Florida State offers (won't stick)

[The Recruiting Guy]

Darius Winston.

[Hog Fan from Camden]

Boy, he is racking them up!  If he runs a sub 4.4 forty at a camp this year he will end up being a 5 star.  I think he will stick with his commitment to the Hogs.  Just my opinion!

[booogaga]

hey RD what are the odds of us getting him here next year. out of 10. 10 being the highest?

[kobe24]

he runs a 4.4 in his sleep the slowest time he ever ran was 4.38 and the fastest was 4.28

That's good to hear.  We are in desperate need of a big time player on the defensive side of the ball.  Mr. Winston might be just what the doctor ordered.

[Hog Fan from Camden]

kobe24,

I know you have been asked this many times, but what is your feel for him staying committed to the Hogs?

[COCHISE]

As soon as USC offers, he will be a 5*

So far USC has only offered the #1 & #2 rated CB's in the country (Dre Kirkpatrick & Cliff Harris), if they don't get those two they will go to plan B and offer the rest of the top 5. 

[J.A.Y.]

His uncle says that he will be running thru the A in 2009 for sure.

i really don't think D will end up a 5 * there are only about 15 right now for the class of 2009, and it will be hard for him to go from 102 to the top 15.  as long as he stays a hog, i don't care how many stars he has...

WHAT? Notre Dame has offered him and he didn't mysteriously turn into a 5*?  The recruiting sites are sleeping on the job.

[El Puerco]

Ha! Good one!

[toshortrock]

Hope mr. winston stay s a hog

[kclvr]

Why does everyone get so pumped everytime he gets an offer.  Will he win somekind of award?  He's good no doubt about it but everyone in the top 150 will get as many or more unless schools know they are 100% solid and teams just quit wasting time.  I am proud for him but kinda wish the focus would be taken off of him and let teams focus on others.

[COCHISE]

Why does everyone get so pumped? 

Because we have a player committed to Arkansas that Bobby Bowden, Bob Stoops, Les Miles, Steve Spurrier, Mark Richt, Phillip Fulmer, Rich Rodriguez, Nick Saban, Charlie Weiss, Tommy Bowden, Tommy Tuberville, Houston Nutt, Tommy West, Bo Pelini, and Randy Shannon want.  Darius could end up being the most highly recruited player to ever come out of the state of Arkansas, that's kind of a big deal.

[kobe24]

kclvr dont be hater he is the number #1 recruit in the state and one of the best corners in the country the focus will never leave him so dont hate on the kid and if a another kid gets offers like this we will do him the same way so dont HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[japhog]

is darius telling schools that he is interested in the?  How solid is commitment?

[kclvr]

It has nothing to do about hate.  I am glad he is a early commit.  It just seems like an ego thing with some people on the board.  I do understand we don't get many kids of this caliber but like i said it is a ego trip for some on the board because as i stated before most kids in the top 150 get this many offers as well.

And if a recruit makes the national top 150, he has EARNED the hype, it has nothing to do with ego.

[kobe24]

yea you are rite they get alot of the same offers too but they arent from ARK  so we will enjoy this one because it doesnt happen to us very often

[EastMemphisHog]

i hope he stays put

[DeltaBoy]

I will enjoy seeing this young man wearing a Hog next fall.

[Bigfoot]

Not only can Darius Winston fly, he can tackle as well! Very soild tackler!

[SonOfMud]

Darius could end up being the most highly recruited player to ever come out of the state of Arkansas, that's kind of a big deal.

pssst... I think you're forgetting about a kid named Mitch Mustain. He was Parade High School Player of the year, Gatorade National Football Player of the Year, USA Today National Player of the Year, and 2006 Hall Trophy National High School Player of the Year  Very few people have done that.  On top of that, Scout.com also had him as the number one recruit for 2006.

I didn't say anything about Darius being the award winningest recruit, I said he COULD end up be the most highly RECRUITED player to come out of the state.  Let's wait until next February and see who ends up with the more impressive list of offers.
