I thought when they were recruiting DGB, we offered a scholarship to Darnell just to please DGB and family. I didn't think he was much of a prospect but it helped land DGB. Maybe I'm wrong.

I spent a brief period of time (about 2 weeks) as a 14-year old terrified that I might have a brain tumor (eye problems). Really tough to deal with, and I wouldn't be surprised if that caused him to act out and have trouble focusing. I was lucky enough to get a reprieve after a few weeks. He spent 2 years going through chemo with his life on the line and feeling terrible.

Kid is an incredible athlete, if he can recover from his treatments. I know nothing of his off the field issues, though.

He was going to be a legitimately recruited kid on his own before the leukemia, which struck before his brother's senior year (his sophomore year).

Thanks. I really didn't have any idea that he would be a top recruit. I knew of the leukemia.

As a basketball guy, though. He was a freak of nature in middle school.

Would probably give even more benefit of the doubt, in that case. And if it truly is a problem, he'll go the way of Drew Temple, I'm sure.

It might've been hyperbole, but my friends have said Darnell was slamming it down as a 6th grader.

Pinkel references talk radio, media as challenges on the recruiting trail. "Our program was somehow doomed." Said it impacted recruiting.

Darnell went to a skills camp before he got sick. The tests of his athleticism were right in line with Dorial's at the same age.
It's unlikely that he'll ever fully recover. If he does, that's great. If he doesn't, it's not all that different than using a scholarship on Nick Demien.
