There will nearly always be a last minute defection.

Especially with an 8-5 team.

It happens every year.

To be fair, we were 8-5 when he supposedly committed, too. He's not bailing because we had a disappointing season.

Maybe it's to create buzz around his announcement after a bunch of insiders took his commitment with the ND predictions not too long ago. Yeah that's what I'm gonna tell myself!

Why are all these ex players tweeting at him and congratulating him on his commitment? I have never seen this before. Seems like we could be shooting ourselves in the foot here.

The way it's phrased it sounds like he's pitching him. Which makes me think it really isn't a done deal.

Haha the funny thing is this may actually be accurate - Flex will be APART of ND history LMFAO

I would agree, but Miami is worse off than we are. Yes, they have the homefield advantage here, but I don't think our regular season record will be a factor in this one. If he was spurning us for Bama or Oregon, I would agree, but Miami?

+++++

My uneducated and uninformed $.02 - he's all Irish

This board cracks me up, even when it's not intentional. Over analysis of everything from A-Z. One looks at something and sees a positive the next as a negative.

Relax, we will have our answer tomorrow.

That's kind of misleading. He hasn't tweeted anything Miami, he has just retweeted a couple Miami tweets that he was mentioned in

That's how I see it too. I don't see anything from him directly pointing to the U. Of course all his friends are gonna be tweeting the local school at him.

I don't think there's a "national" analyst whose opinion means less to me than Farrell's lol

Steve Hare on II said one of the commits we have let it slip that Dexter is in the group chat with all the other commits. Maybe (hopefully) this is all just smoke to generate buzz for the announcement?

In terms of all the former players tweeting "welcomes" to Dexter, perhaps the staff got a "commitment" from him, but they see the Miami smoke turning into a potential fire, so they've asked former players to "welcome" him to ND as a form of subtle pressure.

"Hey, you committed, and we're telling former running backs that you committed, and now they're welcoming you to ND, so don't let us down."

Jesus Christ. What if Grubl was right.

Potential game changer. If only there were a flowchart that neatly explained whether we should start tweeting recruits like Cane fans...
