Even though the Colorado Buffaloes are still in the summer, they are working hard to improve right now. This week, Deion Sanders and his team invited the Marines to the campus for a second training session. It goes without saying that since their initial visit, the conditioning exercises have advanced a few notches.
But there was a lack of unity and companionship, which Coach Prime addressed on Thursday in the weight room. He gave his team a deadline of either improving as a team or using the transfer site. Sanders said,
“I need y’all to get together and unite,” “I’m tired of y’all at the breakfast table and lunch table or dinner table with your phones. We got five cats that are on the phone. Nobody is talking. Don’t even know each other. Your group should know each other.” He went on to say, “Get off the darn phones and learn your teammates.”
Sanders has a Loud and Clear message
Sanders stated unequivocally that he wanted Dawgs and Leaders on this team. Assembling a team with fresh talent can be difficult at times, especially when assessing players’ strengths and limitations in the moment. The Buffs are reliving the same nightmare. Although there hasn’t been a wholesale overhaul, there will be an adjustment time with 30 new players joining the team, including a new group of offensive line starters.
He said,
“We got to get better. Quit slacking. Quit just being in here getting by,”
“If you want to tap out, go ahead and tap out… So, we can replace you right now.”
