'17 TX QB Avery Davis (Notre Dame Man)

Are the Texas teams something to be worried about here? I see he alerady has a tech offer, but what happens when UT, A&M, or OU come a hollerin'?

Also, not to be a dick, but why aren't we going after more elite talent considering our '16 QB isn't exactly elite?

probably b/c we think the 3 guys we have right now are really good and we need a glue guy like ian book who we know will stick around even if it means being a backup for four years?

just a thought

Most of the Texas schools already have 2017 QB's committed.

He's asking with Ian Book being that glue guy, why not go elite in 2017.

Koon relax bro...he is most likely going to be a top 100 player according to 247....he is LEGIT---also 247 expects if he comes into the fold that he will likely end up helping us bring in a few elite recruits because of him

 

[Luckylucci]

If you trust Sanford then you should trust this offer. Watched him throw in person, it doesn't get much clearer than that.

Sampson said this kid is extremely athletic. IIRC, he has him on commit-watch this weekend. And like someone already said, the local TX schools already have commits. Davis has a social connection to Brock Wright too.

I have no part in any of this, I never said he is/isn't elite. I'm clarifying what the OP was asking.

His film for a junior is borderline elite IMO. I hope we get him now before more offers role in.

 

[Luckylucci]

He plays against good competition and wins a lot of games. He does so by putting up some pretty impressive numbers. Has a lot of athleticism for a QB and would appear to be a great fit for ND's system. Severely underrated by the services, IMO. Strong enough arm to make all the throws and has nice feet while in the pocket. Something Kelly and staff place a lot of importance on. However, two things that stop me from getting too excited at the present. My two knocks would be height and throwing motion. Nothing that would stop me from bringing him on board but would stop him me from saying he's a elite.

Only problem for me with this kid (other than his size) would be that he steps through with his throws, but he doesn't bring his chest through. It's kinda odd. It's almost like a fade away shot in basketball.

Anyways, this likely takes away a good bit of power and potentially some accuracy with his throws.

Mechanics are easy to fix, height is another matter.

I did a little research on NC QBs since 2015. There was not a one under 6', only two at 6' (one of whom had the help of Tim Tebow), and the majority were around 6'3".

Just sayin. . . we could be the first!

I'm assuming this is a typo. since when?

 

[Luckylucci]

I think mechanics can definitely be fixed but sometimes it comes at an expense. Velocity, accuracy, confidence, etc.

I can definitely get on board with this. So good chance height is the only thing keeping this kid from getting more praise. That said, I remember us all saying the same shit about Golson coming out of high school. But with THAT said, Golson's issues were between the ears, so as long as this kid gets it, height be damned I guess.

Nothing much to report ND is #1
No visits planned
Will visit ND again

 

[CanadalovesND]

No update here, but considering we are his leader, and how high the staff is on him, let's seal this deal.

I bump this thread because of what else he can bring to ND, more specifically, who else..

He's got some really talented teammates that ND should be looking at, if they are not already.

Jaylon Jackson, Cedar Hill, Wide Receiver, Charleston Rambo, Cedar Hill, Wide Receiver, Kaegun Williams, Cedar Hill, All Purpose Back, & Camron Buckley, Cedar Hill, Wide Receiver

 

[IrishLion]

Wow. Five different skill players, on the same squad, are composite 4-stars in '17?

That's amazing.

Not a fan of taking all these undersized QBs but I do like Davis. He's got a really strong arm - I think improved footwork would help him put even more steam on his passes and deep balls. That back foot seems to come off the ground with every throw instead of driving forward. I think he looks very comfortable in the pocket and has that crazy 'spider sense' in the pocket when pressure is getting close. Like his short-area quickness. And if it helps nab some top level athletes, why not? IMO, it gives ND a better opportunity to land a BIG FISH in the 2018 class.

Or IMG Academy

Definitely keeping my eye on the IMG situation. Pryor will be there as a safety (ND continues to recruit), apparently Kaindoh has legitimate interest in ND, and I thought I read somewhere that Beal was transferring there as well. Those are 3 potential 5 star players.

Cedar Hill (Avery's HS) is playing Bishop Gorman next season. So a good chance that two of our 2017 guys play against each other.

Avery Davis and Haskell Garrett

Don't forget Biaggio Ali-Walsh in '17..... and I'll bet the house '18's Dorian Thompson Robinson is near or at the top of the '18 QB board.
