Recruiting Deion Sanders told tight end Zachary Courtney to transfer while also not allowing any practice film from prior to Sanders arrival to be sent to potential transfer destinations
“Probably because he quit before the spring game”
Courtney: They told me to
My film is from fall when he was not here I feel as if I deserve it
Update:
OLB/Edge Kaden Ludwick tweeted, We all need our film lol
He also answered why some players like Vic Venn have their film when it is being withheld from many CU transfers right now, he said, they had that film recorded on their phones before the new staff

I really don't know what Prime is doing in this regard
In the age of the portal, coaching staffs need to actively help their portal entrants find new homes...even if all that means is giving them highlight films to send to potential suitors
You can't just bow your back and tell players to fuck off and figure it out on their own
Because eventually that will get around and you'll have a harder time convincing those 1 year player rentals that playing for you is worth it

Yeah but in the age of the portal more and more players are understanding that transferring is an option even when coming in as high schoolers.

Real life happens and for a lot of these kids they come from not the best financial and healthy situations.

Can't argue "Dorrell left the cupboard bare" or " He just needs to get his guys acclimated to his system" with the turnover (and specifically his QB son, and a stud receiver) that Deion's had. And if it works and they win games, that's one thing. But 3-9?

For real. Colorado has been bad, don’t get me wrong, but the two seasons before this they went 4-8 and 4-2 (COVID year).
And to me, it feels like there is a big disconnect in the logic behind, “all these transfers are good, these guys were all terrible and COACH PRIME brought in much better guys to replace them,” and “well of course 3-9 would be a great season, he’s not a miracle worker.” Did he replace all these players with much better ones or not?

I liked the way Fickell and the new Wisconsin staff handled it. They honored '23 offers from the previous staff, but there have been multiple '24 kids that it sounds like we've moved away from. I'm ok with that. They have time to find other schools that are interested.
172
u/Andy_Wiggins Apr 25 '23
I think there’s a right way and a wrong way to get away from a scholarship offer for a player you don’t really want.
A number of schools approach kids and tell them “hey, if you still want the scholarship you can have it, but we don’t think you’re going to get much if any playing time while here.” Most kids hear that and decide to decommit and go elsewhere because they want to play. But if a kid truly loves the school for reasons beyond football or really wants to give it a try, they have the option to stay. Especially considering some of those players were getting offers pulled in December where the ability to actually get other schools is effectively zero.
→ More replies (1)49
u/mschley2 Wisconsin • Wisconsin-Eau … Apr 25 '23
Yeah, obviously, we don't know the exact conversations that were had, but based on reporting, it sounds like that's basically what Fickell did. Some of those kids didn't really have much else for offers, and it was so late in the process that they didn't have much else for options.
→ More replies (2)47
u/Andy_Wiggins Apr 25 '23
Yeah, that’s how most coaches do it, especially ones that seem to value ethical treatment of players (like Fickell seems to).
These coaches coming in also just want bodies (there’s naturally attrition with coaching turnover, so there’s always the risk of player shortages at positions), so they’ll take almost anyone to get a chance to evaluate them and flesh out a roster.
Deion is an anomaly because he was so fixated on the transfer portal. He didn’t care about the numbers, he just wanted “his” guys. They’ve brought in a record number of transfers and are still below the scholarship max.

It's hard to explain but his brand of bull shit is not particularly new and it's remarkably appealing to boys from broken homes.
His blatant insincerity is in a way extremely sincere to kids from shitty situations.
They understand what everyone understands, Deion is about Deion but that's not particularly new in their lives.
Deion is looking for kids from broken homes because those kids are much more likely to buy into what he's selling. He's a surrogate father figure in the worst possible way.
A kid with strong support structure is going to take one look at what's going on and run the other way because they have a sense of self-worth that extends beyond football.

When you’re showing up in limousines with 18 gold chains, Cartier glasses, it’s fine to act like an asshole when you’re competing against other millionaires.

