Jacoby Ford (WR) had the best time at this years combine. 4.28 Watching him run that was amazing.

He was faster than Javid Best (4.35) and CJ Spiller (4.37).

 
Davie is getting that vibe that he'll be playing Wide Reciever since he's been visiting with Gilmore more than anybody else on the staff.

Since he's listed as an athlete Davie has been considered playing wide reciever or defensive back when he plays ball for Nebraska.

 
Ive heard from a lot of people close to the Beatrice football program that in their opionions Nebraska is taking a chance with Davie. They say he is fast but doesnt have very good instincts on the field and may be alittle soft. Im all for getting the best in state talent but i think nebraska jumped on the bandwagon a little to quick on this kid. Just because he goes out and run a 4.2 forty and Kansas offers him doesnt mean we need to offer. What in state kid isnt going to walk on if he has a spot just saying. maybe a wasted scholly

Strongly disagree. Bo Pelini will not jump on some bandwagon with people in the state. I have spoken with people close to Davie as well. This year is his second year playing football. He is a great athlete that could become a great football player with some coaching. I would bet you that he ends up playing safety. I know what others have said, but Bo is willing to give any good athlete a chance in the secondary, hence Ayron B.

 
i totally agree with giving good athletes a chance. but why waste a scholarship on a player that hasnt proved himself at the class B level, when he probably comes to nebraska if we ask him to walk on and give him a shot to compete and earn a scholarship.

1) The kid is originally from Detroit. I don't know if he would share the same allegiance to NU as some other in state kids have. With that said if KU offered him a scholly and we did not he may not want to go pay for school at NU when he can go for free at KU.

2) With the above said if we want him we are going to have to offer him.

3) There is a reason that Bo Pelini offered him a scholarhip. Bo would not have done it if he did not think this kid could help us.

4) If Daniel played in an equivilant division in Texas would you be questioning the offer?

 
no i wouldnt have questioned the offer if he had played in texas because class 6A through 2A in Texas would beat the living crap out of any team in Nebraska. There is a reason nebraska doesnt produce many d1 recruits its because Nebraska high school football is brutal. That being said I trust in Bo but the kid should be dominating class B football if he is such a good athlete thats all im saying where is the production is what im wondering. But im sure Bo saw something in him and thats good enough for me. GBR.

No way would he walk-on, he'd probably agree to greyshirt but that is it.

 
Seems unfair that a kid would be judged based on the size of the school he plays at. The Rant's comments don't seem to take into consideration the fact that Davie doesn't get the ball half as many times as senior backs from Beatrice in the past. Read the stats. He seems to get-r-done when he gets it. Also, Beatrice Football fans/followers are EXTREMELY bias towards kids that grew up in Beatrice and came up through their programs. The only way Daniel gets the call from NU is because of his camp performance and his 40 times.

 
Don't forget that Crick hails from Cozad, which is a class smaller than the class Davie plays in.
