And yet Bowen himself can't string together the following words: "I am 100% committed to Notre Dame." Instead it's some BS about having a contingency plan in case "something big" happens lol, as of there is a school in the country that wouldn't take him at the 11th hour should "something big" happen...

This is as close as you'll get to him saying he's 100% committed. At the very least, it's a good sign to hear him say this this late in the cycle.

“Even on social media, I say I’m still locked in and fully committed,” Bowen noted. “They’re (Notre Dame) not freaking out or anything; they just tell me to remember why I committed here.”

the kid is just having the same fun we would if we were in his shoes. these elite 4 and 5 star kids aren't going to get the red carpet treatment more than they are right now and so why not take advantage of it

I have no issues with him taking visits anywhere, so long as the staff is fully aware of each and every one and the purpose behind it. I would do the same thing, except I would make it very well known publically and privately that I am unwavering in my commitment to Notre Dame. That includes to the coaches of the schools and visiting.

I try to remind myself that Notre Dame Football has been around a hell of a lot longer than these kids and that when they play their last down of football, whenever and wherever that may be, Notre Dame Football is going to be around for a hell of a lot longer from that point too.

Signing day isn't that far away. If he were going to flip, I think we would have seen it by now.

Or maybe he’s waiting on the 11th hour type money bags to roll in.

I’m curious if he’s getting paid to just visit, if so, how much he’s making just visiting. If I were a college recruit I’d be pimping myself out for free weekends at least .

Amorion walker never even informed us of the flip last year. Some kids are scared to do it. Until the signature is on the line, this line of thinking is naive.

His best course of action might be to tell everyone he is coming to them or at least they are on top so that they keep on him (paying him).

Heard a podcast a while back talk about how kids are being paid to take visits.

I wonder if he signs in December or waits until the end
I have no idea but as much as he’s enjoying the recruitment process, I wouldn’t be surprise if he keeps it going to the end…especially if there’s fewer high profile recruits left and he can get more spotlight. Good for him for enjoying the ride. May as well use the schools for all they got.

I guess but mostly he just keeps going to Oklahoma and A&M games. That’s gonna get less fun as they keep sucking.

I think he's been to 2 OU games this season, both of which were L's.

I mean, it's the Red River Shootout.

That's a big ticket game for almost everybody in the states of Texas and Oklahoma and it's during the State Fair of Texas.

And again, the fact that Bowen is going to the games where OU looks like crap and particularly their defense looks like crap, doesn't bode well for their chances. ND got off to a bad start, but is finding their footing and trending up. OU is trending down in a big way.

I'm sure his interest in OU is legitimate, but they're doing themselves zero favors with these performances.

Just means quick playing time for a blue chip like himself.

He’s a near lock to start as a freshman at ND. And I suspect he’s been told it.

I agree. Unless he's just unfamiliar with schematics or something, he's pushing for a starting spot.

I dont believe any site has compiled or released a list of early enrollees for this class.... but, does anyone know what Peyton's intentions are?

At first I found it hard to believe he'd commit on ESD with his hesitation to shut down his recruitment, now I'm starting to think he'll be a ND lock by then. It's hard to believe he'd even seriously consider Okl after watching that beat down yesterday. The value of having his gf at the same school has to be completely lost knowing that he'd be playing for a joke of a defense. Thanks again Oklahoma!!
