Class of 2021 DB Darian "Duce" Chestnut (NJ) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/16/20)

[Toga]

Love it. Kid is a baller and team player
.

Running some Wildcat.

 

[crales44]

Here's a nice little interview/highlight from Jersey Sports Zone.

 

[Frozen]

On the Twitter right now, some Rutgers douche is claiming that Duce actually was not offered by RU. Then somebody posted a Tweet from the kid himself saying that RU offered him. Then I posted a screenshot from his commitment video showing a Rutgers hat on the table. The kid liked my tweet.

 

[721Comstock]

Here he is slowly winning a 400 meters race in 2018.

That was clearly against a bunch of O-Linemen.
Glacially slow.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Welcome, Mr. Chestnut.

Ran a very smart race too. Hung back to measure his opponents, reeled them in and kicked for the win.

Schianos chopper must have got lost only explanation why he didn't choose that national power in Piscataway.

World class DE speed

So “Duce” wears #2 (available next year, btw) & commits on August 2nd.

I think I’ll have a 2nd cocktail to commemorate this.

Waaaaaay ahead of ya!!

 

[CA Monk]

World class DE speed

Yes but with proper S&C he could become a DT

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

Welcome to the map Duce!

 

[tipphill]

this is a great get--- we need jersey guys

World class DE speed

He was first team All South Jersey in track and field in 2019.

Rutgers fans say the darndest things.

 

[ConnectiCuse]

I converted his 6.74 55m to a 40m time using two different formulas and got a 4.48 for both.

 

[PhatOrange]

I converted his 6.74 55m to a 40m time using two different formulas and got a 4.48 for both.

I noted this twice in the old Chestnut thread and also cited the 11.23 100m he's run; which roughly translates to 4.6 (and should be noted top end speed on a 100 usually isn't hit til the midway point.)

I'd guess based on both runs he's probably in the 4.5 range and he's a kid we'll see go sub-4.5 with S&C and training.

AND - with the proper dedication to S&C...
... maybe he really WILL have DE speed!

 

[SUforme]

Yep Rutgers is just so big of a football powerhouse they could choose not to take the #1 DB in NJ...lol. Great get! Go Orange!

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

I'm not sure how much the rise of Andre Cisco affected Duce's decision but I'm sure it didnt hurt that a great CB here under this system is a very possible first rounder

 

[Trueblue25]

Though Cisco’s a safety, it was undoubtedly a positive contributing factor that Dino’s displayed the willingness to start a freshman DB who earned the spot. That, and Cisco’s reached out to Chestnut with encouragement during the recruitment.

He's mentioned both Cisco and Trill several times. I think their development played a big role.

Ran a very smart race too. Hung back to measure his opponents, reeled them in and kicked for the win.

Just like Seabiscuit.

no doubt. Kids want the chance to go to the NFL, DB is an area where we have clearly done a good job in developing talent

 

[djorange1989]

Just like Seabiscuit.

I heard Shady didn’t like Seabiscuit’s 40 time and he bet the mortgage on some other horse
