Spring Practice starting soon... - washingtonismoney - 02-19-2011
Found this to be an interesting tidbit in the Chronicle\'s report:
"Interestingly, Shaw said the 6-foot-4 Daniel will start spring drills at quarterback but will also get a look at receiver. The competition at that spot is "going to be fierce from the first day," Shaw said."

The Mercury report is a little less interesting: http://www.mercurynews.com/college-sports/ci_17424513?source=rss

Doug Baldwin participated in an online chat a couple of months ago in which he raved about Daniels. Â He didn\'t say so explicitly, but it sounded like Daniels had already been practicing with the receivers last season (otherwise, I\'m not sure how Baldwin could have drawn his conclusions). Â Probably a bit of hyperbole, but Baldwin said he felt Daniels could develop into an all-American caliber receiver. Â He definitely seemed very high on both Daniels and on Drew Terrell as a possible receiver. Â
After hearing Baldwin\'s comments, I\'m surprised that they are still workig Daniels at QB. Â Maybe Shaw is just trying keeping expectations low until they see how Daniels develops

apologies to the young man. Â It\'s Daniel, not Daniels

Daniel was a two-star recruit at qb. To get his athletic ability, he probably was promised a shot at qb, which is probably the position he dreams of playing. But if he is on the depth chart a number of spots down, he\'ll want to get on the field as a receiver. Even higher rated qb like Justin Armour and John Lynch have made switches to other positions.
