Like it or not, Deion Sanders called his shot for everyone to hear in his first team meeting at Colorado, noting that most of the people in that room wouldn't be there come fall, and he was bringing his own "Louis" luggage with him in the form of transfers to overhaul the roster.
Regardless of that radical transparency, some are still surprised to see more than 70 players opt for the transfer portal since his arrival, as Prime has dominated headlines nationally since his arrival in Boulder.
Never one to bite his tongue, Pat Narduzzi was recently asked about the approach of Prime out in Boulder, and sounded off with his signature brutal honesty.
"That's not the way it's meant to be, the Pitt head coach told 247Sports last week at the ACC spring meetings.
"That's not what the rule intended to be. It was not to overhaul your roster. We'll see how it works out but that, to me, looks bad on college football coaches across the country"
"The reflection is on one guy right now but when you look at it overall — those kids that have moms and dads and brothers and sisters and goals in life...I don't know how many of those 70 that left really wanted to leave or they were kicked in the butt to get out."
If Narduzzi wants to find Deion, for whatever reason, word is "he ain't hard to find."
The portal has been a sensitive subject for Narduzzi recently, who lost star high profile receiver Jordan Addison in the portal to USC prior to last season. Addison went on to be 23rd overall pick in the NFL Draft last month when he was picked up by the Vikings.
Can we get Pitt and Colorado to meet in the next few seasons to hash this out on the field? Who is with me?
