I just wanted to state that this is my least favorite recruits thread to visit. That's it...Thanks for listening.

As for Gunner being on Purdue's campus. There are tons of kids who go to IU, Purdue, Ball State on the weekends just to party or hang out with old friends. Not saying that is why he is there but Purdue isn't exactly to far away from Columbus and I can guarantee he has friends that go there.

Visit is actually today and tomorrow instead of the weekend.

Could be visiting a school "outside the midwest" this weekend hence the early arrival and departure.


Aka watch out for USC.

Hahahahahaha that would be funny. They'd invite him out there just to neg recruit the hell out of ND.

That really, really sucks that he won't be there for the actual banquet.

I would love to have him and there was one point I really thought it was a done deal. I'm about 99% positive now that it is not... and it's mostly because our staff is hell bent on swinging for the fences with 4:s: and 5:s: skill position players (and a couple bigs) that are still available.

I really hope they know what they're doing and it's not just hubris after last year's ridiculous haul.

Not even staying for the full OV (48 hours). Arrived this morning and leaving tomorrow.





Not looking good.

With all due respect, how many times has Gunner been here? Aside from coming in, maybe talking with some advisors, having a good talk with the coaches and spending some time with the guys does he really need to spend 48 hours on campus for it to be a good visit?

Not looking good would be him cancelling the trip. The fact that hes been here a handful of times, and yet is coming back again on an official at all cant be a bad thing....unless of course you belong to the Irish fan base which has become alarmingly insecure over the years.

Everybody take a deep breath for a moment. Why is it even necessary for him to spend copious amounts of time this visit at a school he has heard about his whole life, is a legacy of sorts, has been to already, and already knows the coaches and many of the players on the team and incoming recruits. At this point in the process, I don't think there's too much more he can learn from a visit.

With that being said, I have no idea if he's going to come to ND or not. But consider everything and ND has a great shot.

I get what you all are saying but remember he was planning to take a full OV. It wasn't like he was scheduled to just make a short trip because he had already seen the sights and sounds, that would be more understandable. The concern is because he was planning on taking in the banquet and being here with all the other recruits and now it has the appearance of a rushed visit so they can go visit another school.

I am in no panic but you have to understand those that feel weary at this point.

Take into considering he basically has this weekend and next weekend to finish up his recruiting, and I think it still says a lot we are getting yet another visit. The following weekend is Christmas, the weekend after that is basically new years. If he has any schools that he is even slightly considering and wants to check out just to be sure, its now or never.

For all we know he has a family Christmas party this weekend and doesn't want to miss it so he's pushing up his official visit. Don't sweat it.

I wonder who the 'outside of the midwest' team is that he's visiting afterwards. LSU, Vandy, Oklahoma?
