Rocketsan 791 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anyone else not going to be surprised if this kid doesn't step foot on campus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltssb 1,044 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Lots of questions...LOTS 1. Did he leave because he felt pressure from friends, administration, etc...to go to AZ. 2. Is this a way to get back at his dad(if he indeed doesn't want ND) where he can't get academically in to ND. 3. Is it just a simple matter of family, the death(s) and needed time away. 4. Could there be something happening behind the scenes with Chapparal that they are blackmailing Neal. 5. Can he still get the necessary requirements to get into ND. I'm sure their are lots more but can't think at this time. I normally don't jump to quick conclusions but this has me a little concerned...

corysold 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 no clue, unless he already had enough credits I'll go with this. That he could have graduated early, but chose not to in order to run track or something, which he does. However, he is getting a bunch of flak, got into some trouble, etc. and just decided it isn't worth it to finish out the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double_Domer 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just to answer the question - from the article it says that he had already enrolled at Phoenix Central and that his class ranking will actually rise with the switch. He will set foot on campus and that first step will be the slowest movement of his entire ND career... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiiirish 62 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Bingo!!---no big worries about this--kelly has spoken to those involved and feels confident there won't be any academic issues--thats good enough for me aloha's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2lakes 4 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing Davonte was catching flak for his college choice, and maybe for the way it came about too. There's so much pressure these days to go to local U which is something ND has to overcome and is somewhat strange in a state like Arizona which is 1. very Catholic (#10 in the US with 31%)* and 2. not home to a college with a lot of football tradition or success. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_the_United_States Edited February 27, 2012 by 2lakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domer Dude 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Might explain why he announced at his grade school. Probably a lot of pressure from the adults, coaches, etc, as well as some kids... He just wanted to be a kid again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
case29 0 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Is this all being overblown because of the signing day fiasco? Plus there is no other real recruiting news. He was the last major recruit to sign. It's naive to think that these sites aren't looking for page views. 2012 recruiting is over... time to let it go... Edited February 28, 2012 by case29 late signing day i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
