    Where did you get crazy from my musings? Ok,I'll be crazy as long Neal and co.seals the deal.cool
    The truth be told, Neal's trip to Arkansas is just to let the SEC know that this one got away.
    Let the kid enjoy the Process, I'm days away from calling this one a lock.holyholyholy

    Just kidding.

  • MrblackeyeBenny,

    Hmmm,that would mean I10 is shut down for snow plows.
    Who sets an Official Visit following Signing day,anyway? I think this was a gaffe by his handlers as they probably desired a big impact in Davonte's signing.

    Funny thing about OV's the dates are always subject to change. Did you know Neal is one of the "THREE AMIGOS" ?

    Just thought I'ld pass along...Nice prison pin-upsfrustrated!!! holyholy

    No offense intended, but "info"? Really? You call one goofball poster on Bucknuts saying that a fan he knows told him that Davonte has cancelled his OV to Arizona "info"? Hardpressed to even call that "rumblings", but "info"? Uh, no.

    It was info from TSUN so reliability is questionable for that info. Don't hate on Buckeye Benny. He just wanted to give you guys some crucial info regarding a recruit.

    I pretty much take everything with a grain of salt unless reported by Gary, Brad, or the FIB. Or Gimino. Or Javier Morales.

    I have found the accuracy from these guys, especially this site, to be on a much higher level than anywhere else.

    I love the back and forth, and regardless whether it is debate or conversation, I hope you and Lippert feel as welcome as Buckeyes could feel on this board.

    I've already mentioned the high regard I have for your program and the community that supports it, and I mean it.

    There is a guy on this board called wineknow, and he's made the point a number of times about how Arizona doesn't compete for recruits against the big-time schools. Frustratingly, he's largely right about that. So to be honest, I'm just thrilled that Arizona is in the mix up against the Buckeyes, and I'm really hoping that landing him could be the start of Arizona rising to become a much prominent program.

  • Attached is an article about UofA's chances with Davonte Neal.

    Can Arizona Really Land Davonte Neal? - SBNation.com

    Davonte Neal is one of the top recruits in the country. Where will he commit?

  • Personally, I think Arizona is the right place for this young man's development, but with a caveat...

    Yes, we are not a big-time program because we don't play to big-time egos. Those same egos appear to get big-time programs in trouble and I would rather stay out of the NCAA infraction committee limelight. What is sometimes lost in the recruiting process is how well the recruit conducts themselves with the coaches, media, etc. I like to read about how a recruit is "well-spoken", "intelligent", "conducts themselves with class", as all these qualities will translate to leadership in the locker room...and eventually Life.

    If Devonte Neal is serious about growing as a young man in a solid academic environment and playing in front of a dedicated UA fanbase, then by all means, come on down.

    If he is more serious about "playing the game" (tongue-in-cheek icon)...

    Good take Ashton. Personally, I've been on the fence about Neal. His talent is undeniable and I'm not going to complain if he's ripping it up for us, but the hype, drama, perceived ego, whatever you want to call it, of his recruitment hasn't been sitting well with me. But hey, the kid can play so let's get him on board.

  • Lighten up Fellow Wildcats the kid is a great talent.He is no Yuri Wright(who Colorado is willing to take his commitment). Neal has what kids call swagger.Not so much ego but the willingness to accept the pressure ,produce on the field and in the classroom. .

    Although I said ,we would have the NCAA snooping around in the next two years. I fully believe Neal's recruitment will not be the reason for the snooping.

    If Coach Rodriguez wants Neal,then I say Let's git'er done.holy
