The Transfer Portal king continues to reign. After collecting the top recruits for the #1 class of college football in 2023, Deion Sanders has aced the arena again. Coach Prime was happy dancing on the signing day, just adding to the fact of how well the class of 2024 turned out.

As the team is still looking for redemption from the 4-8 record this season, Deion Sanders has plotted it out with their top-notch recruits. The 16 recruits, dominating in the offense department that Buffs signed on Wednesday, will give the much-needed boost to the team’s offense, given the QB Shedeur Sanders was sacked over 50 times in the season.

Getting the top transfer portal class for two consecutive years is no joke. For the 2023 season, Deion Sanders brought in recruits from his previous workplace. “That was easy because of Jackson State,” Keyshawn Johnson from ‘Undisputed’ agreed. Sheduer Sanders and Travis Hunter were some players who joined the Buffs last season. On the positive side, they were already the star players, along with being the people who already knew Coach Prime. Which saves him from pitching about his team and ways time and again.

“This is harder this year because I don’t know them. I got to sell what we are getting ready to do,” expressed Johnson. This season, Deion Sanders had to convince the payers to join his team, most of which his marketing master plan took care of. The popularity that the Buffs gained this year was enough to lure most players in, while others were impressed with Coach Prime’s dynamic coaching style.

“So it’s more impressive in terms of him and what he’s capable of doing in this conference next year, the sky is the limit,” asserted the Hall of Famer. Safe to say Sanders did what he committed to in one of his earlier conferences, to change his offensive linemen. Deion Sanders has landed 7 offensive linemen, now all that’s left is a whole restructure for the team.
