DT Darius Parish

People tend to get to worked over these situations, sometimes a kid will go ahead and take the official visits even though he is 100% committed to a particular school, especially kids from families whom don't have alot of money or aren't in a position where they have been out of their communities... for these kids a free trip to another city to see a college campus is like a vacation. Would you turn down five almost virtually free trips to places like California, Florida etc or to see some of the big time college campuses if you are a football fan or a player? I don't think I would.

 
I guess my post sounded like I was much more upset than I really am. I understand if he wants to check out some other places. but he committed then said he would consider other schools as the offers come in....that to me is what is irritating.

Parrish, though, said he would still listen to other schools and hopes to take a couple of visits when his schedule allows it. Kansas and Colorado State have already offered him scholarships, and a host of others are showing interest, Wichita North coach Steve Clark said.

"Nebraska is the best offer I have right now," Parrish said. "If another big-time offer comes from a school the size of Nebraska, I'd think about things then. Right now it's still just a verbal commitment."

That's not exactly a Blaine Gabbert attitude he's taking on there.

true, but i don't think he is a big get by any means, too many question marks about this kid. i think he is just " filler" for us and he doesn't have much chance of anyone else calling either.

 
Remember this quote made by Cally after Josh Freeman reneged on his commit at the 11th hour before signing day?

"We want players who want us because we feel that Nebraska is a special, special situation....If you're a prima donna, if you're a drama queen, there's no room for you at Nebraska. You can go to K-State."

Darius should feel fortunate that Nebraska offered him and pray that the coaches don't revoke the scholly. If Cally really believes in what he said about not having prima donnas and wanting players who feel that Nebraska is a special situation, then he should get on the horn with Darius and lay in on the line - "if you are 'N' because you know that Nebraska is the place to be...great! If not, we're taking back the scholly offer so that a kid that really wants to play for Nebraska can use it."

I get really tired of these players who make a commitment than immediately start shopping. His statements "it's just a verbal commitment" and "Nebraska is the best offer that i have right now" seems like he is hoping for a "better" offer somewhere. His attitude irritates me, as well.

 
Make no mistake about it. Darius Parish is a great pick up for us.

As for the quote in the OWH, I would not put much stock in it just yet. The OWH has not exactly been pro-Husker lately, and their sports writing has been known to be inaccurate. Heck, they even spelled Parish’s name wrong in the title of their article.

 
he may be a great pick for us, but right now his attitude is not deserving of an offer IMO. "just a verbal" my a$$! to me that means his word is worthless!

You have that right. This kid won't get a better offer. Looks like we are stuck with him.

 
Oh no, not another filler! I'm sure he will never get better no matter how good our coaches are at developing players. When will our coaches learn that we can't take 20 fillers in the class anymore? :sarcasm

You're right, were stuck with a player taking up a scholarship and riding the bench cause our coaches have no idea what they're doing. :sarcasm .

 
It's not the fact that he has 10 stars or 0 stars...the fact that he is reserving his spot on this team in case he doesn't get any other big fish offers, he may be taking the spot of a kid that really WANTS to be a husker in his heart but just hasn't verballed yet, or is waiting to take his visits, etc.... he could have went about it a better way is all I am saying.

Wow Alex, I should've looked at this first. This is awful...can you trade schollies in the NCAA?!? Hopefully he will decommit soon to open up for someone who wants to play here. Whoever recruited him obviously missed something...he may have some talent, but he has no desire to be a Husker. :angry:
