Can't say I blame Kiel for taking so much time with his decision. All those faulting him for taking his time have obviously never had to make a decision as important as the one he is currently pressured to make. This is a huge decision that will without a doubt affect his future, for better or worse.

We should all have the presence of mind to realize that Kiel is just a kid who has a lot more on his plate than any of us could ever imagine and just be patient. Let's hope he chooses ND, but I hope the best for him either way.

Except for those that chose between school or the military, right? I take great exception to you saying nobody has had to make as hard a decision as a kid choosing his free education at LSU or ND over those that had to choose the military or not.

At this point, who gives a crap? To even police this thread is pointless. I've given up sending reports and apparently the mods have given up too....and you know what??? I agree. This kid had better be the second coming of Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Joe Green and Joe Momma for all the attention that he's drawing to himself.

hell, it took him all of 15 minutes to choose Indiana, that's right, THAT INDIANA... Yet he's agonizing over this? Give me a break. Someone is enjoying the bright lights just a little too much.

If he's not going to be Irish, I'm officially moved on. Bring on Mr. Fuller. Hell, he may be a project, but quite frankly, from a pure talent standpoint, might be freaking better than any other athlete we have on the current damn roster. And that's no joke.

YA BABY GET MEAN I can't believe what seems to be such a good kid is thinking about LSU. Its been said that he wants to work with children, but I don't think getting a childs education at one of the thug schools is the way to go about it.

Thank, HCTI. Somebody who, unlike myself, has not been labeled an eye poker nedeed needed to say that.
Either this kid is the most reticent five star qb recruit ever (and there aren't many reticent qbs) or he is enoying this too much.11 days before he needs to ee, at least at ND.
He is doing the schools he spurns a disservice at this point. They need to know how hard they should press for another qb.
I am convinced that he will never hold a presser. He is going to walk out in driveway in two weeks, get in a Uhaul with his dad and make reporters follow him. If goes south it's LSU, east it's Vandy and north it's ND. That's how we'll find out.

LSU IMO. No info, this just seems to be trending away from us

Based on what? Unsubstantiated rumors? For all we know we can be sitting even prettier than ever before with this kid right now. It's also possible we haven't been in the race for the past month. Who knows- my point is that to assume anything at this point would be foolish.

He may have made a decision and notified all the schools involved and they have moved on to other recruits. The schools themselves are not allowed to comment on a recruit until NSD; therfore, it is up to him or his family to make a statement about his status to the public at this point. For whatever reason they a choosing not too talk.

Thank you Pandfan for some actual news. It'd be nice if there were no more talk about 'it's Gunner's decision and you don't care how long it takes him', or, 'I don't believe it's LSU until I hear it from a real source'. I'm sure the mods would appreciate if we kept it strictly news from here on, so don't wear yourselves out speculating. Trust me, what ever theory you've concocted is already burried in the 180+ pages.

What's funny is Jamie Newberg provided absolutely no new information. More than likely she just assumed he would decide this week based on his timetable last week and added what's been going around the internet boards about LSU. Then to throw in some mystery she added her own little bit. It's ashame that's what news has come to.

I hear he is still silently committed to Indiana. He just said he decommitted to see if he could hit 200 pages on his Irish Envy thread.

would he have to even bother with going to class in the SEC?

I’m sure you have to go at some point; I bet they have “tutors” that “help” them with their homework and tests. Gunner did say that education was important to him so ………

I believe that he committed on Friday to LSU, but I also believe that the fact that he hasn't announced indicates that he's still considering, and reconsidering the decision.

That seems to be in your favor, ND, not ours, LSU.
I do think he's a good kid and will be a credit to whichever school he attends. Nothing but the best to him, and to Notre Dame, whenever they don't play LSU.

Where, might I ask, are you sourcing this from? Oh! And welcome aboard!

Reports on Tigerdroppings seem to be strong enough, and consistant enough from various posters, that I believe it to be true. There's a lot of smoke there, but, as I said, there is still no announcement.

I've been on Tigerdroppings for eight years. And, while there is no linkable "source", it is my judgment that the commitment reports are true. And, that's all this is, my judgment of other posts.

Below is a tweet from:

"MyIndianaFootball@MyIndianaFB

Gunner Kiel is expected to make his decision soon! We'll bring you exclusive coverage! In the meantime, some highlights Columbus East

So, we may be getting close to an announcement. Good luck to you guys.

I tried to reply, but I must have pushed the wrong button. The report that he had called and committed to Coach Miles on Friday came from several posters on Tigerdroppings, and appears to be true. But, that is really an opinion rather than a linkable source.

This tweet was made a while ago, so we may be getting closer to an announcement.
