Brian Kelly is personally recruiting Davonte.

Fingers crossed.

I wonder how much, if any, Rodriguez going to Arizona will matter?

Rich Rod will be all over him immediately but I still think he ends up a Sooner.

A WR like this is what helps Rich Rod. I don't know what their QB's are like though.

He wont be a Sooner. Your thinking of Durron Neal. He will end up somewhere on the west coast if Errickson sticks around he might end up in Tempe.

On a side note there was an article in the local newspaper about all the State of Arizona high school football records that were broken this year and this was Davonte's coach's quote:
Link to whole article

"If I wanted Davonte (Neal) to have 60 touchdowns (this season), he could have it," Ragle said. "There are several coaches that run powerhouse programs, and on Friday nights, they can choose for their kid to set a record, but they choose not to. Ultimately, it's the coach's choice on whether they set a single-game record."

Contrary to other reports, visit is still not set yet but staff is truly to get him here for the banquet.

Other schools that figure to be factors are LSU, USC, and Auburn.

Cooks and Alford are recruiting him.

Who reported that the visit was set?

I will say this about punt returns, we could have Devin Hester back there, what we need is a new formation to cover what people are throwing at us. Without that, even the Golden Returner would be fair catching.

This. The set up we have right now terrible. I'm not sure if the staff is just playing it safe with the troubles we had at the beginning of the year or what. It's not fun to watch right now though.

wouldn't have agreed with you in the beginning of the season. Would have told you that Goodman just plain sucks. But I'm starting to think your right!

Floyd has done much better? It's the blocking system right now. The staff is more interested in securing the catch then flipping field position and after the first game I can't say I blame them.

Just goes to show that special teams is on the back burner. Against alot of these teams we played someone like GAIII cold have helped us alot.

I really want Neal to end up Irish. The kid is going to be a megastar and I have no clue why he isn't ranked higher.

As a CB I only rate Tracy Howard and Ron Darby higher than him and that's more or less because someone needs to go first as these 3 are for most part indistinguishable from each other.

As a WR, I think his upside is as good as anybody's and he will be a special WR if he ends up on offense but I don't see as immediate dominant force from the get go because his game offensive game is unrefined compared to the likes of Diggs, Agholor and DGB. He's as dominant as he is because he's a superior athlete to even those 3 and that says a whole lot.

In time he will be in the same class as those 3 and very well could surpass them because of his ridiculous speed and quickness.
