Like telling that hot girl who has little interest in you that you're not interested in her so she'll want to date you. lol

Yeah until she meets someone else right before the dance.
Makes you wonder even if he does sign if he will stay. He clear is not that amazed with ND

Has this ever worked? Has any kid ever been told that and come back crawling and repentant?
Correct response is Irishize's; if you're not fully committed, we'll keep recruiting at the position. No hurt feelings, no burnt bridges.
(I actually suspect ND's already said that and that's why they're very publicly making a push for Dallas Turner.)

I just noticed that ESPN has David Abiara as undecided/uncommitted.

For now he re-affirmed his commitment to Elston, if that means anything. It sounds like he’ll keep that as status quo until he takes visits. At which point, when allowed, he’ll be visiting OU and Texas.

So then no, he's not committed. ESPN has it right.

I think he was actually removed as a commit on 247 for a short period of time, but he reached out and was adament that they continue to show him as a commit. Weird situation. Doesn't feel like it ends well for us. Especially if he can't make it back on campus.

His recruitment has been odd. I wonder what ND's plan B is if he does decommit. I sure hope he visits ND if he visits OU and Texas.

He's clearly hedging his bets. This isn't a Jerry Tilery situation.

The word on the OU 247 is that there was big pressure for Abiara to flip this weekend, and the lack of one by the end of the weekend would be significant and might mean the lead has changed https://247sports.com/college/oklah...-what-could-happen-more-stay-tuned-148822071/

My gut says Texas. Some OU fans still think Abiara could commit to them later this month. Regardless, think it would be silly to consider him an ND commit, despite his desire to remain one on the sites/in the coaches eyes. We're still clearly recruiting him, just like we're still recruiting Colzie. I feel better about Abiara recommitting, if that means anything (it doesn't).

Drumm has a big post naming six guys who could pop for OU, and Abiara isn't even mentioned. https://247sports.com/college/oklah...Gilliam-David-Abiara-Kendal-Daniel-148879194/
Does mention Gillum and Burris, which would fill out their class.
Reading between the lines, OU miiiiight have passed here. But if so, that still leaves Texas.
Oh, and SMU offered. https://247sports.com/Article/Footb...sive-end-David-Abiara-Crystal-Ball-148842243/

I wonder if the staff will have his replacement ready or if that takes a bit.
From the various reports, I’m really unimpressed with how this kid has handled his recruitment.

The other tea leaf re: Abiara is that OU just missed out on Marcus Burris, meaning there's no longer any question of whether he'd be a take for them https://247sports.com/Player/Marcus-Burris-46050583/
My uninformed guess is the silent replacement could be Colin Mobley, since there was rumblings not long ago that he's not completely solid on the Trojans.

It does suck, and I wish him the best, but not if he meets the Irish on the gridiron
Sure is. Bye!
