'12 AZ WR Davonte Neal (Arizona Transfer)

[Andy in Sactown]

I didn't expect him to take the stage and talk about all his potential destinations for 10+ minutes each. So the whole he's not here angle early on seemed ridiculous. And then it got weird and twitter reared it's ugly head. This is all so bizarre.

if i ever make fun of my wife watching the kardashians i am nothing but a hypocrite

Tweet of the day:

@NDatRivals: If Davonte Neal shows up and announces that he's signed with Houston, I'm calling it a career.

 

[palinurus]

"power struggle" between dad and son? What an unfortunate way to say that. I'm sure they are trying to figure it out, at worst, but doubt it's a blowout "power struggle" between two opposing forces.

 

[Mr. Larson]

Thank God Petros Papadakis isn't covering this. I cringed when I saw that Fox Sports had the call.

 

[Cali_domer]

Big footing elementary school.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

What if his calls to all the coaches are holding him up?

Irish Illustrated @NDatRivals
Some great reporting on Fox Sports Arizona about how the Kyrene de la Esperanza Elementary School xylophone team is working overtime today.

 

[Irish Fam]

okay im no longer nervous. this is just comical now. i hope it goes on for atleast another 20 minutes

 

[anarin]

power struggle?

Davonte " I wanna go to Arizona"

Luke " Notre Dame!! get your head straight boy!!!"

and now he may not show? *sigh*

 

[phgreek]

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 ***.

...Yup, me too

Again, last night the family still felt confident in choice as Davonte Neal wrote his speech, but clearly a bit of a hold up here.

 

[odieholtz]

Do we really want a kid if his dad has to make him come here...........?

[IndyIrishFan1]

There are some P!ssed off teachers at that elementary school.

Do we really want a kid if his dad has to make him come here...........?

**** yeah because he'll love it if he does.

 

[ohara831]

If there is a struggle, not feeing so good. Tells me dad wants ND and Davonte wants UofA. My gut tells me dad will let him go where he wants. Hope I'm wrong. Hope they are just stuck in traffic.

 

[Irishman77]

PATHETIC...i pass

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

This is ridiculous. What an absolute mess he has turned this into. I'm watching 50 8 year old kids sit on a floor, out of class, while Davonte pulls a no-show.

I respect how they've handled the process up to today. Recruiting is out of control.

 

[palinurus]

Do we really want a kid if his dad has to make him come here...........?

Yes.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Do we really want a kid if his dad has to make him come here...........?

In Neal's case, yes. In Golic's, no.

 

[beryirish]

Michigan rang in as he was talking to Coach Kelly and now they are in the picture and he is rethinking....

Yes

 

[greyhammer90]

I wasn't being serious dammit!

 

[palinurus]

Anyone know what Urban Meyer is up to this morning?

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

"played a extra set" lol

 

[Irish Fam]

hahah reading off tweets on air. talking about an elementary school's xylophone team. best 25 minutes of tv i have ever watched

 

[Domina Nostra]

If he chooses Arizona, which now seems likely, this has all made it a lot easier not to care.

 

[SirStrutsAlot]

Can't lie, as much as i want him to be Irish, i don't want him to come just to please his dad.
