Darius Philon — the conflicted Alabama commitment who chose Arkansas sight unseen when the Tide tried to get him to delay enrolling for a year — is feeling better about his decision to matriculate in Fayetteville.
According to Richard Davenport of WholeHogSports.com, Philon’s defensive coordinator in high school says the player “has been wearing Razorback clothing to school and is all smiles about attending Arkansas.”
The coach also said that Philon had surgery on a torn meniscus before Christmas, but he is “rehabbing well and should be ready to go in the fall.”
Anyone not wishing the best for this kid has a heart of stone.
John, Alabama only asked him to delay enrollment a semester. Happens every year on every team.
The picture is shown a little out of context, he placed that hat on his head before changing his mind later on. Although the injury he suffered doesn't seem to be serious. Last time I checked it isn't a crime to offer a gray shirt to an injured player. I wish Darius the best I am sure his career will be followed closey.

Not sure that I saw a line in this story suggesting a crime had been committed.
Thanks for reading,

What? No one feels bad for Auburn for his decommit?
Has he been to the U. of Ark. campus yet? That might make him feel a lot better.
The Hogs welcome him and his family with open arms!
