Jake Crain: Deion Sanders is catching heat once again because he told a player he needed to transfer during the off season. Then the player didn’t. Now, that player is saying Prime never gave him a chance during the spring.
Nobody’s forcing anybody to play. I remember when coaches used to gray shirt and blue shirt guys just to be able to have extra guys on the roster and all of a sudden players got cut. I didn’t see anybody crying when Nick Saban was doing that like they’re doing with Deion Sanders. I’m not the biggest Deion Sanders fan in the world, but Xavier Smith transferred from Colorado to Austin Peay. It’s not like he transferred to another Power Five or somewhere like that.
I don’t know Xavier Smith, but, buddy, you better toughen your ass up or this world is going to chew you up and spit you out like you were never…
