Deion Sanders is standing his ground when it comes to his recruiting approach.

After a USA Today report noted Sanders had made "zero home visits" to recruits since being hired by Colorado in 2022 Sanders responded and explained why he takes a more conservative approach to recruiting away from campus.

"My approach is totally different than many coaches," Sanders said, per David Ubben of The Athletic. "I'm a businessman, as well so I try to save our university money every dern chance I get.
