'12 AZ WR Davonte Neal (Arizona Transfer)

IrishLax · Feb 21, 2012

Just rewatched his film and he reminds me of a less-stocky Darren Sproles on his special teams/RB plays. I expect to see him getting some touches out of the backfield in addition to playing as a pass-catching WR.

THIS has me sooo pumped to have this kid.. Flat out explosive !!.... And I could be wrong but I believe there's a clip of him going against our old friend Darby at one point.. AND WINNING !

(sorry idk how to imbed this) ....... YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

A lot of pages to go through so not sure if this has been posted. But this was put up by NDAthletics of Neal's highlights.

I think this is the first recruit that committed to ND where ESPN has ranked them the highest of all of the recruiting sites.

Golden Tate, Ferguson, Prestwood, Rabasa and there have been others lol. But ESPN was dead on with Tate.

So... something important happen today?

TheRealLynch51 · Feb 21, 2012

I dont post here often, but I am getting MESSED UP tonight in honor of both Davonte and Luke Neal. Here's one to a kid who made a 40 year decision instead of a 4 year one!!! CHEERS!!

Really hope the coaches do the right thing and put him at CB. That is where he is needed most.

I agree it's where he's needed the most; however, I think it'd be a sin to waste his offensive explosiveness

NDdomer2 · Feb 21, 2012

The coaches get a better look at our corner situation this spring, if it is looking terrible then maybe they look to move him to cb. Until then he is all offense.

He has All American potential at CB, not only is he fast but he is very physical despite not being very big.Once he fully adjust to playing corner I would maybe consider putting in certain packages for him on offense.

tussin · Feb 22, 2012

This guy needs to be on offense with the ball in his hands as much as possible.

anybody else see davonte getting love on sports center

NYIrish14 · Feb 22, 2012

So I was just sitting here about to work on some hw and I look up and guess who's face I see on Sportscenter? Of course ESPN has to mention how Davonte Neal left 600 kids waiting at a press conference and then they quoted an II article about Davonte's family emergency. Just so you guys know I am not really mad about this because it gets ND more publicity I just knew ESPN had to say something about it on live TV lol.

anarin · Feb 22, 2012

I get a sense of champ bailey with this kid. Could be just me though.

Agreed that ESPN is helping ND here. Had he just shown up to the presser and committed to Zona or Arkansas then no way it would've made Sportscenter. ESPN gives ND recruiting headline, primetime coverage and you have to be happy about that.

Wasn't all negative either... talked about how much of a playmaker he is and how he's a huge get. Plus, you can't expect them to ignore the presser fiasco... it was a pretty crazy story.

I don't know if you can call it love... the part about his playing ability was very positive but they also spent just as much time talking about his announcement debacle and suggested that Luke Neal forced him to choose ND over Arizona.

Yeah I just had a feeling I would be seeing a story about it on SC made me laugh a little. Definitely helps us though.

Stirring up trouble and Phillip Daniels doesn't like it. Davaris and Davonte don't play the same position but the author says they do and it means trouble for Davaris.

"Kiel to Neal" will certainly provide Tom Hammond with some chuckles. But at the rate he's probably getting plastic surgeries, I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't move his face enough to laugh by 2013.

Haha classic. Man, I really wish they would replace him. Mayock is great at what he does, which is a real rarity in the business. I wish NBC could find someone legit to stick in the booth with him.
