To the extent any of Davonte's family or friends may stumble upon this thread, what follows is a brief comparison of the value ASU, LSU, ND, UO, and USC provide to their black football players.

Graduation Success Rate for Black Football Players:
ND- 100% (1st in BCS*)
LSU- 69% (17th in BCS)
ASU- 57% (36th in BCS)
UO- 51% (52nd in BCS)
USC- 46% (57th in BCS)

30 year Return for Graduates:
ND- $1,623,900 (2nd in BCS)
USC- $1,273,000 (6th in BCS)
ASU- $873,000 (39th in BCS)
LSU- $816,500 (42nd in BCS)
UO- $666,500 (65th in BCS)

Expected 30 year Return for Black Football Players:
ND- $1,623,900 (1st in BCS)
USC- $585,580 (21st in BCS)
LSU- $563,385 (24th in BCS)
ASU- $497,610 (38th in BCS)
UO- $339,915 (63rd in BCS)

ND offers ~3x more value than USC, ~3x more value than LSU, ~3.5x more value than ASU, and ~5x more value than UO to black athletes.

*Rankings compare only schools with football programs in AQ conferences and schools that have made recent BCS appearances. There are a total of 70 schools ranked, so 35th is the median.

If Steffon Diggs even visits ill be shocked but to land him i just dont see a way. Nelson and Neal you can go 1a. 1.B. We dont have a slot guy anywhere on this offense. We have a ton of guys who can play outside the numbers. Thats why Neal i think is so imporant to this class.

This is going to make me sound like a homer but I don't see why Diggs is rated higher than Agholor and Neal. Does he run better routes and have better hands because he doesnt have the blazing speed that Neal or Agholor have.

Diggs is pretty unreal. He tore up Friday Night Lights and rivals is all over that stuff. Neal might be quicker but Diggs is faster and is perfect size. I know what your saying just dont know how to answer it.

prolly got triple teamed all year and ran away from so he didn't end up with 30 tfl's so that must mean his stock has dropped.
