Darius Stills has decommited from Rutgers
- Thread starter brodo
- Start date
So I guess he's going to commit to his home state community college now?
I think we ought to concentrate on more ''solid'' personalities.....i hate to say it but i don't care right now about his brother being a 4 star.....let him ride his brother too/at WVU or where ever....we need leaders and not be a back up plan....i'm ashamed FOR HIM.....theres a reason were the only one to offer a 6'3'' 280 lb DL....he's App St/Kent St quality who had his shot....i'd have understood if he waited till Oct and gave it DEEP Thought but we were played...I don't like quick OV/impulsive decisions not approved by family....step up Mr Bowles/Hansard....
If they only had one of these at the BBQ this weekend, things would have been different. No WVU ties on the coaching staff. . . . .
Let's just do ourselves a big favor and delete the old threads about him......and minimize the grief and drama. If this is the only kind of circumstance in which decommitment that happens, then we can all deal with that.
What would really help right now is a new comittiment.....especially on DL.

Interesting how WVU makes him look so bad and then he jumps to them so quickly. Next.
Kid is gonna set records! He already committed to WVU, also just set a record for shortest "reopened recruitment"

Well, hope he enjoyed the food he got at the Rutgers BBQ this past weekend.
Too bad in a case like this RU couldn't send some kind bill to the kid to cover whatever he wolfed down while he was here. -I mean what the heck, if he can change his mind the way he did, only seems fair that RU should have the right to rethink having given him a free feed.
Now I'm only kidding about that, of course. (Well, kind of kidding, anyway. ;-)

"I need more time to decide where I'm going to spend my next 4-5 years" ......... and about 3 hours should suffice
Wasn't aware of that, clearly. Well, if so, that's at least one small "positive" about this situation. -But at lease I can hope he got overcharged for whatever he had. o_O
What’s crazy about this is that if he knew deep down that he wanted to go to WVU then why in the world did he commit to Rutgers? He could have waited a while and if he didn’t get an offer from WVU by some point closer to signing day, then he could have committed to RU. There really was no rush.
Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.
seems like it was just yesterday he commited
I suppose I can't really blame him for wanting to stay home. -The way he went about this whole thing, though, is nothing less than a steaming, fly-ridden pile of horse manure.
Now that's simply my opinion, of course. ....But I can say without fear of contradiction that I am the world's leading expert on my own opinion. :pimp:
Cuz he's a PLAYER. :pimp: We were only just a placeholder it's that simple.
Pretty simple. He was there. He was in the moment. He was at the stadium, on the campus being talked up and welcomed by all. In that moment he did want to go to Rutgers as it was an awesome experience and setting and obviously his best offer. In that moment he was committed to go to Rutgers out of the offers he had. Then he got an offer he favored more after the fact.
If anything he could have came out of it with an announcement that Rutgers was well ahead as his favorite out his current offers.
So WVU offers immediately after he commits to RU.
It's pretty clear it was a pity offer to get their foot in the door for his brother.

He played it well, and good for him. It seemed obvious that he would commit to WVU if offered, and that is just what happened.
Frankly, I question the wisdom of us offering and accepting his commitment. It was pretty obvious this would play out the way it did. More importantly, he is a marginal talent for this level. It makes way more sense for WVU to offer, given the family history. It makes zero sense for RU to offer based on the brother, since even if Darius came here, it was highly likely the brother would end up at WVU anyway.

I think DT is a position where you might take a shot on a player. It has been thin the last few years.
We reached for a 2 star player and got burned. Were B10 lets not ever go after a 2 star
Could be WV offered thinking RU might have the upper hand when it came to Stills' parents advising the brother when the offers started coming because they ignored DarIus even though the father played for WV and the kid wanted to be a Mountaineer .
Don't like how it happened and have no idea if this kid is a player. If what you hear is true, then it was a real crapshoot.
Either way, I sort of like when kids stay home and play for their state. I can understand that thinking. Good for him, he got his dream offer, one way or the other.
As always in these situations, next.

Yeah and if this was Michigan youd be looking at your Avatar and screaming "Je*us Chr***t! I don't think its the player (two stars) that's bothersome here..