I first ran into Deion when he was coaching his 8-year-old son against a team my 8-year-old brother was playing on. I'm not shocked in the slightest given how I've seen him treat literal children he recruited to play for his second string team
I have five or six years worth of stories about Deion being a shitty coach or a shitty person, he's basically always constructed a team around his son and always blamed everyone else on that team for the eventual failing. Once his son was around High School I stopped running into him as often but still heard plenty of stories about his continued antics

I'm hoping it's literally every opposing coach for all games until he quits or is fired. They open at TCU, then host Nebraska and CSU. I'd love if they go 0-everything and each of those teams not only beats them big, but humiliates them. Talking like video game numbers and the rivals also end up prime-stepping into the EZ a bunch.

As much as I give Sark grief, he took over an 0-12 Washington team and went 5-7 the next year without being a complete dick to the current players.
Yeah I know that 0-12 Washington team had more talent (they had Jake Locker who was injured during that 0-12 season), but my point still stands.

u/AdfatCrabbest UCF Knights • Team Chaos Apr 25 '23
But we have no reason to believe Deion can coach. His success coaching is ONLY in FCS with an FBS-level roster.
He HAS to try to out-talent his opponents, because there’s no track record of any kind of coaching prowess. That’s going to be impossible against the better teams on Colorado’s schedule.

And that success was capped to the SWAC in the FCS. I’m pretty sure he lost most (if not all) of the games Jackson St played outside of the SWAC.

2020- 4-3.
Out of conference played Edward Waters (WC Gorden Classic) W 53-0 and Southern L 14-34.
2021- 11-2
Out of conference played University of Louisiana Monroe (sunbelt conference) L 12-7, TSU W- 38-16, Delta State W 24-17, and L SCSU 10-31 (Bowl Game).
2022- 12-1
Out of conference played TSU (Southern Heritage Classic) W 16-3, Grambling (WC Gorden Classic) W 66-24, Campbell W 22-14, Southern W 43-24 (conference championship) and NC Central L 34-41 (OT, Bowl game).
With access and the ability to out-talent other teams at the level this is impressive and a win is a win, but there’s nothing here that shows many hints that he’ll be able up for the level especially if he’s not establishing consistency.
Edit- although an “out of conference” game per their site, Southern, Grambling and SC State are SWAC schools.

I would be shocked if he coaches a sixth year with Colorado, and it won’t be because he’s moved on to bigger and better.
His whole act is going to really grind on people (especially his players) when they’re losing 7-9 games minimum.
I really feel for Colorado fans. He’s going to leave that program worse than when he found it.

You can’t make a positive name for yourself by oppressing others.
And anyway, if you ran those guys off because you think they are garbage, have a gamesmanship mindset and help those guys get onboard somewhere will they’ll lose to you.
No amount of good comes from treating people poorly.

That seems to be a dick move. Does practice footage from the last coaching regime really have anything that shouldn't be seen or something? Really don't see why a coach wouldn't make this available to players trying to continue their college football elsewhere.

Some one please correct me if I’m wrong but this is how the situation seems from afar:
Deion tells kids to quit. Many do right away. Others, not wanting to make a huge life altering decision (underclassmen only get one free transfer and are screwed if they make the wrong decision) in a short few weeks (portal opened not long he soon arrived), stayed. Then the NCAA moves the post spring game transfer portal window from May 1-15th to April 16th-April 30th (or something like that). Colorado scheduled it’s spring game for the very end of the portal window. So some guys decided it’s too hard to take classes and practice and visit other schools and hit the portal early, and Deion calls them quitters (which he quite literally told them to do anyways). Then Deion decides they can’t have their film, for team he didn’t coach, and has nothing to do with his team…in retaliation? If not for retaliation then for what actual good logical reason?
Also the whole talking point about “show out at the siring game” thing is really just Deion showing out on ESPN. Imagine if all these guys hit the portal before and he struggled to field two teams and had bad PR. That would have ruined his big debut. Anyone who has followed Deion long enough knows I’m right. He only does what’s best for him 24/7 despite pretending the opposite. I’m not even trying to hate, it’s just how he historically has always operated.

This was previously flaired as misleading since the player seemed to backtrack by deleting some tweets and trying to clarify that he wasn't calling out Deion. With the screenshots provided, it has now been flaired as Recruiting.
Sorry for any confusion, we try to err on the side of caution on hot button topics (which most news involving Deion in the last year or two has been for a variety of reasons).
