Am I wrong in thinking he looks no where near those numbers? Tyler Davis looks HUGE though. I thought Davis was ShirreffsHe was listed as 6-3 233 from NCST and on last year's roster alas he went the way of Junior Lee.

I thought the same thing... Davis looks big... He had freshmen moments for sure but that last drive against the 1's was, though a fraction of the game, was was impressive. I see a lot more upside in him than originally thought I would. Coming out of spring practice diaco said sherrifs and Boyle are far ahead of him...maybe play book wise but I'd disagree athletically.
Tyler Davis could be the man. He has a gun and can move around. Showed leadership. They don't need to Red shirt Davis. He can play now.
Just chalk it up to trolling.
There wasn't a receiver within 15 yards of Obi on his INT, and Obi was wearing red.
The gap between BS and TB was, based on today, significant.
Davis is the new Boyle. I don't give until the end of the Nova game before we hear it. Knock it off.
I honestly have no idea what some people were watching. Davis looked nowhere near ready to step on a college football field right now. That's normally the case for 95% of true freshmen QB's. It's not a knock on him. He just needs time to develop.
We absolutely DO NOT want to burn Davis's red shirt this year. I think he could be the future, and am willing to continue to mortgage the present for that.
It's not even about mortgaging the future. He is just not as good as Shireffs or Boyle right now. He's a distant 3rd based on what I saw. Diaco has stated this publicly. Davis may turn out to be the real deal. But he's not ready as a true frosh. For example, see Mike Nebrich. Turned out to be a good QB just wasn't ready (despite Palatine's claims) as a freshman.
With the likes of Shirreffs, Boyle, and come the summer Anderson, why would anyone in their right mind want Davis to see the field this year??! For that I question your sanity. Depth is being created. Let the kid get acclimated to college and college life. Let him battle it out in practice, improve behind the scenes and be ready to play when he is needed. How many programs start true freshmen QB's? Even if there are a handful of them, UConn should not EVER be one of them.I'm already sensing that some here would say play Davis even if became the best right in the fall. I say no. Bite the bullet one more year with the others if that is the case. Having said that, I agree that won't be the case.
Davis needs to redshirt. This program HAS to stockpile its. qbs. Reading the tea leaves, Coach Diaco knows this. (Look at 2014, he treated the first half of the season as extended practice sessions). Besides, though Davis showed promise on some plays, he's no Doug Flutie (4th string frosh who towered over the 3 ahead of him due to their own ineptness).

Davis didn't look ready to step in right now.
But what people saw was a kid with the size of a LB who moved very, very well.
He has a big arm, throwing a strike across the field off his back foot.
He looked like Dan Orlovsky with wheels.
It is easy to see why people are excited.
