The Cinti folks shouldn't get too excited. He's committed/decommitted several times so far and will probably announce a different school sometime later this week.

In any case, I'll bet he's kicking himself for not jumping on OSU's offer when he had the chance...

I'll still wish him the best of luck!

I dont think that's the right thing to say in this situation. He decommitted from the schools in which the coaches left. It's not like he grew tired of each school and decided to decommit

From the Cincy site. Woods talks more about his verbal to the Bearcats. He says that he chose Cincinnati because it was somewhere that he could make a serious impact. He also says that coach Kelly and his system were a major factor in his choice.

Great fit for D.J. imo and I thought the same thing...he can thrive in Cincy's system.

The pictures set atop the living room piano in D.J. Woods' home form a chronology, of sorts, of the youngster's football career.

The snapshots in time begin with him at 5 or 6 years hold, standing in uniform, smiling and cradling a football, then advance through his Pee Wee days as a Vikings standout and culminate with images of deft catches by a high school star.

Space will be made for Woods pictured in a University of Cincinnati uniform. The Strongsville wide receiver will sign a national letter of intent in the high school library today, locking him in to play for the Bearcats on Saturdays. Always intent on being part of the team, he will be with teammates and future college players Mike McCarthy (Naval Academy), Eric Stoyanoff (Princeton) and D.J. Main (Youngstown State).

Someday, room on the piano top may vanish.

"I want to play pro," Woods said with quiet resolve, sitting relaxed in his dining room on Monday. "I want to play pro."

D.J. says he passed on Ohio State because the Buckeyes were considering him as a defensive back, and because he didn't want to "just do what everybody else wants to do."

he may have passed initially for that reason, but if I remember correctly he had renewed interest and came back looking for a spot in our class, and the offer was no longer there.
