Sweetness. Wasn't this guy brought up about a month back as a possible transfer? Looks like he could be a future star for us, glad we got him.

I think he was but we weren't exactly sure about the specific player since Texas had a couple transfers that were possible. If we could get a player like him, he would make our secondary as deep as it has ever been.

Ok maybe I'm missing something but is he able to play right away? I haven't seen anyone bring up whether he has to sit out a year or not.

I think he would since he would considered a transfer. He played as a true freshman so he still has a redshirt available. Davis would be a (RS) SO when eligible.

Yeah, he's going to be sitting out this upcoming year. He wants to go to the mall after we get outta class, so we'll be there if any of you wanna come say whats good. I showed him the comments everyones leaving him. He's loving it lol! You all don't need to worry about him getting DUI's of caught with any illgal substance anymore. His heads on straight and he knows this is his last opportunity to make bank for his family (getting to the NFL). This is a cool dude! He's real relaxed and has that southern laid back presence to him if you all know what I'm trying to say. Grades aren't going to be an issue with him either. He's actually very smart!

Thats awesome dude. Davis definitely has a chance to be another in a long line of stud Duck DBs that become high NFL picks. He's obviously got the talent. Hope things work out, he stays healthy & is balling for us in the next few years.

He decided on Oregon because his relation with defensive backs coach Neal. Neal, would always fly down to visit him and loved what he saw here. Marcus is aware of all the success of former db's here such as Pat Chung, Byrd and Thurmond had. He thinks he can be on the same level as Pat. If he were so play a postition, it would most likely be safety. Davis says he hopes to help by bringing some "bling" to the ducks...that is winning the national title. As many know, he wouldve been able to see some play time in the title game last year, if it wasn't for is legal issues. He was able to travel with the team though and saw what it was like to play for the title. He says theres nothing like it! Man, i'v been in the hall of all the 2010 class, and all i can say is wow! I'm really excited to see this group play. I watched some UFC with Ricky Heimuli last night and he says hes thinking on postponing his mission and play through college. Lache and Eric Dungy are rooming together. I chilled with those two guys lots of the night and just had a long conversation with Tony Dungy. He got a house here and is excited to watch his son play. I helped Josh and Dontae unpack. they have seriously like 500 bucks of food on them so it seems lol. We went down to the basement and made some pizza last night. It's been a real good night with the players. Curtis called me upstairs to meet keenan Lowe. He's a real chill guy as well. Nick Rowland and i talked for like 30 mins about recruiting and what not. He was talking about how it was to play infront of scouts and take part in camps. I'll have more info tonight when i go back to my dorm to see them. Marcus and I are going to the mall after the visit with coach kelly.

Great post Nate. I love hearing this kind of "inside" information. Sounds like the bonding has begun.

What dorm are you in? Only reason that I ask is that my son is down there this week in the dorms for the football camp. You have my permission to mess with him if you run across him. "lol" This is his first extended trip away from mom and dad on his own and he thinks he's king sh*t.

Would be nice to see Heiumuli maybe postpone his mission. Also kind of neat that Dungy is getting a house up here. I wonder if he'll live up here full-time or just visit on the weekends for games. Must be nice to know all the players. How did you do that?

Great stuff nate. Hopefully all of these guys keep a good attitude through any ups and downs that might present themselves. It would be great if they all remain ready to work hard, both on the field and in the classroom, and make all their aspirations a reality.
