For Deion Sanders, he sees 2024 as a year of dominating, of winning. And he’s making sure that everybody in the program is giving their 100% in making that ambition a reality. Take a look at his prep talk to his dawgs as the Buffs look to dominate the 2024 season with their competitive spirit.

The Buffs have already secured some of the top players for the 2024 season in the likes of Jordan Seaton, Drelon Miller, and Brandon Davis-Swain, among others. And in the words of Coach Prime, “I feel as though we are better than we were now.” But he also issues a stern warning to his coaches and players saying, “Can you help us win? That’s the determining factor. If you can’t help us win, you’re not going to be here much longer. If you’re part of the problem and not part of the solution, you’re not going to be here much longer.”

Coach Prime slams those who aren’t sincere in their efforts and dedication. He said, “You know why you can’t help us? Because you’re not willing to invest in helping yourself.” The 56-year-old doesn’t take things for granted nor will he sit back and watch things crumble before him. He’s ready to do the hard things even if it means dismissing someone from their position just as what happened with Bishop Thomas.
