When Solomon Wilcots was invited to speak on the Jim Rome show on Monday, he emphasized his belief in Coach Deion Sanders and his potential impact in Boulder.

Rome asked him if he believes that Prime could turn Colorado football back into the “monster” that head coach Bill McCartney had created in the late 1980s.

“I’m almost certain that he can.”

Speaking of his years at Colorado, Wilcots mentioned he influenced McCartney to find players that wouldn’t be afraid of teams like Nebraska and Oklahoma. Specifically, in the area of Compton, California that Wilcots grew up in.
