What Does Landing 5-Star QB Julian Lewis Mean for Deion’s Colorado Future? | The Rich Eisen Show

[@rzawistowski33]

Prime very recently wrote a letter of recommendation for one of the kids to join a firefighting academy. Its not just about football its about raising men for life.

Right that's what Prime his awesome at a mentor of young men and not grown men. Folks pushing to the NFL to fail

[@carlmartin360]

Prime has said only about SIX THOUSAND TIMES that he doesn’t like the NFL player/coach dynamic.

[@zolo49noname45]

Yep, and a lot of what draws college recruits to Sanders would never work at the NFL level. While I do think Deion would at least consider moving to the NFL if he got a ludicrous offer, I'm fairly certain he wants to stay at the college level and is only teasing the possibility of a move as leverage to get more money from Colorado.

[@machiavellisprince5986]

@@RobertSmith-gn2he No sir. If you're new to the story, it seems that way. They have messed with Prime's recruiting efforts by spreading this story of Prime leaving (for 2 years now). They lowered JuJu Lewis' star rating when he started paying attention to CU. They've fired commentators who were too close to Prime. One of them now works for him. Refs blatantly cheated CU out of touchdowns that were caught on film as being legit. They cost Colorado a bowl game LAST YEAR! It goes on and on. They hate Prime and so they hate this team.

[@SunniMerlot]

Honestly as a white guy I can say the only ppl I see not liking Deion are people who can’t show you a picture of them with a black friend in there house hanging out and that’s just the truth. A million good character stories and people still want to claim he’s cocky. Can’t find anywhere where he actually is being cocky or anything though. It’s craziness

If I was running Colorado, I’d lock down Prime with whatever he wants. Deion isn’t going anywhere. This should end the speculation of him and Shedeur going somewhere else. Shedeur and Travis need to venture out on their own. Prime is a phone call, text, FaceTime away.

No confusion. Deion is a man of his word. His integrity is 100. Leaving Rick George, CU which gave him carte balance and above all his players: break his word? Never. and JUJU is the exclamation point! Never. He’s just getting started building a program. Besides, everyone says he follows his sons: he has 3 going to the NFL: Shaduer, Shilo and Travis: he’s not choosing. Trust his honor. The media continues to underestimate the quality of this man.

you know Pops Lewis got that assurance that Prime is staying before his boy committed

[@CUBUFFSFOOTBALLAUNTIE]

[@MarioParks25]

​@lynnerose7891 Coach Prime left for various reasons. *The school was corrupt and not paying him the money he requested. *The water issues in Jackson played a significant role, and the city officials were not doing much about it. *He was coming out of his pocket to pay not only for his players to take showers at facilities outside of the town but also for opposing teams. He was helping cover their expenses. *His vehicle was broken into at JSU several times. *His team locker room was broken into during a game at JSU and the perpetrator was caught in the act stealing his phone, wallet, credit cards and watches. There were a multitude of reasons for him leaving. Not to mention the crime rate in Jackson. Since he's been at Colorado he hasn't had to deal with any of those issues.

[@pamelacunningham4047]

​@lynnerose7891 It's not just about money in the NFL. Prime has a lot of control and many endorsements at Colorado. The owner has control in the NFL.

[@mrhillsman]

I said I believed and wouldn't be surprised if it was a marketing strategy the day after Stephen A and Irvin went on about him leaving because the week before on SPEAK CP was on there and said he wasn't going anywhere. If it is/was, again CP and his team are undefeated. Have to remember CP is not just a coach. He was in media for what 10-15 years after he finished playing? Mike when you remember they strategize, like they did with Seaton last year, you won't be confused lmao. Guarantee more fireworks to come with signing day around the corner.

You just don’t listen to the man. He has been saying that he loves CU and is staying. For ever.

[@danielsaul2593]

People saying "What happens next?" after this season. When they lose Sheduer, Travis and others, how do they continue to grow and how do they follow up that success. Well a good start is by recruiting a 5 star QB. Like thats a good foundation to build something again. Like people were speculating "oh Deions only had Sheduer as his Quarterback during his college coaching career, what does a Deion team look like when Sheduer goes to the NFL, will Prime coach in the NFL and coach his son at the next level? Well it looks to me like Prime has given his son the platform and support to be the best he can be, set him on a path and now will watch him shine in the NFL. It looks to me like Deion will continue to coach Colorado and build something with this new QB, continue to lead the young men and coach in college

[@MrLee4love]

Colorado knows his to market his team and his players. His marketability gets his players new gifts, shoes, clothing, shoes, a chance to star in a commercial. I think KFC will do a team commercial. Id love to see Shedur, Shilo, Deion Jr, maybe 5 players to do a commercial
