While Deion Sanders urges his team and fans to ‘believe in the impossible,’ the critics have labeled his coaching methods ‘a recipe for chaos.’ Sanders has an unorthodox coaching style that strictly follows that “scorched-earth policy.” It is marked by brutal honesty and minimal humility. Therefore, critics have described his coaching style as controversial and disruptive. But the Colorado Buffaloes just lost the three-star offensive lineman recruit, Talan Chandler. Is that thanks to the critics’ point of view?

To answer that Chandler came forward himself to clarify. The three-star OL de-committed from the University of Colorado’s 2024 recruiting class. And surprisingly, he flipped over to Missouri. It happened no less than two days ago, and the news is already spreading like fire. The credit goes to Talan Chandler’s confessional social media post.

Rivalsdotcom on Instagram had a great rivalry to display between Colorado and Missouri over the new offensive linebacker. Chandler told SI High School about why he chose Missouri over Colorado. He sincerely stated, “I mean, really, Mizzou was always my dream school, being close to home, getting to stay home, and playing SEC football. That’s just an incredible opportunity. And I didn’t think I was going to have that opportunity back when I committed to Colorado.”

The linebacker continued, “But some things have happened, some things have changed, you know, and the opportunity arose for me and my family. And we kind of just talked about it and preyed on it. And we see how the program’s on the up and coming. And we just, through our careful consideration, you know, we have tons of love for Colorado on the opportunity they gave me. There’s no nothing there that I can hang my hat on and say that’s bad. But you know, just this is what’s best for me and my family and my future.”
