GBR #1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Geez Louise! Make up your mind already!!! I am glad he didn't wait any longer to decommit from Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Solid 2 weeks left till nsd. Still time for a couple more flips. How does this kid get past breakfast every day? Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Here's what I'm understanding about this situation. Â Think he was wavering for a bit now and the coaches got wind of it(possibly Foster or Darlington said something to coaches after talking to him at Semper Fi game). So, coaches try to get feel for him and he's seeming kind of unsure so they say the hell with it and start offering other DEs so they don't get the shaft on NSD and just kind of tell him they feel it's best they both go their own ways.

Very possible. If this is the case that would mean the coaches were probably pretty comfortable with there chances with a couple of other DEs. Quote Link to comment

They've always been that way - you just notice more because you're older and the internet shows more of it. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 FollowRutgers Scoop @ruscoop Darius Slade decommitted from Nebraska. God, if we had a halfway competent staff Quote Link to comment
RedRex Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The de-commit is a good thing. Looks like he took our offer as insurance. Rather have him leave now than stink up the locker room karma for a year then leave. Â I'll guess he takes(retakes) last minute offer from the Weasel, and after said weasel finds someone with an additional star next year, he figures out he'll be stuck on 2nd half KO returns till he's a senior. Then he'll take what's left of his eligibility back home to Rutgers (cuz that's what Momma wanted all along). The grass will always be greener on the other side of the fence for this kid no matter what side he's on. Quote Link to comment
dylan Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Tough loss. Good prospect at a need position. The only positive is that we have time left to replace him. Quote Link to comment

The grass will always be greener on the other side of the fence for this kid no matter what side he's on. IDK, I don't see him playing special teams at all. The kid has the raw talent to be a first year, or at least a 2nd year/RSF starter. He has the build and athleticism. I wouldn't go as far as taking shots at that as I would his lack of loyalty. Kids like him usually ruin it for themselves. I honestly wish the best of luck to him, but with what I have read so far, I am not upset about this at all. Quote Link to comment

kozzman555 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 2/10/2014 Â Ohio State is the place for me! I tried all the other beds, but this one is just right! Coach Urban Meyer is such a stand up guy and gave me the best deal....I mean the best chance to get a good education and play some football. - Darius Slade Quote Link to comment
