'12 AZ WR Davonte Neal (Notre Dame Signee; Transfer to Arizona)

[reagdog]

Just read an "insider" article on him (so can't post link) where he says he wants to go to ASU as long as they have a decent season and Dennis Erickson's contract is extended.

ASU should get this one, but you never know in recruiting.

Good luck with this one.I understand Arkansas walked off with 3 of AZ's top prospects this year. Rumor on the street is; they were so pleased, they are literally putting up bill boards in AZ promoting Razorback football

Haha - Arkansas only got 1 AZ recruit. Unfortunately USC got 1, Oregon got 2, Auburn got 1, Nebraska got 1, UofA got 1, Penn State got 1, UCLA got 1 and Stanford got 1.

Seems everyone got one in AZ except ASU (I'm kidding, but almost all of the 4 star guys left the state). Hopefully next year will be better for the in-state recruiting.

I think they actually got 2 according to Scout. A highly touted safety named Kelvin Fisher and a Tight End named Brock Haman. They also signed an OLB from an AZ Junior College.

You guys are right. I forgot about Brock Haman and don't pay much attention to JC recruits.

Losing Brock Haman wasn't that big of a deal because ASU doesn't use tight ends, but ASU wanted Kelvin Fisher Jr. bad. KFJ's dad went to ASU too.

Like I said, ASU needs to be better at keeping kids in state.

Chaparral's Davonte' Neal narrows football list to 13
by Richard Obert - Aug. 2, 2011
The Arizona Republic | azcentral.com

Chaparral senior receiver/cornerback Davonte' Neal, 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, has narrowed his list of colleges to 13.

According to his father Luke, this is the list:

Arizona, Washington, Brigham Young, Utah, Boston College, Southern California, Ohio State, Auburn, Miami, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana State and Oregon State.

Missing is Arizona State, which was one of the first schools to offer Neal when he was a freshman.

"I just like the other programs," Neal said.

Neal said he will narrow his list to five some time during the season and will take official recruiting trips to those schools.

I like many of the young receivers we have on our roster because I believe they are full of potential and I hope that will translate unto the field this year and for a few more to come. The issue is that potential is just that -only potential - and not yet proven. But, if I were a top flight WR looking at major programs and wanting to see early and meaningful playing time I think that OSU would be very attractive. Glad to see Neal's name surface again even if we are one on a list of many. Here's to hoping he makes it to the East for a visit. Are those is the know guessing that an offer would be there if genuine interest would be expressed on his part?

Sept. 2, 2011 - Chaparral wide receiver Davonte' Neal barrels over Marcos de Niza defensive back Richard Doller while carrying the ball during Chaparral's 24-6 win in Tempe.

Marcos slowed Chaparral's offense, but Chaparral started chipping away with the running game. Davonte' Neal, mostly used at halfback in the second half, had 71 second-half rushing yards, including a 10-yard touchdown with 6:51 left to give Chaparral a 24-6 lead.

Love it!

Whoa...great tape! Football might be catching up to basketball in terms of the "diaper dandys"...i.e. offering kids when they're still in the 9th/10th grade. He looks too good to pass up as long as his body development cooperates.

Wow, remember this kids tape from when he was a freshman... His explosiveness would serve us well.

UFM casting a rather large net...no one is safe

Rivals $ - Neal looking at Ohio State

12/6

By Givler...OSU will be in to see him this week...just recently started the recruiting process...has visits to ND and Arkansas scheduled...says he was born near Akron and definitely wants to check out OSU.

Here is the key to recruiting from here on out for 2012...keep all these names on your radar but don't get too excited until they actually make an official to OSU...

We read -

If a kid mentions OSU he is ours for the asking. Stand by your browser for the imminent commit. Our only obstacle to recruiting is a shortage of bananas.
