'23 TX S Peyton Bowen (Oklahoma Signee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

[INLaw]

On a sidenote, IB says it’s funny because “Arnold literally wanted ND to be his home.”

Last I checked we have an opening

This is 100% not true though.

How do you know it’s 100% not true?

That's not the way this works. Recruit grows up a die hard ND fan, gets slow played by our staff, commits elsewhere, his lifetime love of ND instantly flips to burning hatred, and that ensures that his original commitment remains rock solid.

Totally logical.

 

[INLaw]

Could always try saying I’m sorry. Buying him a steak and then hours of oral? I mean has always worked to shut my wife up and get what I want

 

[SoIll]

All false. He could of been irish. Had the chance. Wasn’t slow played. They would of taken his commitment in a heartbeat.

Jeff Lebby is pretty much the reason he’s a sooner.

 

[IrishLax]

He wasn’t slow played and they would’ve absolutely taken his commitment. It’s so fucking weird how just one guy made this up and spreads it as fact when it CLEARLY doesn’t line up with the timeline/order of events. You don’t need any inside knowledge to know it’s not true. I don’t know what he gets out of it. But he has convinced a lot of people who frequent his site of a total fabrication.

What’s better is Arnold said what happened in an interview and people still believe that shit. Lol

 

[Te'o4Heisman]

Without getting into too much detail, I know some people very close to the situation with Arnold here in Texas.

Beyond that, he also had the green light to commit to ND at the time and selected OU instead.

We need a bulletin board of universal truths that need accepting each recruiting cycle

I thought ND was all in on Dante in January when Arnold announced.
Arnold announced at the end of January, & by then ND was the leader for Dante and just a few weeks later Dante actually committed to ND in late Feb/early March.

I’ve heard multiple places that ND was locked into Dante & now that Dante moved on we now know what actually happened, which was he committed to ND not long after Arnold committed to OU. And Dante was who ND was pushing for.

I don’t know about that.
That might be his side of the story.
ND was pushing hard for Dante in January before Arnold committed.
Then ND actually got Dante shortly afterwards.

Freeman should recruit Lebby

This just isn’t true.

In fact, Driskell himself in late-January suggested ND needs to drop recruiting others in order to have a chance with Dante. We know per Vizzina himself he was talking to Rees daily at this time. Driskell himself also thought the OU CB stuff was just a tactic by Arnold, when in reality Arnold had already committed to the OU staff.

I’ll just let you believe what you want since you’re mind is for some reason made up. Doesnt bother me either way, just thought I could clarify some misinformation going around.

 

[ulukinatme]

Yeah, I've seen this one before...



But for real, that's a great response.

Bowen to UNC confirmed

 

[Reaper97]

Ryan Roberts interviewed Peyton Bowen yesterday & put it up this morning.

Over & over & over Peyton mentioned ND’s #1 class and how he is recruiting hard for ND.

When the visits elsewhere were mentioned he said his focus was to bond with his future teammates & recruit for ND.

Then, at the very end, dropped in this nugget…
“Me and Braylon (James), we have our secret target,” Bowen said. “We will see how it pans out.”

Yikes. “Secret target”. As in a school they’d rather be at or a recruit they’d like to flip to ND? Hard to interpret.

 

[Irish#1]

Arnold hasn’t visited ND like 5 times.

I do think it’s odd to publicly do this depending on their level of friendship, but c’mon they aren’t the same. He’s visited OU with Jackson multiple times.

Maybe the coaching staff at OU is encouraging Arnold to do this.

big reach here man.

i dont even think Braylon considered OU. He was Baylor/Stanford/ND right?

"secret target" to me is either Arnold or Novosad.

Yeah.
Ryan mentioned on the board he wasn’t going to say who, but had an idea of who it is.

I take it to mean they're trying to flip someone over to the good guys.

 

[INLaw]

Yeah I really took it as Novosad

 

[benneboy]

Yeah I really took it as Novosad

Why would Novosad be a secret target though? He isn't even committed anywhere at this point and put ND in his top 4.

Didn’t even know he had a girlfriend…much less one that was pregnant.

I know actions speak louder than words but this really does not sound like a kid who's looking to flip, so much as a kid who has a friend (Arnold) who is trying to flip him. As someone said last night, maybe someone ought tell Arnold to cool it.

Nothing is weird about horse crap being spread as truth. Absolutely common these days.

 

[Irish#1]

I see it now. Hard to interpret written statements sometimes with lack of inflection.

or stop the drinking! lol

 

[TheRealLynch51]

TIFWIW, but Oklahomas 247 staff writer says that Bowen isn't sticking with Notre Dame. He said he doesn't know if OU is getting him, but still.
