Deion Sanders Made Transfer Earn Number—and it Paid Off
Deion Sanders Made Transfer Earn Number—and it Paid Off originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Colorado head coach Deion Sanders offers something more foundational compared to other college coaches. An NFL-experienced staff and a culture built on competition. It's a big reason why everything at Colorado must be earned. When LaJohntay Wester wanted to get No. 1 last year, he earn it from Sanders, who doesn't give out his best jersey to anyone. Advertisement Sanders' message has been clear to all his players. Show up and be the best you can at all times. Tulsa transfer wide receiver Joseph Williams recently went on the record about being courted by Coach Prime while being committed to Utah. The 2024 AAC Freshman of the Year told the Reach The People Media's Darius Sanders there was another school willing to give him No. 8. But Coach Prime explained Williams it's that easy, it's not worth it. 'I'm not going to say the school, but a school made a phone call when I told them I wanted No. 8. He said, 'Yeah, reserve the number until I say otherwise,'' Williams said. 'But Coach Prime said I had to come in and earn it. That really got me. He's not going to give me what I want just because I want it. I have to earn everything. My jersey number, things I need, things I want.' Advertisement For Williams, Sanders' basis for earning the number was eye-opening. Related: Deion Sanders' Cryptic Three-Word Message Comes After Publicizing Health Setbacks 'My whole life, we didn't live the best, we struggled a little bit,' Williams said. 'My mom always taught me never take the easy way out. If you take the easy way out, nothing good is gonna come out of it. Hearing Coach Prime say that, all I heard was my mom—'No easy way outs.' That was super big for me.' Related: Lil Wayne Sends Clear Message to Deion Sanders in Tha Carter VI Sanders' message isn't for everyone. Especially with NIL deals being offered in massive amounts. But Williams is a natural fit for his mindset. He brings character to a deep WR room ready to catch passes from either Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter or five-star Julian 'JuJu' Lewis.

Yankees face lineup questions with Stanton's rehab approaching
Yankees face lineup questions with Stanton's rehab approaching originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Giancarlo Stanton is finally inching closer to a return to the New York Yankees' lineup, but the team still faces some lineup puzzles when he is finally back. Advertisement Stanton could start rehab games as soon as next Tuesday with the Somerset Patriots, Randy Miller reports. If all goes well, he might be back in pinstripes for the Yankees' June 16 series opener against the Angels at Yankee Stadium. It's been a long road back for Stanton. New York Yankees star Giancarlo StantonJay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images He's been out since January with severe inflammation in both elbows, a setback that's kept one of New York's most feared hitters off the field. Stanton's career numbers speak for themselves: a .257 batting average, 429 home runs, and over 1,100 RBIs. When healthy, he's a game-changer, as he showed last year in the playoffs. Advertisement But injuries have chipped away at his time on the field, he's averaged fewer than 95 games a season since joining the Yankees. In the meantime, rookie Ben Rice has stepped up in a big way. This season, Rice is hitting .245 with 12 homers and an .841 OPS. He's become a flexible piece for manager Aaron Boone, rotating between first base, designated hitter, and even catcher at times. Andy Martino of SNY reports that Rice will continue this rotation, especially with Stanton's return looming. Martino reports that there is no plan for Rice to play any other position, despite the wild speculation about him moving to third base. And then there's Paul Goldschmidt, a veteran bat anchoring the lineup. After a career-worst season in 2024, Goldschmidt has had a resurgence. He is hitting .282 with 15 home runs and 48 RBIs through early June. Advertisement The Yankees will have to juggle all three in the lineup. Between Stanton, Rice, and Goldschmidt, they will have to figure out how to keep their power potent without sacrificing lineup balance or player health. There has been a lot of speculation and consternation among the Yankees fanbase about this first-world problem. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has long been a proponent of proactively resting players, particularly older players or those with injury history. He will sure use this to protect both Stanton and Goldschmidt down the stretch, while still letting Rice develop.
