zff Posted December 27, 2004 Report Posted December 27, 2004 UK leads for Davis West Allegheny (Pa.) defensive linemen C.J. Davis said he'll most likely decide between UK and Akron when he returns from Christmas break in early January. Davis is from Fort Campbell but moved to Pennsylvania after his father, who's in the Army, was transferred. "I'd say it's about 60-40 right now towards Kentucky," he said. "I like Akron because of playing time, but I also want the chance to play for a big-time program." The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Davis is described as a late bloomer by West Allegheny Coach Bob Palko. "He's just scratching the surface of his potential," Palko told the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette. Davis was slowed by an ankle injury for much of last season. But after a dedicated off-season, he has blossomed into a solid Division I prospect who has also received scholarship offers from West Virginia, Toledo and Indiana. Quote

Can someone remind him that "big time" Kentucky lost to MAC doormat Ohio this past season (a team the Zips beat handily)? Quote
zipboy Posted December 27, 2004 Report Posted December 27, 2004 Good luck to the kid either way, but the chances of Akron going to a bowl and being a top 25 team over the next 4 years is greater than KY. Quote
zff Posted January 19, 2005 Author Report Posted January 19, 2005 The Zips still have a chance for Mr. Davis. If Pitt does not offer him he most likely will be a ZIP!!!! Click for CJ Quote
zff Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Posted January 27, 2005 Cross this young man off the list Pitt made the offer and he will committ this weekend. I really wanted him to be a Zip but hey he got what he wanted and I say best of luck to him in the future. Quote
