'12 LA ATH Davante' Bourque (UT SIGNEE)

[Escape Goat]

I haven't watched any film of this guy yet but the same was said about Eddie George. I like the idea of having a big back.

Watch it. You will not be disappointed.

 

[Escape Goat]

What's the proper way to pronounce his last name?

Does it sound like "bork"?

Or is it more Cajun and sound like "borkay"?

Butter, borkay

Butter, borkay.

I have a hard time believing that tbh, hill supposed to run a 4.5 but I dunno

Racist, IMO.

 

[FightingScott]

Oh, and I've totally missed the party, but BOOOOOOOM!

 

[AlcoVOLic]

I love his reel. He has an awesome spin move, great balance and impressive hands. I noticed he finishes his runs strong. His YAC will be through the roof. He has power but also posses some great speed. I really hope we hold on to Bourque.

dude best gif this year. seriously. lol:

 

[Smokeytom]

I honestly think Jay Graham is gonna turn this kid into one of the Elite SEC backs. he's got all the potential. When he strides out I don't think anyone can catch him.

i really hope fortenberry meets bourque and his dad tomorrow.

Tell him congrats from volnation for us next time you see his family. Thanks for keeping us updated on his recruitment.

Where are you Lousiana? Hoping to see some inside info that we haven't already seen..... You'll have to come to Neyland with Devantas dad for some games!

 

[UT's#1Fan]

I'm pretty sure this kid is the next McFadden. But more agile in space. He's gonna make a nice name for himself wearing the orange and white!

I would say more like between Trent Richardson and Bo Jackson but more elusive.

More like a Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Walter Payton Hybrid. But with more power, speed, and agility.

 

[Smokeytom]

I think rivals bumping Randy Johnson (Miami RB Commit) up to a 5* only helps us. This kid wants to play sooner than later, and wants to be the one getting the most carries too. I don't think Dooley lets him get away either way.

ehh maybe. i like your Walter Payon reference but I think he's closer to Emmitt Smith or Earl Campbell... really a toss up IMO.

For a more modern reference, he has Adrian Peterson power and Chris Johnson speed.

Can we stop comparing a high school kid that hasn't played a down in college to pro bowlers? This is getting rediculous

They may have been kidding.

Considering the two that are doing it are on 85% of posters ignore lists, I'm not sure how this surprises you.

not sure if serious

Heard the coaches saying he has the frame to get to the size of Brandon Jacobs yet keep his Chris Johnson speed. Also would compare his vision to Arian Foster, and he catches the ball like Matt Forte out of the backfield.

 

[LotteryPick]

He's what Walter Payton should have been, really.

 

[UTCVol]

Bourque will now go through with his plan to visit Miami officially this weekend.

Asked if his son is a solid or soft commitment, Landry said, "I can't say."

Asked what UM will have to show on the visit to get back into it, dad said, "I don't know. It's crazy, man. Miami just left. Thursday Nebraska's coming. Illinois has come. He's going in circles."

So would it shock Landry if Bourque wound up signing somewhere other than Tennessee on signing day?

"No," Landry said. "But, like I tell him all the time, it's his decision. I told him he has to do what he wants to do."

Sigh.

 

[volunteerlane]

Haha wow commitment means nothing any more

 

[005]

Dear lord.
