  • OH: Deion Sanders Had CLEAR Message For Team After Jordan Seaton, London Merritt's Shots at Colorado

    OH: Deion Sanders Had CLEAR Message For Team After Jordan Seaton, London Merritt's Shots at Colorado
    Mar 31 2026
    Recent comments from former Colorado Buffaloes like Jordan Seaton, Ryan Staub, and London Merritt have stirred up headlines, with each taking subtle shots at Coach Prime’s program after transferring to powerhouse schools. The spotlight now turns to Deion Sanders’ response—and it’s the definition of poise. Kevin Borba kicks off with a deep dive into the situation: While some interpret the ex-players’ comments as slights against Colorado’s coaching staff, Kevin Borba argues it’s more a reflection of missing experience and fit at CU rather than outright disrespect. Sanders, meanwhile, uses the moment to set an example for his current team, advising, “We don’t talk about yesterday. Do not talk about your former schools. Do not talk about your former coaches. That’s like talking about your old girlfriend. Why would you talk about her when you got a new one? We are professional now.” 04:00 The episode draws bigger parallels, comparing coaching transitions and player departures across college football: leaving rarely comes without hard feelings, and public remarks—no matter the intent—often get twisted into drama. Sanders’ directive isn’t just sound PR, it’s life advice: focus forward, trade noise for professionalism, and avoid extra controversy. Beyond the headlines, Kevin Borba spotlights program updates—including a closer look at the wide receiver room’s emerging depth and injury news around DeAndre Moore and Hykee, Williams. Dialogue continues around how new offensive staff plan to maximize a diverse WR group, with potential stars like Danny Scudero and Joseph Williams ready to step up. On defense, the overhaul on the edge gets attention as Coach George Hilo experiments with rotations and new transfer talent like Toby Anene and Villi Tafotafoa, aiming to dramatically improve a pass rush that lagged last season. As Kevin Borba sees it, Deion Sanders’ mature response may help tone down the noise outside Boulder—but inside, the Buffs are quietly getting to work, aiming for bigger things in 2024. Will their renewed focus shift the program’s fortunes and prove Coach Prime right?

  • WOW: Former Colorado Star Fires SHOT at Deion Sanders, Coaching Staff

    WOW: Former Colorado Star Fires SHOT at Deion Sanders, Coaching Staff
    Mar 28 2026
    Tensions rise in Boulder as former Colorado standout London Merritt publicly takes aim at Deion Sanders’ coaching staff and program direction. After transferring to Clemson, Merritt cites Colorado’s lackluster facilities and coaching as key reasons for his departure, fueling ongoing debate over Coach Prime’s approach and staff assembly. Kevin Borba unpacks Merritt’s pointed remarks at 00:02:15, spotlighting Colorado’s struggles with staff experience, ineffective player development, and a roster in flux after losing over 40 players to the portal. Citing examples like inexperienced hires and regression in position groups, Borba highlights how players' desire for strong development wasn’t being met—and why Sanders’ initial strategy of sheer talent without cohesive coaching fell short 00:05:14. The conversation pivots to Prime’s latest staff changes, with optimism surrounding fresh faces like Brendan Marion and Chris Marve, and questions abound whether this new direction can repair program credibility and spark actual improvement. Alongside Merritt’s candid perspective, the episode references other ex-Buffs voicing similar concerns, marking a pattern Sanders must urgently address. Elsewhere, Kevin Borba discusses the costly basketball loss of Isaiah Johnson, tying coaching stability to talent retention and program evolution. With ESPN’s SP+ rankings placing Colorado at 65th, questions linger about sustainable vision and whether Coach Prime’s ever-changing methods can finally pay off. Can Deion Sanders rally the Buffs with new staff, silencing former players and critics? Or will off-field shots and on-field inconsistency keep Colorado from rising in college football’s power ranks?
