Not necessarily. Arik was probably set to announce for Cal yesterday until the Lupoi news turned that on his head. He may just need a day or two (and an in-home from Kelly) to definitively settle on ND. I expect both Armsteads to be Irish before the week is out.

What are you saying, though? That Arik still likes Cal? Because that ship has sailed, at least according to reports. Or are you saying Arik might be favoring Auburn and agreeing with me? Or are you just squashing my theory, lol.

id be pretty shocked if Kelly has not used is in home yet. Only getting 1 from a HC seems like a silly rule to me.

Saw it reported yesterday that he's visiting Stanley today. I don't know where Stanley's from, though. Thought it was Nevada. I hope he has time to swing out to Cali.

I think that both brothers currently favor ND, but Arik wants a day or two to talk it over with his family and the coaching staff before formally announcing. If, as was widely assumed, Arik intended to announce for Cal yesterday, then this has all been very sudden for him. I don't think delaying his announcement by another couple days means that he favors Auburn.

Now if this drags on past the weekend, I'll start getting nervous. But I don't expect it to.

So basically, you just don't buy this tweet:

GregBiggins Armstead decision is fascinating to watch, hearing each brother could favor a diff school right now #Notre Dame #Auburn

Fair enough, just confused over what you were saying (ps, I hope you're right).

I'd love to know where he's hearing that from, because I haven't seen any allusion to that.

FWIW, Biggins followed that tweet up with:

If the Irish do land both Armsteads, my call, and you add them to Kiel, Shepard, Day and Carlisle, that's an incredible haul for the spring

So not even he buys that tweet.

As was just quoted....That's your opinion man.

not opinion...logical. A thread dedicated to pictures should be used. I am tired of seeing meaningless posts with pictures that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. I am a religious man, but posting praying pics is nothing but spam, especially when there is a whole thread dedicated to it...

delay of a few days i agree...week delay i say doesn't look good and may drive him back to cal, imo

No kidding! If he delays a week he probably won't be able to ee anywhere, which was his #1 goal.

Didn't someone say that Auburn started classes last week? What would be his realistic deadline there?

Also, if Arik is still considering Cal, time is on ND's side as the attrition in their class appears to be just beginning.

Cal's officially out according to the family. It's ND v. Auburn, and I have a really hard time believing Auburn is a serious contender.

See my above quote, many schools started Spring semester one week before Notre Dame.

I would be more concerned when Washington, I know Guss said that was out, or OSU started class!
