Carter Stoutmire has familial ties to Coach Prime that predates his time with the Buffs. When he received the news of Sanders' cancer, it wasn't taken lightly

It's been a few months since they've seen their coach after Sanders stepped away to deal with his health. He revealed Monday that doctors removed his bladder to ward off an aggressive form of cancer. He had a section of his intestine reconstructed to function as a bladder.

Colorado defensive coordinator Robert Livingston said his initial reaction to learning of Deion Sanders' cancer battle was one of fear, not for the future of the Buffaloes, but for the coach's life.
