Interesting player. It will be interesting what we decide. His highlights are just sprinkled with throws and he is not the most accurate passer.

Too short to play QB? I'm growing accustomed to a 6-4, 230 lb passer.

 

[BobbyMac]

I'd go after the cream of the crop for '17 but not count on anything until after Wimbush's '16 season is clear. It could be a gnarly high ankle sprain forces him to redshirt next year.

There could be All American level QB's at ND in '17, '18 & '19 (if Wimbush redshirts). The pantry is stocked and the road is blocked.

 

[irishff1014]

JMO he needs to work on his passing. He is a run first QB i think. I think he is a good QB but i think we have some other targets ahead of him.

 

[Irish#1]

EG again

 

[rtrn2glory]

EG again

2012 or 2014 EG??

 

[ndfi78]

Possible position switch?

 

[PANDFAN]

If Davis has the size ND is looking for wiltfong believes he will be offered based on what he's hearing. they love his tape and just want see what he looks like physically---247

according to loy--faster than malik

30 lbs lighter...should be.

Malik's not fast. His legs are fast enough... his decisions & reactions are where the speed is.

The question is, is he faster than Wimbush cuz he's the one he'll be competing with and that boy's got wheels.

I don't think speed is an issue. He can get it. But i think we need to see him throw more.

I agree, to be honest.

MZ or Wimbush?

Noooooo! Not another sub-6' QB, I can't take it anymore.

 

[dad4aa]

Noooooo! Not another sub-6' QB, I can't take it anymore.

^This is where I'm at as well. No more short QBs

I'm with you guys. Do you tell MZ and BW that they'll never play again and let them move on or keep them around for depth until you can get some 6-4+ QB's? I assume you pull Book's scholarship immediately right?.

 

[Calabrese's People]

Nope... just sign more of those athletic 6'5+ gunslingers that show great pocket poise and can still buy a first down or two with their feet, while . They love going out of state to a cold-weather school with stacked QB depthchart...

 

[dad4aa]

Nvm

 

[BobbyMac]

All we need is a Vince Young with grades, Cam Newton without the bagdad or Johnny football in 6" heels.

Or they should just go after Jarrett Guarantano since they took the #1 '17 QB right behind him.

 

[koonja]

Krypton Thompson sounds good to me.

Irish offer Texas QB

Avery Davis (Cedar Hill, Tex.) picked up an offer from Notre Dame, per his high school coach Joey McGuire.

Davis told 247Sports.com onsite last week that the offer he wanted the most was Notre Dame.

The Fighting Irish stopped by his school earlier this week for an evaluation visit.

Davis has seven verbal offers.

Texas Tech currently leads Kansas and SMU. Look for Notre Dame to instantly move into that lead group.

The four-star recruit is ranked as the nation's No. 8 dual-threat quarterback and the No. 37 prospect in Texas in the 2017 class by 247Sports.com Composite Rankings.

 

[BobbyMac]

Wow. Congratulations Avery!

 

[zelezo vlk]

If Sanford thinks he's good enough for an offer, then I'm happy.

Haha. This is probably the most pessimistic take I've ever seen on ND recruiting.

It's not just some cold-weather school, its Notre Dame. Its about 4 degrees colder on average than Ohio State, and about the same as Ann Arbor. I think Michigan, ND, and OSU have been able to recruit a few decent QBs.

And the depth chart is not any worse than most Tier 1 schools:

Kizer- 2018
Wimbush - 2018
Ian Book - 2020

So a 2017 QB is going to sit out 2017, will likely not play in 2018, and then will have 3 years to compete with 3-star Ian Book. That sounds pretty reasonable.

Per Wiltfong, the staff loved his tape. They just wanted to see what he looked like physically before offering

If the staff says so then I'm with it. Hope they're right b/c I have a good feeling he'll be choosing the Irish over his current offers. That said, he is probably blowing up this season and has more offers heading his way...??? Him putting it in the air worries me a bit, great athlete though.

It is early to "settle" on a '17 QB...so he must be legit for ND to accept his commitment on an oh' so important position. Maybe another under the radar player the staff found first, then offered quick?!?! Just like Book...Sanford has a noise for underrated stud QBs, we hope!!

I like his high school tape more than Malik's high school tape. He has a pretty strong arm even with that funky throwing motion; Sanford can clean that up though
