JUCO receiver Kenny Davis to continue career at Kansas State

Pierce College prospect Kenny Davis, originally from Birmingham (Pacoima, Calif.), has committed to sign with the Big 12 Wildcats, ESPN affiliate Web site KSUFans.com reports.

Davis also received offers from Tennessee, Arizona, Arizona State, New Mexico State and San Diego State, among others.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound wideout is sitting out the 2009 season while rehabbing a shoulder injury. During his freshman season, Davis played in six games and caught 24 passes for 469 yards and five touchdowns.

Kansas State now has 10 pledges for the Class of 2010.

Global domination....one step closer

[catzacker]

we have the market cornered on juco players who haven't played in the year of their commitment. 

[Pett]

Looks like a pretty legit commitment, and we did need a JUCO WR. He got hurt before his team's season started so he's redshirting this year and will have 3x3 in MHK.

[michigancat]

Will cosh be our only QB in this class?

[Rick Daris]

sweet. another crappy california juco player. 

[Pett]

Will cosh be our only QB in this class?

We're looking @ Blackman & Newton from JUCO. And we might take another HS QB in this class. It just all depends...

Let me get this straight.  6-3, 190 WR.  Solid FR season.  Injury causes him to RS this season (which gives him 3 with K-State).  Dec grad, he'll be here for the spring.  Offers from UT, Ariz, ASU. 

And he's another crappy recruit? 

Unconventional?  Yeah, but this seems like a good addition to me.

No board is realistic anymore, man. Between the sunshine pumper tards on the other two boards and this one being the pure pessimism board, not much middle ground.

Judging by the offers, pretty good pickup. Unfortunately with JUCO guys, they can either overhyped, or be special. You just can't tell till they hit the field.

This ^^^ too bad, you guys could have a good site here but for the constant slant in all the posts.  Plenty of opportunity wasted given the comp.     Overcompensation from fear of KITN (the best reason I can possibly give you guys) is really coming across as a bunch of big, loose vags.

No doubt about that.  I think that's part of the reason its good he's got 3 years left.  

I would be interested to know what he did between HS (05 grad) and getting into JUCO last year.  He was listed as 6-3, 165 coming out of HS, 2 star, with interest from Oreg State, Wash State, and San Diego State, FWIW.

we've had about thirty california juco recruits in the last six years and about two of them ended up doing anything worth while. excuse me for not jumping up and down for the opportunity to host another one of these parasites for the next three years. you guys seem to think he's the cats meow. good. guess we'll see. sorry to have an opposing view point.


hopefully things pan out and he can be the next aubrey quarles. maybe we get real lucky and he's the next attrail snipes.

daris was just being daris.  This guy is the very definition of a meh recruit.  Sure the offers are there, but even Prince beat out other decent schools for juco's.  I mean, other than a third year, what separates him from Aubrey Quarles?  Still, he could be pretty decent.  There's just no way to tell w/ cali jucos especially.

wow, didn't realize daris respnoded.

I'll take into account the coaching he'll be getting over what we've had before putting a meh tag on any of these guys.

True with Cali JUCOs.  Hopefully he can surpass the Snipes/Hilburn/Quarles Cali JUCO WR class, all pretty similar players with similar recruiting attention.

are you sure this is who it is? I was thinking it might be the quarterback Ron was recruiting out of Oklahoma in 08.

remember the glory KSukTATS got when Clyde Johnson played for us?  great media we get from guys like this.  unless he's been in prison, ibiza, etc.

Good news!  Recruiting lots of JUCO players every year is our best strategy for being at least somewhat competitive.

Oh, GMAFB.  This season should show you that coaching doesn't mean a thing.  We have sh*t players and therefore we have a sh*t team.

And I think the biggest disappointment is that Snyder is doing virtually nothing to differentiate himself from Prince on the recruiting trail.

Absense from football explained.

Overcoming obstacles is the real-life game that key football players Kenny Davis and Craig Alexander play every day.

They want people to know that they are more than jerseys and helmets. They too are students using their schooling as stepping stones toward their future.

Standing at 6 feet 3 inches, wide receiver Kenny Davis entered the Country Cafe for a chilly, early-morning interview Oct. 13. Dressed in a red beanie, plaid jacket, hooded sweatshirt and sweat pants, he sat down with a smile.

Davis, a 21-year-old sports-medicine major from Pacoima and former Birmingham High School student, has kept football the core of his focus while fighting challenges.

In a matter of two years, Davis' uncle, a mentor to him, died. His mother was in the hospital for two weeks due to low potassium and threat of a heart attack after fainting in Davis' arms. He also tore both hamstrings, and a drunk driver hit his car when he was coming home from a party at 2:30 a.m.

His injuries from the accident included back pains, hurt ribs and swelling in the right side of his head and right kneecap.

"The doctors told me that I would never play again because if I get hit (while playing football) the wrong way I could be paralyzed," Davis said.

After six to seven months of rehabilitation, the doctors gave him the green light to play again.

"He is very determined. As long as he keeps up the momentum he has, he can achieve his goals himself," said peer-mentor Janet Duenas.

"I want to get my family into a better place. We are OK now, but I want my parents to not have to work anymore," Davis said.

He is part of a skate team called the "Certified Rollers."

So the lack of production from Quarles and Snipes can be laid at this staff's feet?  As well as every Juco non-provider we've had since, what, '04, is not a reflection RP and staff much more than any other reason?  You are suggesting that coaching has no influence on juco recruit production?  

[Rick Daris]

obvious comparo should be to this guy. i'll take the under. especially in the looks dept.

We are getting nothing out of Quarles and Snipes now.  Assuming this guy is similarly ranked, why should we expect Snyder to get anything out of him next year?  

How long should it take for bill to wave his fU*king magic wand and turn these jucos into productive football players?  

And if he can't turn Quarles and Snipes into productive football players in spring practice and fall camp, why the f*ck is he signing jucos?
