Doesn't sound too good for the Hogs so far.  DW has said it has always been his dream to play at FL and he is giving GM a chance out of respect.  Anyone else have other thoughts?

And the fact that he's visiting Arkansas to see his friends. I really don't think we'll get him.

I wish they would ask about his perception in the difference between the 2 offensive schemes

Sounds like Alex Wood may be a big key for Damian.

Hiring Gus was a big hire, but hiring Alex seems to have been a really big hire by HDN as well, as far as the recruits are concerned.

Well I am listening, and to me, he has impressed me. Regardless of where he goes, I think DW will have success in life whether it's on the field or off.
Good Luck DW.

DW was asked about reports that he doesn't like HDN. He said that is not true at all. Said his dad doesn't have aproblem with HDN at all either.  Said he's had a relationship with HDN for awhile now, and that he used to play basketball with HDNIII.

DW asked HDN to come speak at their banquet, and that if he didn't like him, he wouldn't have invited him.

He will be a bigger part if he goes to Arkansas.    In 50 years if he goes to Fla, he will just be that guy....you know....what was his name.... played with Mitch Mustain in high school....
Now let's go win a Championship!

Great show this morning with DW!  He is great kid.  He will excel in wherever and whatever he wants to do.

I wished they had asked questions that might give us more insight...such as what he perceives as the differences in his role if he plays under Malzahn compared to Meyer at Fla

Would also have liked to hear what he thinks about the glut of highly rated WR's commiting to FLA

January 25, 2006, 07:42:51 am #16
The show with Dw was a lot shorter than the one with MM.  Mitch seemed to be a lot more open as well?

Our only hope is if he is being veiled in his comments so he can wait till signing day and pick Ark. without having to worry about the backlash from Fla.

Maybe, but it's somewhat irrelevant.  How many Cardinals fans live in Arkansas who have never been to St. Louis?  The bottom line is that Damian's been telling everyone all along that he's a gator.  Maybe Gus can make the case and the scales tip in the Hogs favor at the last moment, but right now I'd say it's 70% FL - 30% AR.

a couple of comments for Channel Five's Michael Irvin to address:

Damien is the 9th ranked reciever in the nation by Rivals.  95th overall.  Thats pretty good.

McFadden was a 5 star.  His ranking was 6.2   actually better than Mustain (6.1)  McFadden was the #2 multi-purpose running back in the nation.

Or it could be that Mitch Mustain is that guy...that you know...went to the same High School as Damian Williams...

That is why we play this stuff on the field...

You guys are hilarious.  "Hopelessly optimistic."  I could see the following exchange happening:


Irwin:  "So basically, Florida is where you plan to go?"

Damian:  "Yes.  I can't wait to go.  I've always dreamed of being a Gator and that time can't come fast enough."

Hogvillian 1:  "I could tell in DW's voice that he was smiling like there was something he wasn't saying.  I think he might be coming to Arkansas."

Hogvillian 2:  "Definitely.  I'd say he's a lock.  Wooooo!  Pig!  Soooooie!"

McFadden didn't get as much hoopla because he committed to Arkansas very early, and stuck with it.

Agreed Tulsa.  But to sell this season short of his Rivals ranking is just rediculous.  This is what accurate recruiting websites provide:  McFadden was a 5-star...and he was a Freshman All-america.  No story to this one.  Rivals was right.

I tend to side with FL Keys -- DW is headed to FL right now. Maybe the in-home will help, but it does not look good.
I thought, though, that some of his friends were going to UA - maybe that will help as well.

What straws? I am simply taking Damian at his word. 

He said that as of now, he is "committed" to UF, but Arkansas is "coming on hard".  He said that he has a decision to make, and it may be next Wednesday morning before he makes his final decision.

All I said is that Arkansas is still in it.  If the UA wasn't still in it, all Damian had to do was say on Press Row this morning that UF was his final answer, and that UA has no shot.  He didn't say that.

Not grasping at straws here.  Just being realistic, cause that's just the type of guy I am.  ;)

If he decided to come here great, honestly I'd say he's about 90% FL.  10% treating the hog nation with respect to at least listen.  Who knows, with mcfadden, mustain, and improving defense....maybe next year we still a big time receiver from another state.  We got the ball rolling in the right direction this year for the first time in a while...next year we fill in missing gaps which won't be as hard next year after we finish with 8 wins and go to a bowl game.

Fair enough.  In the end, you and I would like the same result when it comes to Damian.  However, my version of being "realistic" is that he will be playing for the swamp sucking reptiles next fall.  That being said, Gus and Alex were able to pull MM from the clutches of the Irish.  The difference is that Mitchell's a lifelong Hog fan; D's a lifelong Gator fan.  I still think it's 70/30 in favor of FL.   ;)

This is for Cousin Eddie....

.No Damien. Forget it. Will not happen. It is perfectly ok for Damien to be a "nice guy" and not go to the UA. Just because he has chosen UF does not mean he will shun Arkansas media or be an ahole. That is not who he is. It probably feels nice to imagine the wonderful possibilities of MM and Damien but it will never leave your imagination and will vanish before Feb 1. Just telling you a fact.
