UA's Davis Knew What Was Next

FAYETTEVILLE — Knile Davis didn’t need the examination. He didn’t need the diagnosis. He didn’t need to know what was coming next.

The Arkansas running back has been through all of it too many other times. When he felt one of Arkansas’ defensive lineman fall on his ankle during the team’s scrimmage on Aug. 11 and heard the sound, Davis knew his tireless work to gear up for the 2011 season had been wasted.

And his mind quickly shifted to something he is all too familiar with - rehabilitation.

“I kind of know what’s about to happen,” Davis said. “Because when I broke it, I mean, I knew it was broke. Because I know the sound of a break, and I knew what I was fixing to head into. I knew how surgery was going to go. ...

“But I do also know that you can come back from this. I do also know you can be faster, be stronger than you’ve ever been.”

Davis spoke to the media Thursday afternoon for the first time since suffering what will likely be a season-ending injury, although he wouldn’t rule out a return later this fall.

The team’s leading rusher in 2010 and one of six team captains rolled into the interview room on a scooter with a bulky brace covering his surgically repaired left ankle. He wore a black T-shirt that said “Grind” and vowed it would be his plan for the next several months.

Is he disappointed? Of course. The feeling is unavoidable after the work Davis put in hoping to build on a 1,322-yard, 13-touchdown season.

Teammates and coaches were amazed by Davis’ work ethic in the offseason and his plans to lead the Razorbacks to new heights. Davis even admitted his confidence was sky high, too.

“I was ready for this year,” Davis said. “I was probably more ready than I’ve ever been. I was hitting holes, I was hitting my tracks. I was feeling like a real veteran out there.

“Everyone kind of around the team saw it, as well as coach (Bobby) Petrino. I mean, he and I felt like it would be a big year for me. The hype and all the stuff that led up to this season was kind of what was the disappointment for me and coach Petrino and everyone else.

AR Five Seven: 5.7x28mm AR Upper | The Firearm Blog

Well this thing is interesting. Its a AR-15- PS90 cross bread. The one piece modular upper snaps onto any AR-15 lower. Allowing you to fire 5.7x28mm with the PS90 50 round mags . I added HK 416 rifle sights. I wanted to use the LaRue Tactical Aimpoint mount in the picture but I think the sight may stick out to far to mag change:( we will see. I just used a DPMS complete lower with a Magpul grip and stock. It has a right side charging handle. The upper and lower color match perfect. I am really impressed with the quality.

It still has the bolt open feature like the AR-15. It does utilize the buffer tube with the stock AR spring and a Heavy buffer that came with it. It ejects the spent cases through the mag well. I had a cheap 30 mag that was no good so I gutted it and cut the top off so it will work as a funnel for the spent cases. I purchased the Upper from www.HKSpecialist.net who shipped and I received it over night. Great guy to deal with. Unfortunately I can’t find them for sale anywhere else and I got the only one Gordon had left. The Manufacturer’s web sight is www.57center.com . I put 150 rounds down the pipe today after work with out a hitch. Really sweet accuracy at 50 yards open sights. And it was easy to engage multiple targets with no recoil throwing me off. I cant wait to put a optic on it. I am leaning towards a Aimpoint Micro T-1. Enjoy the pics…………………

How about the hot brass spilling out onto your arm? The PS-90 doesn’t have much of an issue with that because of how the weapon is held, but an AR-15 would seem to have an issue with the ejection from the mag well. Some sort of catcher may be a good idea. A short barreled version would be interesting, maybe a ten inch with a supressor added.

With an empty 30rd AR magazine its a great brass catcher so not only is there no hot brass flying around theres nothing to pick up – great for re-loading.
