'12 IN QB Gunner Kiel (Cincinnati Transfer)

[phork]

Not sure how this clown would have the "inside" info since the entire family is under double secret hush hush.

 

[Domina Nostra]

What we know:

- Gunner says he doesn't know.
- His family says he doesn't know.
- The ND premium sites don't know.
- Some of his acquaintances think he has been all Irish for a while, based on who knows what.
- Some of his schoolmates clearly prefer LSU, and made that clear.
- Some LSU fans think he is already a Tiger.
- Nobody thinks Vanderbilt at this point (but I can't remember why).
- Gunner picked Indiana for location and family, but dropped Indiana because they stink.
- Gunner is down to three teams that are a study in contrasts.
- He wants to chose by Christmas, but doesn't have to.

Anything else?

Christmas is in 3 days wouldn't he have to give some kind of notice if he was planning an annoucement?

4 days. And frankly announcing on Christmas Day for ND would just be peachy.

Vandy would be better than LSU.

This would be correct. I think LSU is actually 3rd on his list, im just basing my opinion so take what i say lightly

 

[condoms SUCk]

Good grief, I fell like a wounded horse that needs to be shot to put me out misery. Living in this land of limbo is giving me another reason to drink, which I don't really need any more as it is.
Honestly though, dragging this is out is getting old, it's like a bad car wreck I don't want to look but I just can't help myself.
O well, this is a huge decision for him. As long as he does what HE feels is best for HIM I respect that, whether it be ND or somewhere else.

Can I just ask, as many are ready to jump off the ledge, if this Gino guy is credible or works for a credible site? If he knows a member of Kiel's family so well, why has his name never come up before or information from him been leaked out as this painfully long soap opera has played out?

Also, I'm assuming he knows where he wants to go. Otherwise, why would he be setting self-imposed deadlines? He's taken his time weighing his options, it's a big decision, and if it's still unsettled than is it ultimately coming down to him walking up to a podium and just blurting something out and then living with the decision?

 

[btown35]

Rumors on the lsu website say Gunner has spoken to LSU coaches and committed hope its not true!

 

[NDPhilly]

Its a dead period he couldn't have.

 

[magogian]

Guys, so far these LSU rumors have no substance! They have NOT come from anything approaching reliable sources. Gunner may very well commit to LSU, but these rumors are not actually based on any real info.

 

[DillonHall]

I think you're allowed one phone call per week during the 'dead period.'

No, the guy is a rabid LSU fan that poses as a recruitnik. None of the credible LSU recruiting analysts are reporting this story. He does not know the Kiel family. He has less than zero credibility.

This post is so bad that I almost neg repped it. Read more, post less.

Thinking about that, too. If I recall....boy, let me jog my memory....a long, long time ago it was rumored and discussed on this website that Gunner Kiel called the Vandy coaches and told them it was ND. That's what happened, right??

Like I said, best advice is not to believe it until you either:
A) See Gunner Kiel say it as a press conference;
B) See it on ESPN's headlines sidebar; or
C) See it on Rivals or 247 as being definite.

Short of that it's all BS and wishful thinking.

 

[gspjeb]

LSU is doing what we were doing 24 hours ago. Unsubstantiated rumors are being taken as fact and everyone gets in a tailspin.

Only the Kiels know and they are very tight lipped about it.... Unless they have befriended and brought into the fold a radical tiger fan from Louisiana that smells of Pabst

I myself shall remain optimistic

This may have been hit on but I was very surprised to hear that when Gunner received his Mr. Football award at Columbus East, the student section was chanting L-S-U. WTF, I grew up in Floyd County (Indiana)(now living in Charlotte, NC). Why would Hoosiers be pulling for LSU? Is it b/c he decommitted from IU (a University that I love almost as much as ND). If this was already written about sorry in advance.

Props to Floyd Central High School!

Read something about a student having family at LSU started the cheer, but that could have been hearsay

 

[gspjeb]

I certainly don't believe it is because he leaked anything to the students there....he has shown himself to be way smarter than that.

I honestly think that a LSU fan started and the lemmings just jumped on board with it....as high school kids do.

I wouldnt make too much of it.

 

[Irish2155]

Also keep in mind kids in Columbus typically don't like ND...that is totally IU country. But I wouldn't think too much of it.

 

[clashmore_mike]

They also did a good job of discrediting that Gino guy's tweet from earlier saying that he had talked to one of Kiel's relatives.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Gunner has a cannon for an arm..... as i interrupt to get this back on track...

 

[Ironman8]

Guys, we just tried to clean up hundreds of nonsense posts to clean up the recruit thread yesterday, and asked to take the banter not related to Gunner as a prospect or his recruitment to another thread - then of course there is 7 pages of discussion about trolling the LSU boards. smh.

Please take that stuff somewhere else (believe Tadman started a thread for that type of stuff). We are really trying to keep the recruit threads clean, especially Kiel's, with all the nonsense out there. Thanks in advance boys. #mychristmaswish

 

[FLDomer]

Hey who is this Gunner Kiel I keep ready about??? Is he any good??? We need to lighten up, when and if it happens, it happens. I love ND more than just about anything, ask my wife, but ultimatly lets remember its a game. GO IRISH!!

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I'm thinking a Fuller vs. Kiel thread needs to be started ala Kiel vs. Mauk? What you think? lol

Automatic ban. Sorry it is the rules. They really bust our balls about this.

 

[GreatGolson]

woah, how did this get off the front page! all better. anyways, relevant question, if he does go to LSU, is he a starter from day 1? i don't follow them closely
