First, he has committed to ND. That’s kind of part of this whole thing. He committed to the ND staff in some fashion in February or March. He has not publicly announced to ND.

Second, I didn’t see this sentiment expressed when folks were pondering if maybe the reason ND was so confident was because ND had equipped him with a NIL deal. So this isn’t a matter of ND does things the right way, if many fan here’s were okay with ND taking the NIL route if it meant shutting down recruiting to land a 5 star QB.

Third, now we connect things. Dante has talked about what great relationships he has with Freeman, Rees etc. There is also a heavily reported sentiment for months that Dante would not leave the Midwest. There are other reasons, but when you start to connect all these things, it begs a logical question, why visit places you have apparently no plan to go to? For “fun”, “once in a lifetime experience”, “to be sure”. Well none of those reasons need 6+ months to check off. None involve needing to go back on your word to the staff. So the visits, the communication gaps, must be taking place for some other purpose.
Where is the silent commit intel coming from?

And just about ALL of this is based on speculation and people making assumptions. Do you know for a FACT any of this is true?

I will answer for you, because the answer ir no, you dont. Even the speculation around ND and potential NIL. Thats the point…nobody knows but everybody had an opinion on the kid.

If I start now with the Dante Moore recruitment to just resign to nobody knows anything then what’s the point, I’d just stop following recruiting.

Something definitely had ND feeling very comfortable with Moore’s recruitment, but that seemed to change with more visits. Having Carr onboard changes the leverage point. Also, I wonder who Freeman was talking about when speaking in CA about a program changing quarterback?

Most likely Dante Moore since that's who the question was specifically about.

I dont know, maybe to follow events in recruiting that actually happen versus random speculation and judgement on a kid or his family based on nothing really.
Everyone please align to these rules and way of thinking immediately.

So his visits didn’t occur? Or they did but we can’t talk about it? Sorry just don’t want to get out of line.

Which is fair and probably the right move lol. But if you’re dipping you’re toe into recruiting “speculation” is basically the name of the game, not all a sudden to be thrown out.

All you have to is say something like CNN is a completely unbiased source of news and it will take care of its self. No other skills needed. Thread will be derailed in in a minute
Let me do that for you. CNN and Foxnews are both entertainment only and propaganda mouthpieces that only feed the divide in this country. They both suck ass.

Where is the silent commit intel coming from?
Here is the skinny on Dante Moore as far as I know:
1. He absolutely, 100% told ND coaches that he was coming. Call it a silent commitment or whatever, but he told them he was in but wanted to finish his visits before announcing.
2. He started going on his world tour of NIL schools and basically each one offered him a bag thinking he would commit and then he was like "nah I'm good." This is why so many schools were like "cautiously optimistic" and then went to "we aren't getting him, he must be locked in somewhere else (i.e. ND)" as soon as he turned down the money.
3. Many schools saw their only angle to be to neg recruit ND about their new, inexperienced staff and try to convince him to extend the process into the season to see the product on the field. I do not know the extent to which he was taking this to heart, but his public comments after some visits made it seem like he was buying the idea that extending the process could only help him.
4. The bigger issue is that by 1) showing tons of interest in NIL 2) focusing so much of his most recent visit to ND on NIL 3) waffling like crazy about his timeline... unless you are a rube, you have to start considering the potential that you're going to get dropped at the 11th hour for the "highest bidder" even if he did commit to ND.
Given the poster here, I think it is safe to trust the bolded above. As to specifically where it comes from, I don't know. But Lax doesn't just post stuff that is mere rumor.

Football recruiting is real time reality show soap opera. Accept this and then you will be ok. I lose as much sleep over Not getting a 5star qb as I did when there was that bitch fight in Dynasty

The owners of IE agree:

I said the quiet part out loud guys. My bad.
Kidding aside tho, the premium subscription sites are absolutely loving this recruitment and that’s why you see so many “nothing” updates.

THE LATEST ON DANTE MOORE ($) … then you click it and there is literally no change in info from months ago.

And to be fair to them, you see like 3x a day on premium boards like “STAFF: Dante Moore???” I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen something like this. Maybe Aaron Lynch.

So you dont think its weird and kind of inappropriate almost for a bunch of grown men to sit in a chat forum and talk negatively about a 17 yr old kid they have never met, and make accusations about his family, who they have also never met just based on their own speculation because he is not making life decisions on the timeline they think he should?

Nobody knows anything factual about Dante, or his dad or family, yet people are in here “speculating” and downright making accusations about their family and character based on nothing more than assumptions and guesses.

Grow the fuck up. If you cant see there is something wrong with this, nobody can help you.

How are these things inappropriate and negative:

- He wants to stay in the Midwest
- He gave a silent commitment in the spring

That’s my problem with your rant. Is you’ve now made sweeping statements that all speculation, all reporting, everything that isn’t “fact” to you is negative, inappropriate speculation. The nobody knows anything argument is ridiculous. The sweeping statements are as baseless as some of the comments you actually have issue with.

In fairness this is totally different,… the name Aaron just brings extra attention and eyeballs in general
