Press meet-ups with Deion Sanders always hold a special place for Colorado Buffaloes fans. Now, with the spring transfer portal window in full swing, Coach Prime takes the stage to discuss a unique approach to recruiting. His sons, Shedeur and Shilo, are leveraging their social media presence on Instagram to attract potential players to Colorado.

Even though he brands Shilo’s attempt at poaching players as a “joke,” he instantly points out how it is very much of a reality as it would be harder for people even to realize the impact of this initiative. He is hopeful about the positive effects of using social media instead of approaching the players directly.

As captured in one of the latest videos on the YouTube channel Well Off Media, Deion Sanders has it all covered up for his sons. The quarterback and cornerback brothers duo made themselves reachable to any player interested in Boulder. In light of Shilo’s Instagram story, Sanders is confident about the success rate. At the conference, he confessed, “I really feel but I wish you could have a conversation with Shedeur and just tell him to just show you his DM one time you would not believe the kids that call him or call Shiloh because they’re high-profile young men.”

Even though he tags his cornerback son’s attempt to be a joke, he instantly gratifies his action, adding a touch of reality, “When Shiloh was making a joke which he was about hit me up my brother offensive defense or whatever it’s a joke, but it’s actually real that’s how stuff happens.” Meanwhile, Coach Prime’s son has created many waves in the college football landscape with their Instagram post.

In-depth view of Shilo and Shedeur’s Instagram post

Shedeur and Shilo have broken the boundaries and fully used social media, making themselves reachable to any player in the transfer portal. Shilo’s Instagram story intended to spread the message: “DEFENSE TRANSFERS DM ME OFFENSE TRANSFERS DM @SHEDEUR SANDERS (THIS NOT LAST CHANCE U).” Hence, the Buffaloes quarterback, who threw a record of 3,230 yards last season, has stepped out of his territory.

Based on speculations, the potential recruits have reached out to Shedeur because he had honestly assessed the current situation in Buffaloes. In an interview, the quarterback shed light on the fact, “It’s just better from player-to-player rather than from coach-to-player because I’m able to tell you honestly how we’re going to use you in our offense and stuff, and how I view you.”

Meanwhile, Shilo is said Shilo’s Instagram story has been a game-changer, with over 50 potential players reaching out to him. Reflecting on the impact of their social media posts, Shilo shares, “We’re good, but I just want to be the best, for sure. New guys bring new energy to practice. It’s not ever bad, giving guys an opportunity to come to the school.”

Per the current situation, Deion Sanders’ Colorado is grappling with losing 15 players who have hit the portal back-to-back. Among them, former five-star-recruit Cormani McClain has joined the crowd. While Coach Prime wished him all the best for his new journey, the Buffs are all prepared to welcome fresh faces.
