'23 FL DE Keon Keeley (Prodigal Son)

I took it to be a pretty positive thing for us.

I dont remember too many reports of recruits taking a visit where it wasn't said "they had a really good visit".

Seems to me, an elite athlete taking a visit to an elite school is almost always gonna say they had a good time. Like... Of course, right?

I also don't remember too many times when a beat reporter would say "tough flip" if that wasn't the case.

I dont know... I took it as a positive thing.

I'm in agreement. Personally, let's be honest. He's a five star stud and visited Ohio St.......of course he was going to have a good visit. But with news coming afterwards that seems to insist that they didn't really close the gap, as pessimistic as I usually am I was actually encouraged by the news. Don't get me wrong I don't like seeing him wearing their uniform and apparel, but it could've been a lot worse imo for whatever it's worth.

No kidding. Wouldn't it be great though if one time one of these elite recruits just unloaded all the negative stuff from a visit.

"Yeah, the girls are ugly, the locker room smelled like urine, the coach wanted to grind me in some creepy video. Won't be going back there again."

if a recruit leaves a visit to OSU and Kuerilic doesn’t think OSU leads then they’re likely not a factor moving forward. That’s good news, I guess. Though I never expected them to be. This is a ND/UF/Bama fight it would seem.

Who are the Readers?

Who are the Readers?

You wouldn’t think it from how big Keeley is, but one is a 2022 commit as a PWO and the other is a 2023 ND baseball commit. Best friends of Keon.

 

[Luckylucci]

Troy and Tre Reader are friend of Keeley’s. Supposedly very close friends. He spends a lot of time with their family. Troy is a 2023 ND baseball commit and Trey is a 2022 ND football PWO commit.

Edit: Had it backwards, Beau got it right.

😐

 

[BeauBenken]

Who are the Readers?

Some of Keon's best friends. Troy plays baseball and is committed to ND. Tre is a PWO commit for football.

 

[stlnd01]

Those are future varsity athletes at Notre Dame he is a full head taller than? A large dude.

 

[T-Boone]

OK thanks. Go the Readers!

 

[Mavericknyc1980]

This going to be an up and down process when deal with elite recruiting. So far so good though with everything reported. On MF he is still learning the ropes and it will be a learning experience this year. He won’t be perfect but I want to see growth and him willing to learn.

Dude is jacked. Reminds me of pics of Myles Garrett from high school.

 

[irishff1014]

A southern boy in a short sleeve shirt just rocking in a nice little snow shower. Looks like he is 23 man I hope the staff can keep him in the class. Dude is gonna be a beast!

I think that’s Chad Bowden in that pic.

He doesn’t get enough praise for what he does, helping putting the defensive classes together.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Anyone know the Readers Venmo???

Correct, that is Bowden.

He’s been getting a lot of love on social media , lately ! Parents of recruits talking about what an amazing man he is, and recruits agreeing wholeheartedly

*61 is the single best baseball movie. Roger Maris still has billboards in North Dakota. I think the state has a standing offer to pay a million dollars to any guy who can cleanly break his record.

That's assuming Roger was clean. Steroid/PED baseball was fun to watch.

These are fighting words.

Singer says ND feels Keeley is as solid as ever in his commitment, but he still could take another visit to OSU.
So that’s interesting to me because the OSU sites say that they feel he is a tough pull from ND…unless he visits again, in which they think OSU will flip him.
