Not only DW, also USCs next year's QB Mitch Mustain, an Arkansas transfer.
These two boys were from Fayetteville (sprindale highschool) coached by then highschool coach Gus Malzahn (a brilliant offensive mind). With three more division I prospect he built a program that was unstoppable (highschool level). 2005-06 Houston Nutt was the coach. With a losing season the year before it was imperative for Houston to get the home grown talent to come to Arkansas. So he gave the Gus a job as the offensive co-ordinator and got 4 of the five talent. Mitch was #1 in the nation QB. DW was #2 or #3 WR in the nation. The soap opera began.
Gus wanted his high powered highschool schemes install in Arkansas. Nutt (An Arkansas QB one time) had his old not to lose mentality. Arkansas by then a team marvelled by the running game never could give Gus the free reigns of the offense. He left for Tulsa. The QB had trouble getting playing time (there was some hate emails and ab-jab stuff) and wanted to transfer to USC. Nutt released him. Soon his best receiver followed his QB to USC. Pete Carroll at the time of 05 recruiting came to Fayetteville few times to get these boys. So he was happy to receive them in open arms.
Now Houston is coaching Mississippi. Gus is the offensive Co-ordinator of Tulsa (I think they have one of the top offenses in the nation if not the best). Mitch and Damien at USC.
