'12 AZ WR Davonte Neal (Arizona Transfer)

[STLDomer]

Ben Koyack.....

 

[STLDomer]

If u are taking offensive potential form recruiting rankings then
ESPN: Neal > Tate
Rivals: Neal < Tate

And if u are basing it on film, I don't think u can differentiate. they both dominated

 

[NDPhilly]

Neal>Tate

Neal is a better athlete I agree but not by much.

 

[ChiRish]

I don't understand any argument for him on defense. Maybe for stretches or at some point, but you don't get a versatile, electric, and supremely talented athlete like him and not slot him in on offense. He's going to kill it in Kelly's offense, similar to what this guy did for him at Cincy:

See what he did? Now take a kid that is talented enough to play for anyone in college football. No, you do not put him on defense.

It's that simple.

 

[STLDomer]

Contact should be made with the Neal family about him wearing #23

- #3 is already taken
- it still has #3 in it
- #23 is not taken on offense
- could be a "2nd Coming" of #3 type deal
- Tate wore #23
- Tate and Neal are more alike

 

[dublinirish]

cant see him wearing 23 because Lo Wood will be on special teams with him.

Amazing what a receiver can do when hit in stride.

I suggest this thread be locked until the players report in June. The speculation in here is through the roof.

Agreed. Thread locked for the next month. If anyone has substantial, verified information to post, PM one of the mods (looking at you IrishMoore).

They are gonna be pissed at you dude.Watchout.

 

[Buster Bluth]

It's amazing that even without Greenberry, this WR class is still outstanding. Kelly deserves a ton of credit for going after the most athletic guys in the country.

 

[NDdomer2]

This thread was locked for a month or so I believe because someone came on here saying his SAT wasn't good enough. Thankfully that video puts that to rest. According to the NCAA sliding scale he would only need a 2.0 to be eligible as a freshman to play.

[Sherm Sticky]

Man he is so explosive!

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

I cannot wait to see him in our offence.

 

[beryirish]

Yeah I keep forgetting we got this kid coming in this August. Gonna be exciting because I'm assuming that he will be used this year for whatever reason.

 

[GBdomer]

can anybody else not watch video?

 

[Irish8248]

Doesn't work for me either

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

It was working earlier. Went private now.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

How about this?

[GBdomer]

That is his 2010-2011 highlights Bog. Come on now son.

 

[BeauBenken]

I'm telling you guys...this kid...

 

[Irish#1]

The kid's hips are on a swivel. I see some Rocket and Tim Brown in him. Very fluid, up to speed immediately and field awareness.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Uh, GB. That was sort of my point. Isn't that enough man? What in God's sake do you want?


<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wrZkHKANrNw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If someone wants to keep him quiet, private so to speak, that's fine . . .

Until about next fall!

This video has close to the same title. Not sure if its the same video or not.

I wanted this years highlight tape Jay.

 

[NDdomer2]

It wasn't really a highlight tape per se. It only had about 5/6 plays but had some things in there like current height/weight/40 time/vertical/commited to Notre Dame/SAT score/ and how to contact Luke Neal.

What about this? Like these guys? The play at the end is awesome.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Here is some bona fide, D. Neal news:

He is Phil Steele's preseason All-Independent, 2nd team PR before he even puts on his cleats.

[Bogtrotter07]

Wow! And did you see where Phill pegged Benett Jackson? Anyone care to see how kind he was to last year's corners?
