Deion Sanders' Blunt Warning to Recruits: 'If You're a Dawg, Come for Revenge'
Colorado's dismal 52-17 loss to Arizona on Saturday has left fans stunned, and head coach Deion Sanders' response only added fuel to the fire. When asked by a reporter how he would address the team's recent struggles with recruits and their families, Sanders delivered a scathing rebuke.
"It doesn't need an explanation; they saw it," Sanders said bluntly. "If you're a dog, you want to come here and right the wrong. If you're a cat, you look at the scoreboard and run. Which one are you?"
The Arizona loss marked the program's worst consecutive defeats under Sanders, with Colorado now sitting at 3-6 overall and 1-5 in Big 12 play. The team has struggled with turnovers, penalties, and pass protection issues, leading to catastrophic losses.
Sanders' team had a dramatic turnaround last season, finishing 9-4 and appearing in the Alamo Bowl. However, this slump is weighing heavily on his program, with new questions emerging about staff cohesion and recruiting momentum.
The pressure is mounting, especially for Sanders, who is tasked with salvaging Colorado's season and winning back recruits. The team's next game against West Virginia on November 8 has become a must-win to prevent further collapse.
Sanders' message is clear: if you're not willing to fight for your team, then leave. But those who are ready for the challenge, he's inviting them to join the Buffaloes and "right the wrong." The question remains, will recruits take Sanders up on his offer?

think back to when sanders was playin in the NFL, he wouldn't let nobody shut him down now imagine if we had a coach who'd actually lead by example instead of all these excuses about injuries and whatever u know? this loss against arizona was whack, 52-17 is like, what r they even doin out there 
They gotta step it up if they wanna turn this season around! Coach Sanders is pushing the right buttons btw

. i feel for him, he's trying to turn things around but it's not easy, you know? 3-6 overall and 1-5 in big 12 play is a tough pill to swallow. but honestly, i think his message is spot on - if you're with the buffaloes, you gotta be willing to fight for your team. no more excuses, you feel me? 
it's gonna be interesting to see if recruits take him up on that offer. maybe he can get some of those recruits who are already looking at colorado and make them wanna join the cause. fingers crossed, or else... 
. But at the same time, I worry that his message might scare off some potential players who aren't ready for that level of intensity 
.
. Deion Sanders knows what it takes to turn this team around, trust me 
. He's been in tough spots before and always comes out on top 
. I'm so proud of our Buffs and I know they'll bounce back stronger than ever 
. If you're a recruit looking for a team that will push you to be your best, Colorado is the place for you 
!
Colorado's recruitment struggles are getting worse 
. I mean, 3-6 overall and 1-5 in Big 12 play is a disaster 
. Deion Sanders' blunt warning to recruits better be more than just empty words 
. Can he really fix this program? 
. And what about the players who are already on the team? Are they gonna stick around for another season of getting thrashed? 
. Colorado's season is basically over 
).
. Colorado's struggles run deeper than just recruits, and it's time someone points fingers at the real culprits – namely, the players themselves 
.
is it just about being willing to put in the work and fight for your team, or is it something deeper? are we talking about loyalty, dedication, or just plain old stubbornness? the way he framed it as "if you're a dog" vs "if you're a cat" made me wonder if we're looking at this from the right perspective... maybe it's not about which one is better, but more about what we can learn from each other 
I mean, can you blame him for being frustrated with his team's performance? They got dominated by Arizona 52-17 - that's like, whoa 
. The way he said "if you're a dog, come for revenge" is just genius 
. I'm curious to see how this will play out, but I've got a feeling Deion knows what he's doing 
, if you ask me. I mean, come on, Deion Sanders is literally telling recruits to join the team if they want to "right the wrong" 
. Deion Sanders is trying to rally them with this "dogs vs cats" message, but it's not that simple 
.
. Sanders needs to convince them that he's the right leader to turn this team around 
. The Buffaloes need a spark, and their fans are counting on them 
. my gut says they need to make some major changes on staff, like, whoever's handling recruiting needs a shakeup. maybe then they'll get that momentum back? and idk if recruits are just gonna take sanders' word for it... gotta see them put their money where their mouth is, you feel?
