i'm not gona lie this kid is good but he doesnt have much moves he is just real fast, he will deff help out west virginia wiht his speed but Tavon austin will do alot more for the program wiht his overall performance
As for the comment on Tavon Austin, comparing these two kids is like apples to oranges. TA is a Noel type runner, where this kid is a every down back. Will be interesting how things go in conjunction with Chris Snook...
I like the kid! No dancing, just North/South and burn you with his speed. Very disciplined runner for a HS kid and as a previous poster mentioned has very similar traits to Steve Slaton. Hopefully, Daquan will be able to bulk up a little and be a big edition to the Mountaineers back field.
WVU under Stewart runs sometimes a zone blocking scheme, but I doubt you will see it as much without the huge threat of White running the ball too as wellas handing off to Noel and now Daquan. You'll see alot of bubble screens and tosses more then likely. Daquan will be a fine addition to the WVU family. He'll make a great back that will probably get in in his freshman year and help give Noel a rest once in awhile. Once he gets accustomed to our style of offense and scheme he will be a Slayton.
Very excited about this guy. Just got a great feeling from the first clip I saw on him. Steve Slaton immediately came to mind. Gonna be a star, Daquan!
Are you kidding me? Kid is a pure North-South, one cut and go type of runner just like Steve Slaton. He's pretty much the prototype for a zone blocking running attack. He's perfect for WVU.
We did do some zone blocking last year but obviously a lot less than we did with Rrod. I don't know if we will do any zone blocking next year or not but the offense is obviously drastically different now.
rivals or scout has him as a *** 99 running back.there is no way.i haven't seen 98 better backs than this guy.i like the class west virginia put together,but hargrett is the one i'm excited about.
this guy is incredible.he should be a *****running back.he should be ranked higher than he is.he attacks the hole as soon as it opens.heastie,long,bailey on the outside we will do big things.wvu!!!!
What a burst..one slip of daylight and its over with this kid! He does remind a bit of Devine. Welcome to WV Daquan,trust me..its a football state and the WVU players are treated like heroes throughout the state. Peace.
WVU players are treated like heroes thru out the state....hummmm! THATS NOT TRUE!..most people dont care, and if you are just another thug brought here to play football, they care even less about you.
You have no idea what you are talking about, WVU football is King in the State of West Virginia, we have the most loyal fans and followings in the country, most people don't care? You are crazy, are you even from WV? or are you a marshall/pitt/vt fan? either way, you're a dumbass.
WVU..reloading. The future,which some may have thought shaky early on,now look real good. Devine,Hargrett,Heastie...plenty of firepower for years to come for the EERS!
Another nice runningback for WVU. Welcome to WVU Daquan. Looking forward to watching you play. You're going to love the atmosphere at Mountaineer field especially during night games. Good luck!!!
Damn! Kid can tote the rock! Can't wait to see him running through the Pitt defense! Daquan, git up here! National TV baby! "He could go all the way"...
i love the way he attacks the hole.i was hoping WVU would get this kid.150 ESPN grade.with our o line he will have huge holes to run through.what a great pickup.WVU staff is doing a great job.mountaineer fans we should be excited to have this guy.what a winner.this guy impressed me the first time i saw him carry the ball.WVU baby!GREAT PICKUP!
I love the way Daquan's running style is all about attack. He's not dancing. He's just busting through the hole intent on doing as much damage as possible.
Because tha U had made great running backs and overall players. Clinton portis willis mcgahee edgerin james frank gore reggie wayne santana moss sinorice moss michael irvin ray lewis dj williams jonathan vilma ed reed Sean Taylor RIP. Vince wilfork Dan morgan devin hester, so if all these players made it to the NFL i think they know wut ther doin, so itz not a bad idea. Im not sayin there arent any other good colleges with great prestige im just sayin that the U wouldnt b a bad decision.
Da "U" didn't make them, they were already great. Why yall think players are crap and then go to da "U" and become great. If that was the case we would still have plently of ballers, instead we got busts out the ass, former #1 prospects who don't do jack s*it. All of those players you named were already beast. Da "U" didn't make them.
But I know what made them, their hard work ethic. Being from miami and playing against other great players who get no credit. really Playing for Da "U" and giving their hearts and soul for the team.
Hate to tell you but between WVU and MN, the Mountaineers aren't RB U...Marion BarberIII, Lawrence Maroney, Thomas Tapeh and even Gary Russell saw time in the league last year all from UofMN.
This kid is sick, so whowever gets him will be set.
WVU produces tons of college stud RBs but we haven't had the talent for NFL guys until Slaton, Schmitt, and Devine came along... Collegewise, we're up there. We'll be moving up in the pro's with the guys we have now. This guy is nasty - hopefully he'll bring that speed up to Motown...
fair enough... but it didn't stop Big DT Jewhan Edwards or RB Kevin Whaley from picking MN over WVU. Not to mention the other 7 4Star players and Top 25 Recruiting class.
Also take a look at the talent Tim Brewster was left with and you'll understand why we were 1-11.
I like WVU and wish them well for sure, but also know what a transition to a new coach isn't perfect either.
Both are true. D-Line don't like coming here because of our weird scheme. We run a 3-3-5 (like a modified 3-4), so the NT gets double or triple teamed most plays. We were in it until the end for him, but you guys pulled it out. And I think Whaley was scared off when RichRod left. I could be wrong about him, but I think that was why he decommitted.
You guys are doing a heck of a job getting back on track - you'll be good very soon with the talent you're getting.
I dont know what V feeding this boy, but whatever it is keep feeding it to him, cuz damn he fast! He's fun to watch too!! NFL look out i see a star in the makin!!
