LeBron James puts Deion Sanders’ critics on notice, says ‘haters’ are ‘in hiding’ after Colorado’s latest win
Deion Sanders-coached Colorado Buffaloes continued their impressive season with a victory over Utah on Saturday, improving to 8-2. This marked a significant improvement from last season, where Sanders led the team to just four wins after a dismal one-win season in 2022.
Sanders faced skepticism when he made the leap from Jackson State, a historically Black college and university in Mississippi, to coach a struggling NCAA Division I FBS program. Despite a promising 3-0 start last season, the Buffaloes ended on a disappointing six-game losing streak, leading to increased scrutiny.
NBA superstar LeBron James has been a vocal supporter of Sanders and took to social media to silence the doubters after Colorado’s recent win. James declared that Sanders has shifted from “We coming” to “We here,” suggesting that the team’s success has proven the critics wrong.
Sanders implemented an aggressive roster overhaul in the past two seasons, utilizing the transfer portal and recruiting top high school prospects. The strategy paid off, with quarterback Sheduer Sanders, Deion’s son, leading the high-powered offense and Travis Hunter excelling as a two-way star.
The Buffaloes made a conference switch from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 this season, facing a tougher schedule. Despite the challenge, Colorado remains in contention for the conference championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Overall, Sanders’ coaching prowess has been instrumental in transforming the Buffaloes into a competitive force in college football. With key players excelling on the field, Colorado is on the path to success under Sanders’ leadership.
