Darrell Scott Attempting To Return To Colorado?

If his teammates want him back on the team then it’s fine with me. But what an embarrassing situation for Darrell. Mr. 5-star number 1 recruit has to come back to CU with his tail between his legs because no one else wants him? I would still love to see him turn into the star we all thought he would be, but I have a feeling it will just be more of the same (two carries a game, Hagan on his case more than ever, bad feelings all around).

I don’t know why he doesn’t look at another non-BCS school, I am sure SDSU would welcome him or someone like that. I just think there would be a lot of bad feelings brought up as soon as things went south.

There was a comment made by both Scott and Hagan along the lines of the situation getting blown out of proportion and that there was a lot of “He said, She said.” So maybe it really was just a big misunderstanding.

Hopefully things get worked out. It would be nice to add some depth to the backfield.

Don’t know what to think here…. On one hand we are thin at RB from an experience point of view, and a part of me wants everybody to hug and get back to the awesome recruit he was supposed to be.

ON the other hand, what kind of message would this send to others in the Program about quitting when you don’t like it knowing Hawk will take you back? What about the other recruits we just signed?

Like Nebraskasux said, I’d want to know how the other players (who stuck it out) on the team feel about it. What has changed for Darrell, is he more focused? Is he going to bolt again???

Should be an interesting few weeks.

I will hand it to him, it must take some cojones to go ask Dan for re-instatement

Hopefully this experience is completely humbling. He went from being a highly sought after, top recruit, to a nothing that not even non-BCS schools wanted. I really hope that this will force him to work harder……

I am not sure if this is great news or somehow just another let down. I think we are all a bit apprehensive about this. I am sure Dan will make the right decision.
Also, I am a bit perplexed about D. Scott not being able to find another school that will take hime. I would think somebody out there is in need of a RB with his talent, ability.
Is is possible for a school to blacklist a guy? Something seems very odd to me about that.

As many have already said, he has learned (hopefully) that being a five star recruit doesn’t mean anything unless you put in the work. If the coaches and team are fine with it, than I saw welcome back! We could sure use his reps in the backfield.
Would he have to redshirt? Probably could make up spring classes during the summer.

I’d like to see him come back, but he needs to earn his way back somehow and make it up to his teammates for leaving them mid-season.

Let’s put this in perspective:

Say in your younger days, you were lucky enough to land some dates with the hottest girl in school, knowing that you had obviously “outkicked the coverage.” Things were ok, but not great between you and one day, she up and says, “You know what? I’m breaking up with you. I’m out!”

You are devistated for a few weeks knowing that she is seeking greener pastures and another school with some all-state guy named Rick. But when Rick and his other stud friends don’t find her as hot as maybe you did, she texts you and says, “I was wrong. I still want you,” it’s very tempting. Afterall, she was hot as hell at one point.

But really, wouldn’t your boys lose all respect for you if you let her back in, depsite how she treated you?

No doubt, I’d love to have DScott be the five star sexy guy we landed two years ago. But he’s not, and I don’t think he ever will be. And what message does Hawk send his team if he lets him back in, scholarship in tow, when Kendrick Celestine has to walk on and earn his spot back after very similar circumstances, albeit much less public. I hope Hawk maintains his integrity and is consistent in how he handles these – no doubt he will.

In fact, we don’t know half of the whole story.

I’m willing to sit back and let the players and coaches sort it out. If they take DS back, then I won’t second guess their decision. It will be up to him to show his fans and his detractors that it was the right decision.

I have a feeling this is the last anyone will hear of Darrell Scott. He may just fade away and be a “whatever happened to” trivia question someday.

— he can’t keep grades up if not enrolled.

— hard to stay in shape without trainer and facility – not impossible, but if you weren’t motivated when you had a pass to Dal Ward … ?

- hard to compete with a new crop of younger, fitter, more exciting backs every recruiting class - and remind coaches you are “all that” when you didn’t show it at the last school you attended.

Hey, Darrell, sorry to hear it. But it’s your choide.
Best of luck to you.
