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.
Well..because first you do not know for a FACT he gave any commitment. Even that is speculation and assumptions at this point.

Second even if he did, the accusations and comments about him and his family and their character are based on what? Because he isnt working on the timelines people on this board think he should?

P. Bowen publicly commits and then keeps taking visits and talking to schools and he gets bashed for that “why commit…dont get married if youre not done dating, blah blah blah”.

Moore doesnt commit or at least make it public, but now he is money hungry and overplaying his cards and his dad is controlling amd everything else because he hasnt committed and started recruiting other kids and thats what fans wanted.

Give it a break unless you personally know Dante, or you know something about the recruitment and Dante or his dads character that nobody else knows and hasnt been reported yet as anything more than speculation…hell its not even hearsay at this point…its just guesses and assumptions made to fit the narrative that fans have created.

Interesting. Who’s been doing that?

This is one of those maybe he ends up at ND and maybe he doesn’t, but either way you have to wonder why he bothered “committing” to ND when he did when he clearly was nowhere near done with the process.

Again here is my only issue with this back and forth, separate paragraph one and two. If you wanna call everything in recruiting that isn’t spoken fact speculation fine go ahead. Don’t encompass that all then to negative and inappropriate and whatever implication you’ve taken. Because it ain’t true.

I 100% made that comment…because he DID do that and it is fact. Again that is kind of my point. If it becomes public that any of the speculation is true and factual that becomes a different and more justified conversation, but right now we have people attacking a kid and his family making judgements about their character and motives without a fact base, just people trying to read tea leaves and connect dots that may or may not be connected.

So because Bowen publicly committed we’re allowed to “bash” him? That was the point you were making in the previous post?

We should run a contest. What post # will this thread be at when he commits. Winner gets to ban one person of their choosing… 😉

I get it…speculation is part of the game…speculating which direction a kid might be leaning or whatever, but it is BS the direction this thread had turned the past couple weeks, and then accelerated after CJs commitment.

I really dont feel like going back and mining the comments, but you know damn well the difference. I have been reading your posts on this board in general for a long..you are Not stupid and quite honestly I am surprised you are defending in a sense the direction people are going with this based on only what we Know at this point. I just feel like it is going to far considering it only has speculation to support it. Thats all.

Where did i bash him? I questioned why he committed if he wasnt done with the process and was still taking visits and communicating in the way he was with other teams at the time. Him being on other campuses routinely wasn’t a fair basis to question why he committed but wasnt done with the process?

You said in you’re previous posts that almost everything I had just said was speculation. And then later said we should stick to only real events and not speculation. So I am not defending attacking Moore, I am defending basic reporting you call speculation and have then proceeded to combine these as this inappropriate action.

Huh? Now you’ve pivoted somehow to me going after basic reporting?

Ok you win. I’m not going to keep doing this 🤯

This may be the greatest pair of back-to-back posts in the history of this website.
I’m so glad I saw this post, which led me to look back at these previous posts. Never again will I refer to Dale as Donkey-brain Dale… never again.

So are we still in it with Moore?
Now we have Carr I wouldn’t worry about the 3 star QB for 2013 just try to patch things up with Moore (provided Carr is okay with him) and throw everything at him.

Driskell and Loy think the staff will continue to push for Moore but it's not 100%. If the staff pushes for him they both believe he'll sign with ND.

I don't understand why the staff wouldn't push for him?

Until I see some indication that the staff is going after any other qb in 2023, isn't pursuing Dante a no brainer?

It should be. He's a tremendous talent and a 4.0 student. He'd be a great fit at ND and we'd be lucky to have him.
Absolutely. Provided it is with CJ Carr's blessing (he should have priority given he is locked in and appears keen to recruit) then what is the issue?
