Deion Sander Has Strange Outlook On Common Recruiting Tactic

Don't expect to see Deion Sanders flying across the country to visit recruits in their homes.

Visiting recruits at their homes is a very common tactic that has existed pretty much since the start of college football. It gives coaches the opportunity to learn about a player's family and show his interest by dedicating a lot of time on the road.

Having a major coach visit your house is something recruits dream about as young athletes. It's the sign a high school player is finally viewed as a legit prospect.

Deion Sanders is against in-home recruiting visits.

Deion Sanders revealed during a Wednesday press conference that he has no interest in partaking in the tactic that has been a major part of recruiting for generations. He simply doesn't believe it works at all.

I have never heard one guy say I chose this college because this coach came by my crib. Have you? I can't do the things other coaches can do. You know why? I'm Coach Prime. And I didn't stutter when I said that," Sanders explained.

Bold. Very bold for a coach who won just four games last year. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com if you agree.

I don't want to tell Sanders how to do his job, but he might want to consider keeping any and all options on the table. His team went 1-8 in its final nine games last season. Going 4-8 should mean everything is being evaluated - not completely ruling things out.

Yes, Colorado leans heavily on the transfer portal. In-home recruiting visits are meant more for high school prospects, but I'd have my butt on a plane anywhere in the country if it meant signing a great high school prospect.

It'd be one thing if Sanders was winning at a high level with his policy and tactics, but he's not. Going 1-8 to close out the season is nothing short of embarrassing.

We'll see how Sanders does in year two in Boulder, but until he actually racks up some wins, it's hard to believe his tactics are sound.
