'21 FL CB Philip Riley (Notre Dame Early Enrollee)

[NDIrish88]

He noted that USC had strong academics and he is going to try and get Michael Trigg to USC. I mean . . .

He and Polian started following each other last week.

Didn't think much about it but TL says ND's going for a Reflip.

Aw shit

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Are we Tuitt him?

 

[317Irish]

Is there time for him to recommit, get another top offer and decommit again? I mean that would be tough, especially if he decided to early enroll. Screw it, I’m calling it again! Commit, decommit, recommit, re-decommit!

 

[irishandy]

Seems like he didn't leave on bad terms with ND. If he re-committed that would be huge. Like NDCrusader said above, this was a huge loss.

 

[stpeteirish]

why shouldn't he flip back? USC's already recruiting over him.

how so? half the commits that are listed as db's are playing offense or different poisition on def

 

[BobbyMac]

Took all his SC commitment stuff off Twitter.

If ND's going to reflip him, the only reason I'm down is for the Mickens > SC's Darth Williams.

Besides that, This is red flag overload.

But hey, if you can flip a bat without getting plunked in the skull, maybe this is ok too?

lol, yup. has been from the very start.

 

[Luckylucci]

Maybe he was hardcore trolling our biggest rival? It’s either that or crazy red flags everywhere.

 

[PANDFAN]

His last 3 likes on Twitter were ND stuff... F'ing weird.. But sure who is doing any mentoring or helping him with the process but this immaturity is a code red flag... Stay away here

 

[NDIrish88]

Can he bring Michael trigg with him if he comes back.

 

[BeatSC]

He will wash out at usc and not get his degree and just be another 4 star thru their revolving door. Maybe ND will give him a shot when he enters the portal in two years

IIRC, he comes from a military background. Usually self-discipline and decisiveness are recurring traits I’ve noticed in these types of kids. Perhaps Riley is struggling with it at the moment.

After all, we need to remember, this is more than likely the biggest decision of his life that will have the greatest impact on his future.

Thanks for that. The mere fact that he is struggling could be a wide variety of things, including a tendency to overthink major decisions, not uncommon for your typical 17 year old. Frankly the whole notion of a "verbal commitment" seems a bit of a misnomer. Realistically we should think of it more as "an intent" to commit.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Loy with the cb

 

[AllTimeIrish]

Did the Clemson win convince him?

Weirdness.

 

[NDMIA]

I really hope Riley comes back in the fold. He’s been retweeting a lot of ND stuff recently. I don’t care if he’s flip flopping cause I believe once he’s on campus he’ll play and see how awesome of a program it is to be a part of. I think this win is going to be a huge boon for the staff. Donovan Edwards, Ceyair Wright, Kelvin Gilliam, Byron Cardwell, Philip Riley, Titus Mokiao-Atimalala, Caleb Johnson and Kahanu Kia are among the top targets on ND’s 247 page. I’m hoping these guys are noticing or getting enticed by playing for a #2 team in the country.

 

[Crazy Balki]

ISD just did a recruiting recap and it appears that Riley is leaning back to us now. Matt Freeman essentially said he would put in a CB for Riley if he hadn't kept it the same back in May.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Just makes these next few weeks all the more important

 

[ThePiombino]

lol 2020, amirite?

 

[NDFAN420]

Mickens: Hey Phillip, did you see that game? We just beat #1. And we still could have used you in the secondary.

Riley: Sold.

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

Stephon Tuitting Riley

 

[garyasher]

or this guy,

21 MI RB Donovan Edwards

Check his thread out.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Brandon Huffman with a confident cb. I’m guessing this happens soon

Sounds like it.

 

[NDPhilly]

Honestly think getting Riley back is a bigger get than Donovan Edwards. DB is probably our biggest area of worry as far as depth goes. Houston Griffith and Derek Allen being busts certainly hurt.

 

[BeauBenken]

Would be curious to get the whole story from Riley's mouth as to why he decommitted and then recommitted.
