Fourteen Colorado football players entered the transfer portal this week, seemingly creating somewhat of a frenzy in Boulder.

One of those players was former five-star corner Cormani McClain, which certainly is not ideal after the Buffaloes' 4-8 season in which they went 1-8 in their final nine games.

However, head coach Deion Sanders downplayed the notion that their team would be negatively affected.

"We're good. I trust the recruiting team. I trust our coaches, and please have some faith in me," Sanders said on Thursday. "We good. We all right. We all right.

"I think we got some [starting-caliber players] coming in from visits pretty soon, maybe even this weekend, but we can attract those type of players. I don't think we're losing those type of players, and if we do, we're good. We're good. We're making a big deal out of nothing."

As for McClain, Sanders does not sound like he has any hard feelings for the Lakeland, Florida native. It should be noted that in high school, he originally committed to Miami but switched up after Sanders was named head coach at Colorado.

"I want the best for [McClain], man. I really do," Sanders said. "I want that kid to soar. I want him to man up. I want him to be the best possible athlete and human being and person that he could possibly be.
