'12 AZ WR Davonte Neal (Arizona Transfer)

[koonja]

What is going on?

 

[greyhammer90]

I love how all the local people are acting like ND is this terrible place that is trying to steal him away.

 

[phgreek]

uh oh....things are not so sewed up

 

[Irish Fam]

sweet extra medium shirt their bud

 

[Irishman77]

probably still on the phone with a head coach promising him everything and now unsure. this is teetering on pathetic at this point.

 

[Irish Man3]

The fact that he's questioning his decision doesn't surprise me. It's ND but he feels bad bc he is surrounded by Arizona fans!

 

[Meacon Irish]

Obert's got some guns. He and Ed Hochuli are brothers from other mothers.

Yet, he sounds like someone took his stapler.

 

[rtrn2glory]

not good for us if they're still debating imo

 

[jimmymac]

is this for real....

 

[Rhode Irish]

Seriously, who needs fiction when you have college football recruiting?

 

[Irish Insanity]

If this is outta line please tell me and I will delete. But are his parents together?

 

[BestBIrish47]

ESPN recruiting analyst has quoted Kindergarten Student as saying... "who the hell is Devonte Neal? When is recess? and I have to pee."

 

[Domina Nostra]

Wow. What is going on?

 

[jimmymac]

If he's debating... Arizona seems more and more likely.

 

[greyhammer90]

This has reached a level of absurdity that I can't even comprehend. We have a recruiting analysist playing therapist on live tv.

 

[DillonHall]

Kid usually wins out in that situation

Apparently that'd be bad in this case

 

[ab2cmiller]

There's got to be about 50 kids that are pleading with their teacher to please please pleasseeeeeee let me go to the bathroom

“I just felt it. I felt like that was the school for me as far as after football, 40 years after college, it would help me be successful.”

Neal slept on it, revisited the decision, discussed it with his family some more, and chose to stick with it.

“It came down to what’s best for me academically and also in regards to a social life, because you know you have to be social in college,” Neal says.

“I talked to all the coaches from my top four and I just felt it by talking to this specific coach that this was the school for me just because of the respect level that they have for me and my family.

“He doesn’t know, not yet. I’ll probably call him 30 minutes before my conference tomorrow and let him know that I’ll be attending his school.”

.....not so much now I guess

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

I'm actually gonna be pretty mad if he does these kids dirty like this.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

The fact that he's questioning his decision doesn't surprise me. It's ND but he feels bad bc he is surrounded by Arizona fans!

My thoughts exactly. When they were late I knew this was the case. Surrounded by U of A fans and his best friend. You have to make your own way.

 

[irishog77]

Gotta love it when the host of the show says, "Davonte, if you're out there watching..."

 

[tussin]

If the announcer wasn't clear enough the first 15 times, everyone is waiting with bated breath.

 

[NDdomer2]

If I was one of his friends sitting in a room full of elementary kids for over 30 minutes and he never showed I would go to his house and whoop his ***.

 

[gkIrish]

This has to be the most ridiculous February 21st announcement of all time

 

[koonja]

At least Lebron showed up.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

This is not good!

 

[Irish Insanity]

Not sure calling all the coaches prior and giving them one last shot to give a pitch right as your set to decide is a good move.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

Wow. Set up a news conference....and kids...and don't show up. smh

 

[SirStrutsAlot]

Well...sounds to me like he is having second thoughts about committing to ND

 

[Cali_domer]
