Deion Sanders' son gives update about dad's health
In a post on Instagram, Bucky discussed the heartbreaking experience of documenting his father's thoughts and seemed to deny speculations that Coach Prime could retire because of his persistent health issues.
'I'm like, I just want to be there as your son,' Bucky stated. 'I don't really want to document, bro. I just want to be there for you. You know, now as time went on, and as the battle was fought, and the battle was won, I see why.'

Earlier this month, Sanders attended the Big 12 media day and Colorado's spring game, but he kept quiet about his condition at both occasions.
Bucky revealed that in April, right before the NFL Draft, his father's health deteriorated.
He, however, underlined his dad's health report, stating that 'Like I said, it was a hard-fought battle, but it was a battle that was fought and won.'
Dion Sanders to hold press conference
Coach Prime led Colorado to nine victories and a share of top place in the Big 12 during his exceptional 2024 season. The third-year coach is still under contract with the Buffaloes through 2029, thus it seems unlikely that he will leave Colorado after the successful season.
The press conference of Deion Sanders will begin at 11 a.m. MT and be live-streamed on Colorado's Facebook and YouTube pages.
When Dion Sanders opened up about retirement plans
Meanwhile, several people have conjectured that he may retire due to his health problems. 'I don't plan on being anywhere else in my coaching career,' Sanders told NBC News' Savannah Sellers in 2023 while discussing his retirement plans. "It is my desire to one day retire and just walk off, not walk off, I want to ride off on a white horse with a black hat in the sunset in Boulder, Colorado, winning a championship. Championships. Plural. That's what I wanna do.'

They will be arraigned on Wednesday. Read More: Gilbert Arenas arrested, Shannon Sharpe fired: Fans baffled at odd timing, ask 'what is happening?' Now, Arenas' ex-girlfriend and the mother of his four children, Izela, Alijah, Hamiley, and Aloni, Laura Govan, posted a cryptic video on social media. In an Instagram story showing her doing some painting, she wrote: 'Needed to clear my head'. Laura Govan posted a cryptic story on Instagram(Instagram) However, it is unclear if her caption is linked to Gilbert Arenas' arrest. The former NBA player, a three-time All-Star, is yet to issue a statement. Arenas, 43, has also been indicted on charges of making false statements to federal investigators. The indictment refers to Arenas as "Agent Zero," a nod to his nickname during his time with the Washington Wizards. Federal authorities allege that from September 2021 to July 2022, the group operated high-stakes 'Pot Limit Omaha' poker games out of a residence in Encino, California. Players were charged a 'rake', or cut of the pot, while the games featured services from women who served drinks, gave massages, and 'offered companionship'. These women were reportedly required to pay a percentage of their earnings to the organizers. Chefs, valets, and armed security were also hired to support the illicit operation.

Each charge carries a potential sentence of up to five years in federal prison. Arenas, known for his scoring prowess and colorful persona, including nicknames like 'Hibachi' for his ability to heat up offensively, averaged 20.7 points per game during his 11-year NBA career. His most successful stint came with the Wizards between 2004 and 2011, where he earned three All-Star selections. However, his career took a downturn in 2010 after a locker room incident involving firearms with teammate Javaris Crittenton, leading to a suspension for the remainder of the season. Arenas briefly returned to the NBA before playing in China in 2012–13, never making another league appearance. His son, Alijah Arenas, a standout high school player in Los Angeles, is currently a freshman at the University of Southern California. His college debut is delayed as he recovers from knee surgery, with rehab expected to take several months.
