Colorado Buffaloes football: Deion Sanders lands 22 players on first signing day
A cornerback and receiver, Hunter is the highest-rated recruit in CU history, with a .9999 rating by 247Sports.com. The only other five-star recruits for CU in the 247Sports database are Darrell Scott , Marcus Houston and Ryan Miller .
Coach Sanders went against tradition by not conducting a signing day press conference, but the work of Sanders and his staff spoke volumes as the three-day early signing period got underway.A year ago, he shocked the college football world when he chose to attend Jackson State of the Football Championship Subdivision instead of Florida State. He picked the Tigers to play for and learn from Sanders.
Shedeur Sanders, who has known since his father was named head coach on Dec. 3 that he’d be coming to Boulder, finally made it official Wednesday. Not counting the four-year transfers, CU’s signing day class ranks 42nd nationally, which isn’t a big difference from last year’s No. 47 ranking. However, the averaged rating of 87.19 is by far the best average CU’s had since joining the Pac-12 in 2011. The previous best was 85.64 last year.
Another signing day surprise came when Jaden Milliner-Jones, a safety from DeSoto High School, chose the Buffs. He committed to SMU in June and had a table filled with SMU balloons at his signing day celebration Wednesday. He then took off his sweatshirt to reveal a Colorado T-shirt and announced he would be signing with the Buffs.
