Remind me again why KSU didn't recruit Darius Parish?

[WavetheWheat]

Looking at your list you have one DT committed and he is a Juco.

Parish was committed to Nebraska and then decommitted and on the 2nd go around was down to ku and Wisconsin.  All pretty good program with interest to a Kansas top 10 player.

Why did Ron Prince's staff stay away from Darius?

FYI.  He committed to ku today and I noticed he had no K-State offer.  Thats the reason for the question.

Maybe he just didn't want to go to school at ksu and it was known from early on?

[WavetheWheat]

Perhaps, but I thought I remember early on that K-State was not interested in him?  Maybe I am making it up.

[Bookcat]

He was an eligibilty risk because of grades.

He was an eligibilty risk because of grades.

He has a 3.7 gpa and already has a qualifying ACT 19.

[WilliamTheWildcat]

Apparently we are just not concerned about getting gouged by the run.  It's a solid defensive philosophy. 

[SCHITZ]

i thought i heard something about him not even being good in hs. granted you can't teach size.

[Saulbadguy]

fp, tc, etc.

[fatty fat fat]

He's not a football player. We'll leave it there.

[joelcat]

He was only city-league honorable mention as a senior, and that is sad in wichita.  Without Browns and Harper city-league football is a joke.  I played city-league and anyone can make honorable mention.  Over a third of city-league starters make at least honorable mention.

I Didn't mean to go all glory-days, but it's the truth.

[PurpleReign]

Yes, I am guessing KSU didn't offer because he fuggin sucks dick at football and we need immediate help.

[michigancat]

I'm pretty sure he went to KSU's camp.  Still didn't offer.  Being fat does not a good football player make.

[joelcat]

i think he was really good at track, so some figured he would make a good football player.

Because K-State's coaching staff has no idea how to develop a 6'3 325 lb. defensive tackle. 

[Bullfn33]

Film is not too impressive.  Maybe he was a little slow for this staff's taste.  idk.

K-State's coaching staff would rather recruit guys like Brayden Burris and Ethan Douglas than a prospect like Darius Parish.

Are you telling me those 2-star, one-offer recruits are going to come in and contribute right away?

[fatty fat fat]

Parish has no skills and is dumb as rocks. There is a reason he commited to callahan/cosgrove.

Tell me you wouldn't LOL at that if the situations were reversed.

Anyway about Parish.. When I talked to Coach Franklin for an hour or so in the airport in Chicago, I forgot that we talked about Darius Parish. He said the kid is a "flippin giant," but really a giant teddy bear. He said if the kid could get physical that he would be a force and he was suprised he was rated as high as high as he was. He said our staff never really was interested.

If we can pick up Calvin, we'll have 4 guys who could be decent, and given that we really only need 1, we just might be all right in that area.  I can see Calvin and Stewart as difference-makers, Finau providing ok depth, and praying that Crews would stop being a lazy nugget.

Like this?





 

Course, like baseball, white people are good offensive lineman, it's science.

[GoodForAnother]

Prince likes to take undersized, fast guys and add to their frame.  Can't see him offering a big guy like Darius...not really a 'Prince' player.  Darius may turn out to be great, who knows, but as of right now I see poor technique in his film.  Looks like he just overpowers the kid blocking him, which he won't be able to get away with in college.  Definitely a project, IMO.

Rusty, you're out of you MIND... there is no truth to that statement at all - none what-so-ever!

Parish was invited to KSU's summer camp, but he had no interest in attending. Then the KSU coaching staff stopped recruiting him.

Ha, Joe Hall was awesome. Remember his breakaway speed at OSU?

[Donald DeFrand]

He sucks.  I couldn't be happier with that de-commit.  That's all we need, another stiff on campus.

In all seriousness, there is potential there but he sounds like he may have motivational issues which isn't uncommon amongst DT's.  The fact that he's getting stood up by 190 lb OT's has to be concerning though.
