Former 5-star CB Cormani McClain posted a farewell message to Colorado and thanked 1 coach by name. The glaring omission was Coach Prime.

[@kevindorsey3881]

Exactly Rico. He’s over mothered and under fathered. He won’t understand until he’s a full grown adult.

[@bbkingme8831]

How do u know? They stole 1 mill from him. Then tried to smear his name. Nike offered him 1 mill and deion said he wasnt ready for that kind of money and used his name to get a deal for the staff. Cormani mom found out when receipts came from Nike. If that's ok to u. And its him having a over mother. And somehow u think he dont got a dad. I wont say nothing else

[@patmac1906]

Did he even practice with Coach Livingston???

[@bbkingme8831]

Not true. Everybody in the know. Including the staff knows the truth. that's why some staff coaches etc left. Coach mathis loved cormani...cormani had a nil deal that deion hid from him and said he wasnt ready for that kind of money. He tried to get another player on the team ( or his son) the deal but they wanted cormani. The media and fans loved cormani and deion didnt understand why cormani was asked about so much. Cormani told them he wasnt a flashy guy and isnt like them. He didnt want to be in the camera everyday showing off. He wasnt like them. But when they found out who ,,nike,,, and more tried to get cormani for a high number. And deion didnt understand why him. And told them to hold off because he wasnt ready for that amount of money. And tried to get shilo the deal. Is scary. I get it. But dont try to smear the players name because he doesnt see u as a idol and isnt flashy and braggn like u. Be reallll

@@bbkingme8831 everything you said might be true. But as a man I don’t beleive Deion hid anything from people about cormani. He just told them the truth about his work ethic and his choices on and off the field. 🤷🏻‍♀️ my coach would’ve done the same thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ and that might’ve swayed the nil people away. Ain’t nothing in this world given to you. You got to earn it. I’ll take a 0 star with work ethic than a 5 start with no discipline anyday! Deion just spoke the truth. You think I’m going to vouch for you when you walk right by me every morning and don’t speak. It’s about relationships. Act like you want to be here. Or move on

You're the only person to bring up the single mother aspect and you're 100% correct, I've said the same thing.

[@travisadams8243]

This kid had everything setup for him to succeed and it all crumbled because of him. So Rico, you are spot on!

[@MrEt4740]

The fact that his mother lived in Colorado with him was not good, he did not have time to grow as a man. The kid had to support his family and focus on school, plus football. His mother said something about NIL money, this may have been what she was putting in his ear and hurt his chance to learn from coach prime. This was short sighted and dumb, I bet he will be back in Polk county trying to live off of that five star rating.

[@MsAngel0812]

Seems like He headed that way for real and He def not the 1st 5 Star to ever end up in that situation. I don't think NIL will help Him, He obviously didn't know the name of the University He was attending. Never has it been named that. He has no clue who Coach Livingston is and this let Me know. Like Coach said sometimes You have to step back and stop trying to be the Savior of people. Lesson well learned only God can do it.

[@MrEt4740]

This is as absurd as MC caskill's father demanding he be given the starting running back position. Every head coach requires a kid to earn the starting spot by working in the spring and summer camps.

[@DtownEast12]

Facts 🤷🏽‍♀️ that was immature and speaks volumes.

[@Rmbxrae]

I grew up in a single parent household with a brother two years younger than me. The comment about Cormani and lacking respect for male leadership is correct. There is a noticeable difference between men who were raised with a father/father figure. Men lacking father figures are usually emotionally immature, can’t take criticism, lack self awareness and respect for other men. I know because I grew up with it - now we’re grown and I see the repercussions. Constantly looking for mommy’s direction. Not all, but a hit dog will holler so let’s see who comments.

[@essieshelton1324]

Hard work beat talent when talent refused to work hard he wanted it handed to him

[@number1chiefROKKA]

The NFL is about RELATIONSHIPS. Period. This was a bad look. More NFL executives and former players know Prime more than they will ever know him. Not saying he has to kiss A$$, just saying you gotta know how to set yourself up for the future in this business. This was definitely not something that , from a PR side, should have been ok'd. But this generation is different I guess. Good luck though. No ill wishes against his future success.

[@foxlife9366]

Remember last year when he was working out back home with this dude? I know its hindsight however I’m a trainer and thought he is not getting a workout that will prepare him for what’s next . I competed in bodybuilding and trained my little bro before his freshman year at Nebraska in 95. I knew he would do well because he loved to workout. He was #30 who ran for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage against CU. I hope Cormani uses the gifts he was given. 5 star don’t mean nothing once you in college and playin* with grown men. They gonna test you. You must be coachable and love to train in my opinion.

Great perspective Rico! It refreshing to hear someone analyze the Colorado/Cormani situation based on the information provided to the general public and not shy away from calling Cormani on the immature behavior that he displayed. To me the most important point you made was in reference to the fact that 30 adult men were unable to connect with him 😮

[@kpatterson7009]

Your absolutely right Rico. This is why we need fathers in the home! You need more strong men.

[@Coloradohunni9589]

Great advice Rico. At some point I don't even think Coach Prime didn't even wanna address Cormani but remember when he wasn't playing the media was going crazy where's Cormani why isn't he starting why why why but Coach Prime had to say something and be honest and some ppl thought he was gonna sugar coat the situation and coddle him just because he was a 5 star recruit.

No matter where he goes we won’t hear about Cormani in any other program. He will be second string where ever he goes, he couldn’t take in knowledge from one of the best cornerbacks to ever play the game. If Prime couldn’t make him a better CB no one can..

Have you thought that maybe CP thought that withholding a mil would be an incentive that would motivate him to step it up. CP didn't bring Cormani to Boulder just to see him fail ,I know you gotta know that. To be truthful the way Cormani has handled this ,he really isn't ready. But if Nike thought he was worth a mil at CU then they will think he's a worth a mil at another school. This is a very unfortunate situation , but nothing that he can't bounce back from.
