'11 IL WR DaVaris Daniels (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

[GreatGolson]

What if...

DaVaris were able to play basketball along side Golson.

Golson would be throwing up some TDs and Ally-oops to DaVaris.

That would be a site to see.

OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO!!!!!

"Floyd comin to train at my place now. Hope he's ready for it"

I like this

 

[Ironman8]

Per ISD, Daniels will be working out this summer with both Michael Floyd and Tommy Rees. Really encouraging, on all 3 player's fronts, and really shows that Davaris wants to (and probably will) come in and make an impact right away.

P.S. He is up to 185, and down to a 4.41 40. Beast.

Let's not forget my favorite Daniels' tangible-- his 41'' vertical!

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

4.41 BEASTLY INDEED!!!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no Oh no!

Up to 185? I remember going "160? That's rather thin" watching the Under Armour Game and people were reassuring me he was at 190.

He says in the article he is up to 185 from the 170 range. This was during basketball season, so he likely lost weight (as most do) to get down to that range. Whether this is the first time he is this high, or he is simply back up to that range, I don't know.

DaVaris is going to be the next Michael Floyd, in terms of productivity throughout his career.

DaVaris is going to be a star.

i hope that you're right...can't come soon enough.

Let's hope without the drinking part though! I hope he has a GREAT career w/ the Irish!

I just did a little research on vertical jump test scores, and I'm wondering if we should be skeptical of Daniels' listed 41'' vert.

He's truly an athletic freak of nature if that's accurate.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I don't know what 41 inches looks like, but this is says it all....

i've always been skeptical of the number, but either way dude's legit...i'd be surprised if 50% of 40s, verticals, shuttles, bench, squat numbers, etc. are completely accurate.

"OH NO! OH NO!"

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Haha what a great call!


Apparently I missed the other 6 times this was posted. I was wondering why everyone kept saying that. D'oh!

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Would be great if the crowd yells that whenever Davaris scores.

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"

I'm going to do a little CSI here...
DD is about 6'4', the basket is 10', at his peak his head looks to be about even with the rim.
120" - 76" = 44" (with a few step start)

I theorize that with ideal conditions a 41" vert is plausible.

 

[rtrn2glory]

it has to deal with arm length too...plus a standing jump measures vertical not running jump.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Arm length doesn't matter but running vs standing is a big difference.

 

[TinyT]

Arm length doesn't matter but running vs standing is a big difference.

I guess it's a good thing that wide receivers are usually "running" routes.

 

[RDU Irish]

Feet are clearly above the waist of a kid standing next to him, even with an angle that is not beneficial. In any respect, well over 36" for sure and some nice ups.

 

[Rocket89]

For some reason I thought he was going to be near 200 pounds when he came this summer. Then I saw he said he's up to 185, and took a look at what the sites had him at:

ESPN-164
Rivals-190
Scout-175

Talk about varying wildly. Now, is he 6'2", 6'3", or 6'4???

Believe 6'3 is accurate.

 

[Riddickulous]

Methinks DaVaris will have 20 catches this year, with possible kick return duties.

Now he is doomed to be on IR.

 

[mgriff]

I gotta agree with Sherm, anything Riddickulous says is a dire prophecy. I really liked DD as well.

 

[Riddickulous]

It's not like I was predicting a big year. He'll get buried on the depth chart and will be forgotten like the heroes of yesteryear.
