The other thread? In no way am I saying that is what happened. Hence the "if."

It didn't happen, so no need to question it or him.

It worked out well for us when D Daniels did it. Just sayin'...
We shouldn't get worked up about stuff like this. I want the kid to make a well thought out decision that he plans on following through with. If that decision is to attend Notre Dame, great. If not, then the best of luck to him. This constant need for immediate decisions of 17-18 year old kids from fans, recruiting sites, etc are why we have so many cases of kids committing, decommitting and then getting threads created to belittle them. Let's just wait and exhibit some patience for once, shall we?

If anything, Kelly's visit two weeks ago made him go back and think about his college choice. We can read into this a number of ways, but he was set to commit - kelly visited - and now he's taking some time to think about it.
I'm thinking this is a good thing.

Dude.., I could not agree with you more! We all want good news and instant gratification for sure..., but I would rather have a kid take his time and THINK about his decision before he makes it. We see it every single year all over the nation where alot of these kids commit early.., only to decommit later on in the process. I would love him to come to South Bend, however if he chooses another school then that is alright too. At least with this kid you can probably bet his decision will be final because he is taking his time inorder to make the best decision possible for him.

TT if your sequence of events is correct, I would think that sounds better for us. Like you said a number of ways to read it, but first blush in my head only is that was leaning elsewhere, talked to BK, decided to re-think his elsewhere lean
Note: This is my speculation only and only from info on this site. I would never begin to think I have any idea what goes on in a 17 year old's mind today. Other than girls, I couldn't tell you what else went thru mine back then...and I was a clumsy stick figure with zero athletic ability.

We sure could use some nice news for a change on the recruiting front.

I hope we have shown him enough on the field to convince him that we are moving in the right direction. Iowa has continued to drop off over the last few weeks but Im not sure how much stock he is putting in on the field performance. Im really excited about this kid and I think he would bring a lot of athletic ability to whatever position he landed in. We could really use some good news after these last few weeks.

Per the article:
"The 6-foot-6 senior 'athlete' is still considering three schools: Notre Dame, Iowa and Oregon."
Wishful thinking time:
The fact that ND is listed first could mean that it was listed first when French spoke about his final three (otherwise the reporter, being from Iowa, would have said Iowa first or put them in alphabetical order). If French listed ND first it was probably because, either consciously or subconsciously, he favors ND the most.
Obviously wishful thinking but we need some good recruiting news...

Huge potential with this kid, we need him really badly right now. We need to a commit from someone to reverse the trend with our recruiting.

Make no mistake guys...from everything I've read, Iowa is in the driver's seat, not ND. If we get him that will be fantastic, but the rumblings are that he stays in Iowa. And before you go ripping Iowa, they are a local school, they have an established coach, they want to put him at his favorite position, and sadly, they've been better than us many of these recent years...
