I am inclined to agree with you, the only way he doesn't go there is if tricky Ricky and Norm Chow have looked at what they have, looked at Scott and said....not sure he brings anything to the table we don't already have.

the injury story doesn't ring a bell?

Who ... me?
I know a guy who is just like him and they both make me sick. Always looking for the angle. Always looking for the loophole or technicality.
And surprise, they're both lawyers!

Actually, IRC, Scott said "I'm fine" and Hawkins said he was dinged up. I wondered why Hawk would say that.
Then Scott has knee surgery and I flip-flopped and wondered why Scott would attempt to play hurt and risk greater injury.
Bottom line: I know nothing about their relationship.
But in leaving, Scott has not given any parting shots to indicate the coaching staff was to blame, or Hawkins in particular. It may well be true, but he hasn't said anything to that effect.
Liver's more of a reformed lawyer. I have no doubt he used to be like that, though. :smile2:
Um, that's their job.
Sit through a negotiation and see the other party has one of these guys too. If your guy sucks more than theirs you end up not ending up with as money as you thought you would.
It becomes second nature to them eventually.
So it was the Weasel's job to break the spirit of all those recruiting rules, so long as he stayed within the letter of the law (such as being out front of a recruit's house and calling him on a cell phone during a dead period)? The NCAA felt differently.
I have been an active participant in many negotiations. I have worked both with these guys and against them. And you don't have to stoop to their level to be an effective negotiator.
Being a sleaze ball is just in some people's nature. Slick Rick is one of them.

Supposedly, they flat out don't want him.
1) they are deep at the position and are recruiting another
2) they don't want to give an injury riddled player 3yrs schollie to play 2 yrs
3) RN is concerned with the perception he is poaching CU players.
I really believe he will not end up there.
I am with you on those points the question is does RN&Co believe the talent and upside out weight the above? Personally i dont think they do. But I know others here think Scott's supreme talent out weighs the the above issues and his clear history of team bouncing and quitting.

beware the habu
He's supposed to stop a habit he developed the minute he left for UW?
That's why I think he's just playing a game right now and that DS will end up at UCLA.

I think the only way that happens is if he walks on, and they may not even invite him.
Of course, there's always the very slight chance that I'm wrong, so we'll see:smile:
I fully admit I have zero evidence to back up my claim, just how it feels to me right now. We'll see...

wow, just thought of something.
Nothing like a five-star kid getting turned down by UCLA to make any other fence-sitting possible transfers think "yikes, I better think this through."
Thanks, Darrell, You may have just contributed to a lot more stability than you realize.

Hawkins never let this guy be great, give him a break. He had over 3k yards and 45 touchdowns his junior year in high school. Only one touchdown at CU...hmm is it him or the coaches

I believe that DS has the talent to be an extraordinary running back. I wish it was going to be for CU.

haha, ok so I just got a neg rep and this after my post "Great players don't need a coaches permission to be great."
You are a dumb ***, pretty difficult to do anything when your COACH has you sitting the bench!!

I didn't rep you either way, but I don't see that comment from you anywhere.
Great players may not need anyone's permission to be great, but they do need a coach to give them playing time. Ah, there's the rub.
Pay $15 and you can see who left it...:lol:

They are going to wonder what the problem was since he wasn't a star here. It hurts him because they don't know whether it was a coaching thing or a player thing, and it's easier to just move on to the next high school flavor of the month, injury and baggage free.
Not ripping on Darrell, just saying how I imagine it affects him.
