'23 FL DE Keon Keeley (Prodigal Son)

[Irish4life]

I think he took ND Commit out of his Twitter Bio.... not a 100% sure he had it in there before but I believe he did.

He didn't. He has it on Instagram FWIW.

I can never take anyone seriously if they can't spell players that are on the roster right. Is what it is... sorry not sorry lol

I'm just glad to see the legacy of Christ, Reece and Gholston is reborn. Was a dark few years there where everyone spelled our starting QB's name right. Granted, it's hard to misspell Book.

As long as Friedman gets them playing well it’s all good

I like Buckster.

Good thing Bob Davies and Charlie Weiss are no longer our coach.

It's Davis and Wyess

hearing from a friend Sounds like Keeley wants to take visits into the fall. ND said they will move onto other kids and his spot might not be there . Sounds like there is another Uncle trying to come in and play Dad all if the sudden. Why is it always the Uncle of 5 stars that come in like a shark out of water. It's a cultural thing in my eyes. Uncle's in the Black and Brown community always swooping in. Wonder what the Uncle does for a living and what gives him wisdom to take his nephew through this decision. Wonder where the Uncle went to college. Good grief.

Wait what? You can't be serious? You really think this only happens in the black and brown communities? A cultural thing? My man. Please tell me you just forgot to put that part in italics.

 

[SoIll]

here we go.

 

[INLaw]

I think there would always be a spot

He must have meant any culture which recognizes a shared currency used in the exchange of goods and services. Black and brown being used as ink colors in the printing of such currencies.

Well hot damn this thread just got real interesting.

[ndinoxford]

There’s no way we are telling the number one player in the country his spot in the class is gone if he takes visits.

 

[stlnd01]

The issue of "uncles in the Black and Brown community" aside, Keeley's mom basically already said he's probably taking more visits in the fall, didn't she? And yeah we're not giving away his spot.

The thing is, he knows he has a spot. He's a top 5-10 player. I'll leave it to the coaches to know how to handle it.

 

[INLaw]

Will recruit him and other vypers and if others commit he would still have a spot found for him. May not be fair but is what it is. We need him more than they may think they need us.

Sincerely hope no one from the Keeley family reads this. Hard not to take that in a condescending way. Some people should keep their inner monologues to themselves.

This is perfectly said, a few people in this thread need to respect Keon's decision of taking visits. Hopefully he remembers why he committed to Notre Dame in the first place. This is going to be a recruiting battle for Freeman and his staff. I hope he can keep him committed, Freeman is not going to forget to recruit overnight, it is going to be a recruiting battle.

ND will not give his spot up...if you believe that get off this board.

 

[ThePiombino]

This doesn't end well. ND has the means, but simply lacks the desire to compete in the NIL arms race era. And for all you folks suggesting this isn't about $$$ because "it's Bama" and not A&M, Oregon, Miami, etc - get your head out of your ass. Saban didn't just find out a week ago who Keeley is. It's pretty clear to me that Bama's boosters finally got the message and are now stepping up to the plate. You think the recent shift in recruiting momentum for them is just coincidence? Wake up.

I'd bring another guy in to take his spot and simply start recruiting him as best available too ensure we don't end up screwed up numbers wise at the position. Expect the worst and hope for the best

[irishandy]

If it is all about the bags of $$ why hasn't he decommitted? If it's all about the bags of $$ why is he visiting OSU who just lost a commit to Bama.

I get why Bama is after him and what they have to offer; I am not sleeping on Bama.

Instead of it coming down to the $$ I wish it were these other schools are late to the party.

If signing day were tomorrow...I think Keon would sign with ND.

I don’t have any interest in going down the road that that other poster did, but an uncle popping into the equation should definitely raise eyebrows.

The vibe I’ve gotten from the sites is Keon is NIL related. Bowen is much more a local pressure, close to home thing.

Noticed the error just as I hit post, but was too late. Your reply hurt, it really did. lol
How will I ever get over it?

 

[Islandboi]

Gonna really be fun to look back on this thread. When he sticks. Lol

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Let him take his visits.
If you love something set them free....
