$45 million worth Deion Sanders heaps praise on South Carolina HC Dawn Staley following Gamecocks' SEC title win: "Love ya 2 life sis"

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders heaped praise on South Carolina women's basketball head coach Dawn Staley. Coach Prime, who is worth $45 million, congratulated Staley and her team on winning the SEC tournament title by defeating the LSU Tigers 79-72.

Sanders took to X and praised Staley for her coaching skills, stating that she is one of the people he looks up to in life.

"@dawnstaley is so good as a coach and so fly as a icon! Love ya 2 life sis. You are one of my SHEROES! #Allshedoiswin," Coach Prime tweeted.

The South Carolina Gamecocks have been impressive on the court throughout this season. They have not lost even a single game this campaign and have extended their record to 32-0 with their recent SEC tournament title victory. This victory also marks Dawn Staley's eighth SEC title in the past 10 seasons.

Staley has been the head coach of the Gamecocks since the 2008 season. She signed a seven-year $22.4 million extension before the start of the 2021 season which keeps her as head coach of South Carolina through the 2027-28 season.

Staley and her team will now be preparing for the NCAA tournament where they will be favorites to win the national title. Last season, the LSU Tigers emerged victorious in the national championship game after they defeated Iowa. But this season, if the Gamecocks can continue their momentum, they will have a chance of emerging as undefeated national champions.
