Darien Williams

He's better off being a big fish in a small pond. Like Christian Jones last year. Winning is nice but setting up a potential pro career should be his #1 priority.

Nevada is going to be very good this year. Highly likely to be better then us.

I wasn't referring to Nevada, just offering my take on what he should do. Seems like he wants to win from the schools he's been involved with though (Nevada, UConn, etc). But if I were him I'd probably go the playing time route. Who knows if that's even possible with his injury history though.

Nevada is closer to home so I'm sure that plays a role in his visit there.

He played balls to the wall for us despite his physical limitations so I wish him the best.
 
At this point with 1 schollie open, and Williams not signed elsewhere, if I were the staff I'd make one more run at him (like the did with AliB last year), to see if he'd come back for his final year.

That, I think would round out a very talented team and fill the one hole we have.

I know it is water under the bridge, but that's what I'd do.
 
Retaining DW would be a big get to top off this year's recruitment efforts. A big with an edge underneath.

Big difference is that Amar was released against his desires and begged back on the team. Williams asked to be released and is actively looking elsewhere. Not much chance he would be back under those circumstances.

I understand that DW wants more playing time, but was he really so unhappy here that he would burn bridges? Sure didn't seem like that during the season.

He, like half the world, knew Matt was seriously pursuing a grad big is my sense & then considered other options. Unfortunately Matt's target apparently got cold feet.
 
Okay maybe this is more appropriate.

For the record, Matt loves DW, probably as much as any kid on the roster. It's clear Matt also loves Mussini. It's actually great to have a guy like Matt who is obviously close to so many players.
