. Interestingly, Connie also seems to endorse the cryptic message, suggesting her support despite any tension between Shelomi and Deion.

While Deion initially called Shelomi’s decision “stupid,” her mom, Pilar Sanders, immediately came to her defense. Shelomi’s mom has been a constant source of encouragement, sharing her daughter’s achievements and expressing her pride in her decision. With Mama Connie now joining the cheerleading squad, Shelomi has a strong support system for the “Sanders women” around her, even if Deion seems less involved at the moment.

Coach Prime and Shelomi’s feud goes viral

The Sanders men teamed up for a Nike shoe launch, but the picture wasn’t quite complete. Coach Prime, Shilo, Shedeur, and Deion Jr., all modeled the new “Nike Air Diamond Turf” shoes in a cool black-and-white poster featuring a black Lamborghini. Fans, however, noticed the missing Sanders girls.

Now, Deiondra’s absence is likely because of her pregnancy, but Shelomi’s skipping raised eyebrows. This follows the entire family appearing together in a KFC commercial last year. Now, amping it further is Shelomi’s social media silence, which seems even more glaring. Not only did she not share the “Nike shoe” poster, but she hasn’t publicly acknowledged it at all. This online behavior hints at a potential rift between Shelomi and her father. Now the recent cryptic social media message further proves that there’s seemingly an unresolved issue here.
