Pilar Sanders tells how Shelomi Sanders didn't have the "whole experience"
Coach Prime’s ex-wife Pilar Sanders reveals one of the not-so-happy experiences of her daughter Shelomi Sanders in the college basketball scene. Striving to carve her own path, Shelomi started her journey at Jackson State, then joined her dad's team at Colorado.
According to Pilar Sanders, Shelomi's connection to Deion Sanders cast a shadow on her recruitment experience. In a YouTube video, Deion Sanders' ex-wife shared her frustration, stating that Shelomi's affiliation with her famous father denied her the full recruiting experience.
“So people who are in sports have a certain level of respect because of the time he did in the NFL and in baseball and whatever."
"That completely stopped Shelomi short of having the whole experience of being recruited, which I thought was very unfair to her.”
Shelomi's basketball journey has been a whirlwind. After a brief stint at Jackson State, she joined her father in Colorado. Now, she's returning to SWAC basketball at Alabama A&M, seeking a fresh start.
Despite Shelomi's decision, Deion Sanders wasn't pleased. He criticized her choice, labeling it 'stupid' and emphasizing the importance of securing a team before entering the transfer portal.
