Hahaha seems to be a pattern on threads where there is possibility a player who was thought to be all ND, all of a sudden “may not be” Lolol ….. a coping mechanism perhaps 😂

Per an assistant coach at ND, this is "fake news."

Source: me.

And like most times when someone says something if fake news, its actually the truth.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Welp that was fun for a while.

Big difference between unofficially visiting and flipping the commitment. Loy says he told ND and while they are frustrated they're not playing hardball over an unofficial.

I can’t imagine this ends well. The info that staff is frustrated doesn’t seem positive.

 

[dublinirish]

at the end of the day the Reader family and their friendships/ties obviously pointed Keeley towards ND, hes probably realizing now though he needs to do what is best for him

Which is to take a trip to Alabama to get some trade secrets from Nick Saban, and then promptly report back to Washington and Freeman, helping them in recruiting in the near-term, and helping them win a natty on the field in the longer term.

Sure. Let's go with this.

Quickly turning towards food, this kid is no doubt gone now.

Alabama's 247 writer isn't calling this a slam dunk for Bama by any means FWIW and we'll know what direction this is headed next week.

I personally think he's gonna use more visits. As long as it's not to the NIL schools I guess 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Not that anybody cares, but Driskell said he talked to a source with ND & they aren’t worried about this visit just like they weren’t worried when he visited there & OSU in the spring.
Interestingly, he says that someone in Keeley’s family/camp is now involved in his recruitment that wasn’t before & that person wants to visit Alabama with Keon.

WTF all that means, I don’t know.
IB is trying to put the fire out, but I think it is concerning this time.

If Keeley goes to Bama, college football really should just take a handful of sleeping pillls, turn on the car with the garage doors shut, and go night night.

It's called, "a handler"

Looks like ND just offered a new 2023 DL prospect as well. Lots of smoke. Still, I think he sticks with ND — it’s less boring that way.

Driskell said any DL offer is for Jason Moore, not Keeley...
ok...

And Dante is solid. Driskell is a funny guy.

The thing is, Alabama probably ISN'T whats best for him. Pass rushing DEs is like the one position Saban really hasn't developed at Alabama. Plenty of LBs and DTs and maybe an occasional big end, but no one really with Keeley's profile.

yeah it seems like all bamas DL are asked to do is defend the run and eat up blocks to the LBs can run and make plays.

If you are talking Dante, then you need to list about three dozen different recruiting reporters. All were wrong.

Who has the best birthday cakes?

I find it interesting the update says that Keeley has “someone new involved in his recruitment…but all the people around him are 100% ND.”
What recruitment? It’s supposed to be over.
Why is the family even entertaining this if they are 100% for ND?
Seems very contradictory?
