Deion Sanders has proof of concept, which could make Colorado’s build unstoppable

The Athletic has live coverage of Colorado vs. Oregon in Week 4 college football action Years before Travis Hunter properly introduced himself to the country as one of college football’s best players, he was a high school recruit who carried a stuffed animal around everywhere he went. Anyone watching Colorado’s win over TCU witnessed a showcase of not only what it looks like to bet on yourself and win but what it’s like to be a star under Deion Sanders. Before last Saturday, Sanders’ recruiting pitch was, “Come play for Coach Prime, be on YouTube and shake up a sport that has been done the same way for 100 years.” Now Sanders can say, “Come to Colorado, win and be a star like Travis Hunter.” Proof of concept. After what Sanders did with Hunter at Jackson State, it seemed quite reasonable that Colorado would sign a top-15 recruiting class in his first full cycle.
