Where in the world is Danny O'Brien?

[zqglass]

(Maybe a haas) Just watching the Maryland game and completely forgot about what my brother told me a few weeks back. His friend is a wide receiver at Catawba and guess who's tossing the pigskin to him. Danny O fuckin Brien. He's 179-261 for 1729 yds 9 Td's and 5 Int's. Not particularly considering he was once the ACC Rookie of the year, and a starter at Wisconsin who is now playing against D-II competition.

And he is throwing to Quan Rucker also

Funny you say that. Just yesterday I googled Bryce Petty (or whoever the Baylor QB is) to see how highly recruited he was. I believe I came across his Rivals profile, where they listed a couple of "similar prospects", and one of those was Danny O'Brien. That led to a "where is Danny O'Brien these days" and another google search, where I learned that we was playing at Catawba.

Lot of hype with that guy.

... he SHOULD be doing this well more often considering the talent level he is playing against. although my brother's friend was never anything special at wide out, so maybe it is kindof impressive in other regards.

Their defense is coached by Keith Henry. Not surprising since he went there.

Petty was recruited heavily by Fulmer at Tennessee and was committed to play there. After Fulmer was fired and UT hired Kiffin, Petty was never contacted by Kiffin, basically letting Petty know that he was no longer wanted. He then switched his commitment to Baylor and waited his turn behind RG3 and Nick Florence...the time in the program has definitely helped him and I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks several records by the time he's done.

(Tajh Boyd also decommitted from that Tennessee class because Kiffin told Boyd that he didn't fit the "system.")
