Current poster. He's actually PANDFAN, but it runs together, so we call him panda.

I assume they mean @PANDFAN (Pennsylvania ND Fan) that everyone just read as "panda fan".

I still think there is a chance with Keeley.

If he would've committed to Bama he would've done it by now especially after that great summer visit.

Why not commit to OSU after that win vs ND?

Keeley had his opportunity to commit elsewhere and hasn't.

If I were a betting man I think Freeman has kept in contact with Keeley all along.

 

[MacIrish75]

Your keystrokes to God’s ears, Iris.

Could it happen? I guess there’s a nonzero possibility. I wouldn’t invest too much time into thinking about it at this point. Now if Bama loses again and the noise gets louder around Saban being done…

 

[stlnd01]

It’s an interesting question why he hasn’t committed anywhere. He’s not even taking a lot of visits, just Bama and Ohio State (did he maybe get to a game at Florida?).

I know, I know, making them wait and upping the bag. Is the theory. But you see what the real bag-chasers are doing and Keeley isn’t doing that stuff. No A&M or Oregon for him.

It’s curious anyway, just curious enough to leave the door open a crack for us. Though I wouldn’t count on it. I’d bet Ohio State in the end.

The staff even said they aren't communicating with him.

I think they put it in Keeley's hands.

Marcus Freeman supposedly talked to him after Clemson. I believe it was more of a congratulations conversation though. Supposedly he had light conversation with recruits in the class again as well. Raised my confidence level to about 3.4% up from around 0.62% since before the Clemson win

I did read that KK spoke to the recruits. I didn't read that he talked to Freeman.

Ryan Roberts talked about it in the IB podcast from Monday

What did RR say?

 

[stlnd01]

Pretty much that KK and MF had a brief conversation the morning after the Clemson win. Sounded like just a congratulations conversation

If it was a "congratulations conversation," who initiated it?

This would be like my ex girlfriend texting me "Congrats on your engagement"

Yeah but did she slip a “dtf?” in at the end?

Why would Marcus Freeman call KK in this situation? To see if KK was open to congratulating him? If it were a congratulatory conversation I assume KK initiated it.

 

[laughingirish90]

from what i remember hearing it was other people in his party wanting him walk away from the irish and so this may just not be his decision on coming back or not

Exactly.

Insert Michael Scott “I thought we had the same birthday” gif.

 

[irishandy]

Just a "congratulatory conversation" that KK initiated. Seems to me like the Irish are still on Keeley's mind.

I don't see Freeman just saying to Keeley thanks for the "congratulatory call" have a nice night. I'd bet Freeman did some recruiting.

MF needs to keep Bowen and pull some rabbits out of the hat….

QB flip and KK

I think MF closes with Bowen.

I'll drink the Kool-Aid with a surprise QB flip and the still uncommitted KK.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

So weird this guy hasn’t committed, I’m hoping KK swallows his pride and open communications with MF

What's weird about it? Supply and demand. He is his own product and will wait for the highest price.

I would just think he would have committed by now.

 

[irishandy]

I think Keeley has been given his "highest price"...I am not ruling ND out on this one.

So we get Minchey and Keeley in the class

Where we ranked

 

[Free Manera]

So we get Minchey and Keeley in the class

Where we ranked

Probably pretty close to a #1 class. Would be the best class at ND in the post-Holtz era probably.

FWIW, Minchey must have been chatting with the staff the entire time and the recruiting sites had no clue.

Are we sure MF hasnt been speaking with Keely the whole time as well?
