2019 UConn Commit - Darrin (DJ) Smith (Frisco Texas) - Decommitted 6/17/18

Yeah, but it’s always a tentative “celebration” till the fax machine spits out the executed NLI.

Well I know you get the point. You’d think Lagow would have made it clear...

 

[Coach J]

Well at least he may have got the ball rolling and opened some doors for us, especially in Texas as we are off to a strong start even without him. So we can thank him for that. Hopefully we keep the momentum up.

I will say one thing if I think I'm a stud RB and I want to play in the NFL someday, I'm going to play for a Randy Edsall coached team before I go and compete with 5-star after 5-star at a P5 school just to get on the field to showcase my skills.

That was disappearing ink...

Just pull the offer. He’s not coming here.
His original commitment was a warning that we were merely a placeholder.
Let him know that we are thankful for his potential interest but we will now look elsewhere for RB.

I mean that seems a bit extreme, but he does seem to require a lot of attention and that is sort of annoying. I wouldn’t waste too much time chasing someone who enjoys that.

Mensah was our last commitment last season and was the lowest rated recruit. We will be fine at RB, dime a dozen. Now if Harris decommits that will be a very different story..

You know, the way this went down yesterday - I suspect Randy grew very tired of the daily need for affirmation and so a line was drawn and that quickly escalated to last night. Randy probably said either you commit (and stop calling me fishing for attention) or you just decommit and move on. Randy's daily quotes where pretty telling this weekend something was going on somewhere.

Don't tell Butch.

My life doesn't depend on UConn sports.

I thought you don't read about recruiting?

 

[Adios]

I will never understand the amount of committing and decommiting that happens in college football

Loyalty is dying out. Good news for us, brand loyalty is dying out, too. This kid was an example of brand loyalty dying out.

 

[huskyblooz]

He loved it here, so he committed. People close to him, said he could do better. Maybe he can go “bigger”. The question is, not what the biggest name-school is, but what’s the best fit? I have no doubt he will go elsewhere..... On to the next RB.

You were touting this kid's verbal as a harbinger of the great resurrection of the football program. So I wanted to know who this stud was. And a couple of days later he is gone. Thoughts and prayers.

Let it go, he's not coming back. RE just said so.

He would not take him.
