'23 IN LB Drayk Bowen (Notre Dame Signee)

[Reaper97]

I wonder if the hint was when he was putting together the commitment show on CBS Sports with the Bowens?

247's pitch?

"Hey Drayk, ya better commit while you're still so highly ranked cuz your fall is inevitable. Our southern writers will vote you out of the Top247 as soon as they figure out you turned down CFB royalty in Clemson & Auburn to play baseball in the winter."

Checkout On3's new Industry Comparison page for Bowen:

https://www.on3.com/db/drayk-bowen-38845/recruiting/121323/rankings/

I will give you a little insight about On3…the guys they have hired away from other sites are a lot of guys who covered the south region & they are really biased in analyzing recruits. Don’t expect Bowen to get a fair shake over there.

I can’t believe how little attention this is getting? Nobody on Rivals has even reported yet?

Huh?

He’s committing tonight, correct? Weird this thread is so quiet!

He is committing at 9pm ET

I’m 99% sure he already committed to ND & is making it public tonight.

All the mods on all the sites are purposely not saying a word & pretty much ignoring questions about him. It’s a pretty good sign they know the decision & were asked to keep quiet. It’s like the kid doesn’t exist the way the sites are acting.
Also, an Auburn mod put his pick in for ND this morning.

Are you meaning to say “biased”?

Sapp’s silences were the best. Would legit go radio silence not just half silent. Usually wasn’t a commitment announcement either it’d be like a out of the blue huge nugget of info

 

[IrishLax]

Yeah another huge piece of the puzzle in the '23 recruiting class. Will be underrated because we picked him up so early but he's a legit 5-star on most sites and a composite 5-star. Huge in state recruit to land. Freeman has been crushing LB recruiting in his first two classes.

You think all Irish?

 

[fightingirish26]

He's gonna be a bulky dude. Saw him on campus during Cincy weekend and you'd think he was already a college linebacker. Mike or Will? A lot has to do with what Kollie and the 22 class become, I know.

 

[Luckylucci]

I'm here for the party!

He's been committed for awhile, just not publicly.

 

[Riddickulous]

Feels like we say this every other year and are disappointed but this could be an absolute monster defensive class.

 

[BeauBenken]

I'm not ready to celebrate just yet, but I hope we lock this down and he becomes another big 5 star talent on the defensive side of the ball. This 2023 class is starting to look silly good if all the pieces start to fall into place.

Is there a set time prior to an announcement that bat signals are sent out?

Need to recruit blue chip DB's the same way they're getting LB's.

Morrison and Mickey is a good start in '22, and Shuler seems to be a great start in '23, but they really need Moore and/or Bellamy to be better than their current rankings, and they need a certifiable stud lockdown CB in '23.

I wonder if Mickens and Freeman beating the 'Sauce Gardner was our guy' drum would be weird while recruiting for ND...

I have a feeling that he is going to be a stud.

I don't think you're going to get bat signals BEFORE the kid announces on CBS. But they'll be revved up and ready to go for immediately after, I'm sure.

 

[Reaper97]

There are no rules or normalities with Bat Signals.
In fact, I would be shocked if one was sent out because the kid is doing a televised announcement and doesn’t want anybody reporting beforehand on it. ND would never go against a kid’s wishes.

Feels like we say this every other year and are disappointed but this could be an absolute monster defensive class.

The 2022 defensive class (which is very good!) has these composite rankings:

0.9837
0.9505
0.9468
0.9439
0.9121
0.9114
0.9009
0.8958
0.8830
0.8796

If Bowen does join then the four verbals in the 2023 defensive class have these composite rankings:

0.9870
0.9868
0.9544
0.9175

That's quite a start.

 

[fightingirish26]

I bet the bat signals come out sometime soon. The #GraduatingChampions tweet from BK won't come til after it's public.

 

[condoms SUCk]

Could Drayk’s commitment be the quietest 5* commitment ever?

 

[Rizzophil]

What time again?

 

[NDty9]

Any links for this ???

 

[Rockin’Irish]

The commitment is at 9PM Eastern Time…….so it should start in about 5 minutes

 

[NDty9]

CBS listing him with a 100% chance to commit to ND !!!
