Even if duke is getting the "hype", if he ovs, it's the Miami one that I'd be more worried about. I say go ahead and ov to duke.

Miami keeps him in state, it's a private school, richt is a good recruiter, and the program has momentum for first time in how long. I just refuse to take duke football seriously.

Miami won't be a serious player here.

Depends how good you are.

Tillery took visits, for example. He swore publicly it was just to support his teammates (while privately ND coaches were prepared for the worst).

Another way to say it is that he, and all of these kids, have re-learned what the word "commitment" means from the NCAA.

Thanks again, NCAA, you bunch of phonies!

Yeah. I don't know why we should expect these kids to make an ironclad "commitment" when they see many (not all, not Notre Dame, but many) schools pushing out recruits, or even scholarship sophomores, when something better comes along. If Austin commits to ND, that's great. And as long as he and the coaching staff have an understanding about his taking OVs, I've got no problem with it. It's the sneaky, last-minute visits you've got to worry about.

Or when coaches continue to recruit other school's commitments.

It doesn't happen in B-ball, even though it is apparently "inevitable."

Seems as though once you let one it's out the bag to enforce on others but I'll be interested in how this plays out.

Someone with only one foot in the door is always a risk, even after on campus

I don't think it's a hardcore, no-visit policy like Brady Hoke used to have. I think it's, if you take visits, we'll recruit other players at your position and then you may not have a spot. The no visits is for guys to lock up there spot because they are solid.

Sounding like Duke now. But he will still visit all schools in the fall so we'll have to let this process play out regardless of what occurs on Friday.

Why do you say this?

I think either he's publically said or others have gotten the vibe that this is only a temporary #1, not a really hard commitment. And there's almost no way that somebody can watch game day at Notre Dame and game day at Duke and still want to go to Duke

Sounds like Austin is either laying the smokescreen for the obvious ND pick, or he's sending out mixed signals to reporters because he doesn't know how a decision for Duke will be received.

So what would be the rationale behind this decision?
- Duke closer to home?
- Cutcliffe great man and recruiter?
- Cutcliffe great offensive mind?
- Duke feels comfortable for him?
- Better weather in the South?

I mean does Duke even have a video board?
