I have to like our chances if it comes down to us and RU. RU's facilities are not the best and a lot of people in New Jersey speculate that Schiano is Penn State-bound when Paterno retires.

there is an article on yahoo posted feb. 5th where he states he is very high on maryland

edit:here is the url..Another offer comes for 2009 CB Givens - NCAA Football - Yahoo! Sports

Long way to go on this one...has mentioned looking heavily at several schools to different sources...probably not a good idea to get worked up over who is the latest name...what matters is who he signs on the dotted line with and that won't be happening for about 360 days.

Film.

Tall with a slender frame like Andre Amos. Shows good closing speed and the ability to come up and play the run. Very physical like Travis Howard. Long arms are a big advantage when playing the ball in the air and likely has a decent vertical based on the videos. Can play on the outside shoulder and take away the slant as well as play on the inside and take away the fade. Really solid looking CB prospect.

From the Oregon site...has offers from Boston College, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Tennessee and Virginia and a verbal offer from USC. Says Miami (FL) is close to offering and talks about Maryland, Miami (FL), USC, Oregon and OSU.

I really liked Darrell's film...agreed with everything Wad said. I would be thrilled to land Darrell...Givens and Barnett would be a sick pair of corners with some size.

[crazybuckfan40]

Very good film...He and Barnett would make for an awesome combo, and for sure make up for losing out on Brandon Harris this year...

You hit it right on the head wad45, i love how OSU is going after the complete corners over the 5 10" 170 lbs pure speed cover covers who run a 10.6 100 meter but hate to hit, i love the phyicallity of a 6ft 190lbs corner who loves to hit, but can still run

[bobcat84]

pretty sweet offer list, kid has to be in the top 100

[craigblitz]

I agree he is building a nice offer sheet for sure...

I have to like our chances if it comes down to us and RU.

The last recruit we went head to head with against Rutgers was Anthony Davis I believe... So never count anyone out.
