One of my favorite movies, with Robert DiNero.
Scott is a joke for quitting on his mates. He has shown nothing in 2 years in the same number of carries roughly as Sumler gets. Sumler and Scott have both shown they are backups to Speedy and Sumler can pass block. Both can catch the ball better than Speedy.
What does it say about a guy who quits in the middle of the season? You don't quit on your mates man.... This is weak Scott.

appreciate your opinion, but got it the first time.....
Bull****, he is smart for doing this. Hawk is the joke.
NFL wont care. All they will care about is what he did on the field, and that he does not have any legal issues. DS was never going to see the NFL playing at CU as long as Juicebox is the coach.
Whatever school he transfers to won't care.
I don't blame DS one bit. He could have gone to any school in the nation, but came to CU. His reward was getting screwed over by the coaches. This just confirms that I think Juicebox is back next year.
Everyone has their breaking point. While you still seem a long ways from yours, it sounds like Darrell found his...
If he blows up at his next school, no one will care. It will be Calhoun all over again.
Ditto you pantywad. I never said he doesn't have a reason to leave, you just don't do it midseason. Period.
:lol:

I would agree that as a rule of thumb quitting in the middle of the season is week, although in Scott's case I would give him a pass since he has an injury complicating the matter.
Wish him well, but imo the great story here remains that the top running back recruit in the nation was beaten out by a guy nobody in 1A even wanted until he landed here at the last minute.

All goes back to Juicebox forcing players into a system, instead to tapering the system to fit the skills of the player. The worst part of this whole thing is that all winter, spring, and summer of next year we have to listen to his bull $hit. That really sucks - it's like being forced to listen to a TV evangelist for hours.
I agree. Scott is doing what is best for him. It appears to me he was jacked around by the CU program (coaching staff). That's to bad. He will be a major contributer at a great school.
Good Luck to him where ever he ends up. Wouldn't it be something if he ends up at California. I'd LMAO.
Worst thread ever.
Here's a question... Can Scott parlay his injury and VERY limited playing time into a medical redshirt this year and play right away next year?
I believe he's played in more than 30% of the games, but his game actions was very limited.

i don't blame DS. kid is making a good move imo. this staff is a joke.
CU and Boulder are great, but he needs to think about more than memories (or lack thereof) at the Sink and winning 4 games a year with these double A coaches.

I can not blame DS for doing this. He was getting jerked around with IMO.
Call him a bust all you want and worship Rodney Stewart (who I think is a great player, don't misunderstand) but DS has the highest YPC of any back on our team this year.
He is sitting at a mediocre 4.1 YPC while RS is sitting at a bad 3.6 YPC. Sumler is netting 3.7 YPC.
Our OL sucks that's why we can't run the ball. But to say that DS didn't produce this year and that RS is better is kind of nonsense when you look at the rushing stats this year. RS has more yards because he gets more touches, simple as that.
This is the ultimate result of DH's refusal to give his blue chip guys a chance to actually play.
Do you seriously think Andre Simmons is glad he chose to come to school here at this point?

He'll surely try, I'd image though that the NCAA doesnt bend the rule, they have a habit of coming down hard on players and soft on programs ask OSU.

Hurt his NFL chances?? :lol: Im not sure right now that his **** attitude is the thing the NFL scouts are most worried about regarding DS. I dont know why everyone is on suicide watch about this. He really wasnt the best back on the team, not even the 2nd best. He wasnt "mishandled". If you want to start and play division 1 football, show up in ****ing shape. He's been all but out the door for 3 weeks now, not a great teammate in my opinion. Not even a good one.
I really dont think he's going to "blow up" at the next school. Best of luck, I guess, but Im a lot more concerned about almost every other ****ty thing this coaching staff had done than the "mishandling" of DS.

I'm pretty sure the NCAA has a 5* RB transfer from CU to anywhere gets an exemption rule.
I take issue with the mid-season departure, apply for the med-redshirt and bide your time. As for the stats even you'd have to admit it easier to run against Toledo than it is against Texas et all.
I've mixed feeling on this. I do think him leaving mid-season is lame. He has not produced while being here, so from what we've seen so far we are not losing much from a player prospective. He could not beat out Speedy, and isn't a better player than Speedy.
The crappy part is yet another high profile, 5 star recruit is leaving Boulder. This off season is going to be a unmitigated ****ing disaster. And I fear the flood gates are going to open with regard to transfers players leaving the program.

I agree Mick, but if it was me I would at least wait until after the season to see what happens here. Hawkins might get fired and Bohn could hire my guy Niumatalolo, and we lead the nation in rushing. He could just as easily transfer after the drama plays out.
Of course that doesn't solve the puzzle of how Scott could beat out a more productive runner in Stewart.
He's going to have a tough time even seeing the field at UCLA according to my boys from there.
