Davonte Neal

Not sure if it is just for attention or not.

His recruiting from us kind of surprised me because we were onto him early and seemed like it died away. He has kept his recruitment very quiet so who knows. Absolutely nothing states that he has interest in LSU though. I don't think he ever made a visit to LSU unless it was an unofficial and kept VERY secret for whatever reason

OSU gear would make much more sense. He's from Ohio and would love to go to OSU and likely will if they have room for him.

So did he mention "BR" specifically, of that he had fun where he was rocking that "gear"?

Did he even visit us? According to Scout he's been everywhere but here.

Notre Dame 12/09/2011
Ohio State 01/13/2012
Arkansas 01/20/2012
North Carolina 01/27/2012
Arizona 02/10/2012

I remember an old thread that said we would get an official visit, but didn't hear much else.

Makes it look like he's not signing on NSD. This may actually help us if we don't sign a full class because the rest of those teams will sign a full class IMO.

He came to a camp like two years ago and mentioned us in his list, so lots of folks instantly assumed he was a LSU lock.

Its Davonte Neal and he goes to my old HS. I work with a lot of the baseball players there and I even posted here last year telling you guys he was wearing an LSU shirt at one of the baseball games. I have no idea if he is going to attend LSU but I can tell you for a fact he does wear LSU gear, I have seen it, and he is the real deal! We would be lucky to have him but I have heard that he is leaning towards tOSU. Ill ask some of the kids at Chaparral if they know anything

They will have room for him. ANY school in the country would have room for him! Thats not me being a homer, I havent checked lately but he was a top 30 overall player my most services all year and he could play anywhere as a CB or WR and he also in an AMAZING PR and KR. He has the fastest freshman in the country and ran a sub 4.4 40 his FRESHMAN year. His dad owns a strength and conditioning facility in AZ so he has been groomed to be a professional athlete from a very young age.

Why would he waste an official visit on a school 1.5 hours away? I REALLY hope he doesn't go there....I hate them more than any other school.

Ya I guess it should be obvious. I love ASU and LSU but I hate Arizona more than Ole Piss and even more than Bama....although Bama is quickly gaining on them.

One thing that AZ has going for them is they just hired our HS coach to their staff. I just read that he is making his Arizona visit an unofficial one and is now adding Chokelahoma!

Davonte’ Neal’s recruiting took a big turn last week when Oklahoma suddenly got in the picture and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer had an impressive in-home visit with the Arizona Republic’s top 2012 football recruit.

Oklahoma got in the door with the Scottsdale Chaparral receiver/cornerback a day after former University of Arizona recruiting coordinator Tim Kish got hired. According to Luke Neal, Davonte’s dad, Kish popped in Davonte’s junior highlight tape for coach Bob Stoops, who told him, ‘We can’t get this guy.’


quote:

The two-time Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year is keeping himself open and will use much of this week to let all of the recruiting sink in. But it appears the top schools in the hunt for Neal are Notre Dame and Ohio State.

On Wednesday, ESPN will shadow Neal at his home and at school, according to Luke. ESPN will also report on Tempe Corona del Sol offensive tackle Andrus Peat’s college decision that day. Peat is not returning messages.

Neal, 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, a two-time Gatorade Arizona Football Player of the Year, has moved up to the No.1 athlete prospect in the country and No.8 overall in the latest ESPNU 150 rankings for class of 2012. Peat, 6-7, 305, is right behind at No.9 overall.


I wonder if tOSU will be able to "make room" for him!

Youd have to listen to the podcast of Bill Kings show in the mornings. A caller was asking about some potentoal buckeye recruits and mentioned how he really wantef Neal even though he was always wearing LSU garb.
