Deion Sanders made a mistake during an Instagram livestream with his CU colleague on July 2, 2024. While they were simply discussing Deion Sanders and his responsibilities as a head coach, his recruiting talk should get them in trouble again.

There was a fine line that Deion Sanders mistakenly crossed during his conversation. When the employee and Deion Sanders were discussing what Prime could and couldn’t do on Instagram, he said he could greet people but he couldn’t talk to them. Additionally, he clearly “cdon’t recruit them. Sanders admitted that he doesn’t even know people in real life while he knows his recruits.

However, after that, Trainer Prime’s tongue got the better of him as he revealed: “Everyone we got, we got. They haven’t announced it yet but…” It was then that he realized he shouldn’t have commented on a future recruit.I shouldn’t have said that.“It’s too little, too late. Even though the mistake was small, it was huge because NCAA rules state that head coaches cannot talk about recruiting under their guidelines.
