CU Buffs’ Shedeur Sanders cements Big Man On Campus title with strong spring game performance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:09:49 GMT

Shedeur Sanders’ status as the Big Man On Campus was assumed from the moment he arrived in Boulder with his dad. But on Saturday at Folsom Field, the quarterback went out and cemented that title heading into the 2023 season.Playing with confidence and showing off his big arm, Sanders completed 16 of 19 passes for 219 yards and two TDs, and also ran for a seven-yard TD.It was just the spring game — one in which he was wearing a gold “hands off” jersey — against the Buffs’ second-team defense. But the performance emphasized Sanders’ primary role in the Buffs’ potential turnaround under head coach Deion Sanders. And after a 23-3 record as the Jackson State starter over the past two years, the younger Sanders is ready for the spotlight.“Now I’ve got a couple years under my belt, so I know how to get the best out of guys,” Sanders said. “I know exactly what I want and I’m able to step up and lead us in the right direction....

SAN FRANCISCO — Don’t expect Draymond Green to change his ways in the wake of his Game 3 suspension.“They created Draymond rules before, them sh–s don’t work. Here I am, still sitting here, still winning,” Green said proudly from the podium after Saturday’s practice.“They created those rules before, they didn’t work, they still don’t work. Maybe they did. Draymond won’t be moved by no Draymond rules. I will continue to play the game, I love playing the game. Operate how I operate, be exactly who I am because that leads to winning. If I was losing, they wouldn’t be creating Draymond rules. As long as they’re creating Draymond rules, that means we’re winning, and that’s great.”Green believes Doc Rivers said it best when the 76ers coach shared his thoughts on Green’s punishment.Speaking to reporters Friday, Rivers said he disagreed with the league’s decision to suspend Green.
