Who would we rather get? Davis or Gurley?
Dec 23, 2011, 6:04 PM

Davis is obviously a legacy and I'd love to get him but he strikes me as a bit of a prima donna.
Gurley seems like he's a great back that not many people have on their radars.
I'd obviously love to get both of 'em but Gurley seems to be the best choice. Thoughts?

Davis appears to be a bit of a prima donna & Gurley fits in with our system better!

I'll answer him for you. His decommitment from Florida that he made public with his comments on Twitter seemed to suggest an attitude or at least a love affair with the media aspect of being an athlete. It could have been dealt with much more privately. That being said, I'd still take him or Gurley.

I think ability-wise they're pretty even, but I'd rather have Gurley because I think he wants to be here more than Davis does, at this point. So I'd rather have him.

I know Marshall is 'rated' higher, but Gurley's size alone makes him more valuable. And at least some experts see something there also. How did he win the top award in NC ahead of Marshall?

can go between the tackles with two guys on his back putting "Orange in the endzone". We could really use a guy like this and that's hoping Andre stays and Mike gets his head screwed on straight. Threats like those along with our corp of receivers and Tajh getting more comfortable scrambling would give opponent DCs absolute nightmares.

I say Gurley ...He has that power, toughness, and ability to run over and through some people that we haven't had in quite some time ...He will get us that 3rd and 1 that we need!! ....Reminds me of Raymond Priester!

whichever one is closest to trent r. #1.not a prima d. #2 breakaway speed, #3 tackle-breaking ability and #4 durability...from what i've read, you lose the breakaway speed in gurley. the durability thing will be an on-going issue if you run the spread and use the smaller more fleet type backs..#23 ae missed A LOT of time because of this.

Mainly because I believe we have a better chance with him.I just think Davis will go to UGA to stay closer to home.Gurley is more of a UNC/CU battle..............

According to TI Gurley is favoring GA and UNC is pushing hard and NC State is the dark horse. Clemson has fallen off.
