He said his offer came in the mail. Had he spoken to someone over the phone, he'd have committed on the spot. At this point, it sounds like all he needs is a phone call and he is verbal #3. Unreal.

His brother was recruited by ND but chose Arkansas after TW was fired and ND still hadn't hired CW. He doesn't have any of the coaches' phone numbers.

"... if Charlie Weis sent me a text message, it would be 'LSU Who?'"

Someone call this kid!!!!

 

[IRISHMAN]

yes yes yes, this is good news.

His bio from the free scout database

As a junior Luther finished with 74 tackles, 6 sacks, 10 quarterback hurries and 14 tackles for a loss.

Davis was named to the 1st Team All-State, District, All-N' East LA squads for his play on the field.

This sounds like #3.

All they need to do is call him. Weird.

i've got to believe that CW is all over this. will he be a DE or DT?

 

[IRISHMAN]

what else did luther davis have to say?

Who knows? Rivals says DT, Scout says DE. I believe they list him as a possible TE as well.

He has the build to be either. He is already closing in on optimum DE size and could bulk up a bit to be an athletic DT.

 

[joresendez]

how many de's and dt's does this class need?

 

[joresendez]

because the way I see it, the more, the better....with shutdown corners and quick linebackers or just icing on the cake if we have a loaded defensive line

 

[IRISHMAN]

how many de's and dt's does this class need?

i would say ND will want to bring in 2-TEs, 4-DTs and 3-4 DEs.

 

[scooper]

A minimum of two each, but hopefully more.

 

[jiggafini19]

I look at him and see Paddy Mullen. Thus, I like him at DT.

Notre Dame is really attacking the defensive side of the ball early this time around. I like that.

I agree with this 100%. 3 DE rather than 4, but who knows?

 

[IRISHMAN]

do you guys think that luther davis will be irish by the end of the week?

 

[jiggafini19]

If someone calls him, yes!!

No coaches have been in touch with him. They just mailed him an offer. It sounds like all he wants to do is talk to someone over the phone and say yes.

Kind of a bizarre situation, really.

i thought i read somewhere, where ND was really working their butt off to land this guy. the article gave me the impression that ND wanted this guy bad and they would all but have him if they just give him a call.

 

[irish4life99]

Sounds good. Anyone got his number. We'll call on the behalf of CW. However, I know better. CW is all over this one. Were not talking Ty here.

Luther Davis says ND is in hot pursuit. They want him to make an unofficial during spring ball. LSU and Ole Miss probably have the inside track, but ND is rattling his cage.

You must have read this on 03/03

They'd better get him. Darius Scott of North Chicago was at Junior Day here in Illinois this past weekend. Came in at 6-3, 370. He was supposed to be 6-5 340. Yikes.

Austin, Wade, Barksdale and Big Luther. Get 'er done.

 

[IRISHMAN]

yeah thats the prhase i read jigg, thanks. i think ND lands austin, we have a good chance with wade, Barksdale might be more OSU or michigan bound then ND and we have a great shot with luther as long as someone calls him.

Sounds like he needs weight watchers!!! Tough to see a guy 6'3" 370 pounds flying across the line or jumping to block a pass. On the surface, it sounds like a self-discipline problem. Reminds me of what I thought about Kates.

luther davis is 6'3 254 lbs. and runs a 4.78 40, he's no where near 370 lbs.

 

[St.Kittsnd]

Settle down Irish Man. I was talking about Darius Scott. I was responding to Jiggs post-but you just snuck in there before me.

 

[IRISHMAN]

my bad kitt, this whole luther davis situation must have melted my brain.

 

[scooper]

I don't think they can call him directly right now. But they can text him and ask him to call them back.

i'm surprised Weis mailed him an offer, he usually offers in person, or over the phone....

 

[Dannyboy Ayers]

I would like to see him grow a bit more and gain a little more during his senior year so that he could be a no questions about it DT. and just plug the middle

well derek landri weights like 265 lbs. and he's one active DT with his speed, so really he needs maybe 15-20 more pounds and keep that 4.78 speed.

That would be perfect! I would just like the running up the middle be a bit more difficult.

 

[Guest]

He'd be a big get, has alot of nice offers FSU, Auburn, LSU etc....

 

[LuckoftheIrish86]

I agree with the posts above, hopefully he'll add on 20 or so pounds and stay at DT. Hopefully CW calls him. I am sure he'll be irish very soon
