'23 TX S Peyton Bowen (Oklahoma Signee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[Dale]

Coaches suck, players stink, offers stink, we are stupid. Love having this guy back.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Yeah I’m just not sure I’ll ever understand how he went from eliminating OK to picking them 24 hrs later

Commited to 3 schools in 24 hrs has to be a record, i don’t wish Bad things on this kid but it’s clear he’s a liar and I would be shocked if he ends up being a stud. This type of kid tends to flame out regardless of where he goes

 

[Kingbish01]

I don't think he has been on a campus in a long time. My guess is UGA or USC.

I'd be fine with UGA, as the team I follow most behind ND...they are going to need help as Bama just put together a hell of a class.

I'm actually looking forward to the thinly veiled personal attacks from the other recruits on Twitter. Not that I go on Twitter. But if someone posts them here I mean. I'll read them.

Drayk has liked all of these on Twitter, and many more:

Cool, good luck winning a title with the Ben Minich’s of the world, see how that goes.

I’ll take Ben and his parents all day every day over the Texas Bowens.

 

[indianamouse]

Right and ND thinks Minich and Shuler can do what Bowen & Woodyard do? No way. Safety recruiting isn’t good enough.

Let them develop and prove themselves on the field before judging

 

[AKRowdy]

And Ben Minich is the kind of kid that will miss a tackle, giving up a 75 yd TD run. Bowen is way better than Shuler & Minich who are slightly above avg P5 Safety prospects

I like above average. That means they are likely top 25 caliber safeties. Football is a team game not individual and 1 player at safety isn’t going to bring down or elevate the team a ton. The biggest difference maker at this level is at QB.
Also having a cancer on the team and creating turmoil in the locker room can cause much more problems long term for ND and MF than no taking PB.
If this is causing you so much distress, you should think of 1) finding a different team 2) get a different hobby all together.

 

[Free Manera]

Minich could develop into a starter but I'm more excited about Hillman. His film just screams elite athlete.

 

[Bigamejames]

Its more then just the hat thing. The whole end of his recruitment is a shit show

It’s all a shit show from committing to decomitting,and committing again, from having these special school ceromonies, and the apologetic letters they write. Let’s not forget these stupid All American games they play in. There should be a ncaa rule that allows athletes to sign there letter of intent at anytime 6months prior to national signing day., that way coaches know who is in the game.

 

[ColinKSU]

No clue why he didn't just decommit a while ago.

Going forward, I wonder if the staff will tell committed recruits who repeatedly take visits to other schools to just decommit. They'll still recruit them, though.

Because this was the stupidest possible recruitment.

 

[IrishLion]

Because this was the stupidest possible recruitment.

I disagreed with you about that just over 24 hours ago.

In total, 100% agreement now lol

It's been nothing short of cringy, to the point I kinda feel sorry for him. In 5 years he's gonna watch his announcement and his Mom's reaction and feel ashamed. Studs don't act like this, all signs point to him peaking in high school.

 

[GATTACA!]

Come on Peyton. We have another whole day we can drag this out. Plenty of IE posta left to squeeze out of this baby.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

I don’t think he’s lying. I think he legitimately wants to go to each school for different reasons and is clearly being pulled in a million different directions behind the scenes.

At this point I don’t think he is very mature or had a very rational support system in place. Seems the process has exposed the character of this family from the kid to the parents looking at the money offered. I hope they figure out that not everyone has their best interests at heart and maybe they wide up to the NIL game

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

I hope for Oklahoma if not us. Oregon is the novae rich school I loathe.

 

[T Town Tommy]

If I was his parent, I would make him have a signing ceremony where he spends more time apologizing to the schools and coaches he disrespected than discussing the one he finally picked.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Sooner fans are going to be even more insufferable if that happens.

You’re staying all of this as facts, when in all reality Minich could end up being a better overral player than Bowen. You have no idea what your talking about. Who knows how any of these kids turn out. Quit being a tool bag

At least his mom seemed visibly embarrassed. We’ve seen this same story before with kids while their parents and family are gathered around whooping it up. She knew what he did was wrong and I’m sure had talked to him about doing things the right way, some kids just won’t listen.

 

[NDohio]

I really hope the conversation was this:

PB: Coach Freeman, I screwed up. Any chance I can get back in?
MF: Yeah, you did. I'll will do this though - I'll take a poll from the '23 class and see what they say.
Class of '23: HELL NO!!!!!
MF: Sorry - you're out.

 

[BeauBenken]

The owners agree with you.

 

[ab2cmiller]

I don't see how an Oklahoma decision would do much for most of them. Yes they will be excited, but they will know that this recruitment was stupid. They will be happy, but they know that the end result was only due to some weird family compromise allowing them to go from 3rd to 1st.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

The owners agree with you.

Yeah you right. Gotta fund this years owners retreat to Destin.

Nobody gives a fuck about your complaining no matter how many times you say it. Go cry over at NDNation with all the other children throwing tantrums

That's it! Lock it up boys. Nothing else to see here.
