Social media reacts to Deion Sanders’ latest comments on Cormani McClain
With Travis Hunter out and Shilo Sanders’ status up in the air for the Colorado football’s game against the USC Trojans this weekend, the Buffs are somewhat thin in their defensive secondary.
One possible reinforcement, Cormani McClain, hasn’t played much this season, and head coach Deion Sanders has said why the five-star recruit isn’t being used.
On Tuesday, Coach Prime was asked about McClain again, and he went into even more detail this time, saying the talented true freshman isn’t putting in the work off the field.
Whether people like it or not, Coach Prime tells it like it is. Here’s how social media reacted to Sanders’ latest comments on McClain:
ACCOUNTABILITY
The fatherless, lack of accountability, coddling crowd sure is upset with this. He's challenging Cormani McClain to perform and prepare at the level he knows that he can.
Deion Sanders is asking for him to apply himself. Nothing more. Nothing less https://t.co/kV20A5CfQN

RESPECT
This is why I love him cuz he knows how good McClain can be. You can't live off what you did in high school when you get to College. Them stars pointless https://t.co/9K4alXYRZ2

OLD SCHOOL
Love this. Anyone got a problem with Prime? You the problem. I love old school. And he's spot on. Gotta earn your place on the field. https://t.co/kXebT0qr2M

PREACHING WHAT HE PRACTICED
While the hype on the Deion project remains out of control by the media, I'd note that for all his talent and brashness Mickey Andrews will tell you when Deion was at FSU he was the hardest worker they had. So he's not preaching anything he didn't live up to when he was a player. https://t.co/VywKyq588s

100% RIGHT
Love this. Deion is 100% right here. Need more “old school” like this out there.
(But I’m pretty sure it’s not allowed by the NCAA to check film times like that; at least it wasn’t 9 years ago when I last heard something on it.) https://t.co/PavmP0s1TV

STANDARDS
Coach Prime has standards and holds guys accountable, I don’t understand what’s not to like. https://t.co/L3ChdLxbki
