I’ll admit, I was upset when Demetrius left. Anyone who reads this site knows that. I’m also disappointed that Demetrius isn’t still with the team. He made a mistake in how he initially handled the situation. He’s copped to that. He’s also shown, in the last couple of days, why people think so highly of him. I got upset and went nuts about it. Can I blame that on Ty Willingham too? Demetrius Jones, if by some weird happenstance you ever read HLS, you have my apologies.
“I’m going to root for those [Notre Dame] guys,” Jones said. “The only thing I regret is how I had to leave. [Notre Dame] let me go the best way they could, and that’s pretty fair to me.”
One person Jones does not want to see bashed, however, was Irish coach Charlie Weis.
“He made an impact on my life, how to be a family man, lots of things,” Jones said.”When we talked [this week], we had a healthy conversation. He was talking to me like a father, not just a coach. I admitted to him that if I’d come to him before the Michigan game, he would’ve talked me out of [leaving].
“No matter what happens down the line, my career started at Notre Dame, and that was because of coach Weis. I was a soldier in ‘Charlie’s Army,’ and I enjoyed every minute of it.”
I had really huge hopes for you at ND, Demetrius. I hope you live up to them wherever you go. Good luck.

this is exactly why you dont say ‘f that kid’. he made a mistake, but he’s not some horrible person. just a confused kid trying to figure stuff out. it’s still lame and childish, but at least he owned up to it. and i’m glad he defended CW in the end. should smooth things over with the CPL, although i doubt that was even needed with CB recruiting there…
