Deion Sanders‘ methods of coaching his Colorado football program have come under fire once again after incoming 5-star DB recruit Cormani McClain claimed he puked seven times during a recent Buffaloes practice — but FanBuzz’s Richard Janvrin was able to logically dissect the media’s hit at the claim that Coach Prime is overworking his recruits to an abusive degree.

“Remember, McClain is a native of Lakeland, Florida and is now playing in Colorado, a state known for its high elevation,” Janvrin prefaced before saying, “The elevation in Lakeland is 203 feet, while Boulder, Colorado, is more than 5,000 feet higher at 5,318 feet. Throwing up seven times isn’t a great thing to experience. However, it’s likely McClain’s body is just adapting to the higher altitude, which would certainly cause bodily reactions for anyone not used to it.”

Mr. Janvrin’s facts have seemingly gotten in the way of a good story from a conglomerate of outlets that are going to be as unforgiving of Sanders as humanly possible. “Prime Time” certainly has misspoke before, but he’s also been smeared for using recruiting tactics most new coaches use when entering a program that didn’t see success the prior season.

Presumably, one of the reasons McClain is having such a tough time in practice is because Colorado football QB Shedeur Sanders is making sure the DB reaches his full potential and is specifically targeting him to maximize his output.

“I’m going to go at (Cormani) everyday in practice when I see him out there,” Sanders said (h/t Buffs Beat’s Brian Schaible). “He has no choice. Because I’m going to keep going at him to see what he’s good at. He was a five-star in high school, but that doesn’t mean anything now in college.”

This writer’s prediction? McClain will appreciate these practices when he’s collecting individual accolades for CU in the coming years.
