Sanders also received offers from Northwestern, San Diego State, Stanford and Tennessee. However, he explained to On3 on Sunday why he chose the team from his home state.

“I chose Colorado because of their track record putting players in the NBA," Sanders said. "At the end of the day, that’s the main goal and I feel like they can develop me and push me to get me to where I want to go!”

He then said that Colorado has been investing in him for over a year and has been treating him "like family." He also gave a message for the fans and shared his excitement for the future.

“A message that I have for the Colorado fans would just be to get ready to pack the house and watch the Buffs turn up because we are going to do special things for sure!”

Before his commitment, he also visited other schools like UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and Northern Colorado.

Sanders is also ranked by On3 as the No. 7 combo guard in the country and the No. 1 player in the state of Colorado.
