Top recruit in the country rather play for Coach Prime than FSU.

Wow

Weird Thread title... but okay.

Well it was originally made by someone who clearly wanted to bash DS and thought everyone would join in on bashing on him, but pretty much no one did.

I saw this earlier. Stunning. But if the goal is to get to the NFL, Coach Prime can do that for him, I'm sure.

I’ve been pretty impressed of what he has done thus far without coaching experience. I would like to see him at the P5 level somewhere to see how good he can be but I don’t know if that is what he wants and that’s okay if it isn’t.

Coach Saban's reaction to Hunter going to Jackson.

I have a lot of respect for Deion Sanders. He's a good coach. He's a good guy, was a great player. Has got a great personality, and I enjoy doing commercials with him. But it's not for me to comment on who makes what decisions to go where based on what circumstances. He got a great player, and I think that's good for his program. I'm not really going to make any comments about what happened. I don't really know the background or the details of what happened there. But everybody has the right to make those choices and those decisions. That's why it's America. Everybody has freedom of choice. I'm happy for him that he got a great player.

Classy. Appropriate. I'm glad Coach Saban is our coach and I wish Coach Sanders well in Jackson.

I agree with your sentiments. However, I also remember a certain coach who is now considered the greatest of all time having to learn to control his emotions and be a bit more choosy with his outbursts. Coach Bryant, as well. Those that remember CPB from the 60's know he remade his image in the 70's. I think, given enough time and success, Coach Sanders will, too.

Yes, the public persona for the Coach Paul Bryant that arrived at Bama in 1958 in no wise resembles that of the Coach Bryant of the '70's. Somewhere along the line Coach Bryant apparently decided he liked the "kindly ol' Bear" public image and began to perpetuate it. In 1958 when he arrived the public persona he presented was anything but that. Interestingly, according to what my parents, who knew Bryant well as students told me, the Bryant of the mid-1930's was a really nice guy, and while not necessarily the most socially adept, was very smart and a lot of fun to be around.

Deion’s recruits are going to be so excited to play in front of 5,000 fans. Breath taking.

FYI…guys that go to play football at HBCUs aren’t concerned about the number of fans in the stands.

The NIL money promised will more than make up for it

Well, in all fairness the kid should he able to choose where he wants to play. However, the kids that go this route understand they will not be competing with the best of the best. Major power 5 programs like Bama and UGA aren’t for everyone.

Does Deon have an LLC?

Does Deon have an LLC?

If you could buy Coach Sanders for what he's worth, and sell him for what he thinks he's worth, you'd turn a nice profit!

Seriously, they'll both probably be at FSU in a year or two.

 

[OSUTideFan]

Seriously, they'll both probably be at FSU in a year or two.

And then end up getting pounded by Clemson, Notre Dame, UNC, Miami, Wake Forest and Pitt. Like clockwork. Every year.

I think some of y'all are selling Sanders a bit short - it's early but he's got the highest win percentage of any coach in JSU history.

I'm not saying he'll be an FBS success, but he might...

Very true. Nevertheless, I stand by my analogy.
