His commitment. Said the longer this goes the better for the Irish. OU has been pushing hard, but it looks like he's not wavering. Mentioned OU is looking at a TCU commit, so maybe OU feels he's solid with ND.
Wait, so the OU guys expected an announcement from him to commit there? Like the 247 staff?

Yeah, the way it read was strange. Back when he had a CB to OU I think he thought he would commit on the 25th. Then he mentioned the longer this goes the better for ND.

I think Laughing is right. Click bait.

ND has been pushing for him to decide in or out soon as well so I don’t see it as a OU side thing. By reports from all sides he was/is expected to “finalize” or confirm his status soon.

Ah, got it. What a bizarre thing to say - like wouldn't the ND beat guys put something out that confirms that line of thinking if it was actually going to happen? Weird, F OU.

This is very different from the CJ Carr performance. Um... yeah, Bowen is going to be an AA. Not that CJ won't but damn it's good to see real football after the Saline shit show I just watched.

These kids are a problem.
He's an absolute ball hawk and his speed is off the chain. He's the best safety in the nation imo. It's funny early in the recruiting process we all thought we would be upgrading with Downs. No way. P. Bowen is every bit as good and likely better than Downs. Holding onto this kid is going to define Freeman's first class and ability to keep the poachers away for '24. It's the difference between an elite class and just a really good class.

I just hope he sees ND as Safety U. He's young, so names like Harrison Smith might not mean a lot to him, but ND has done about as well at developing elite safeties as any program in the nation. Kyle Hamilton and Brandon Joseph are going to be NFL starting safeties.

When was Downs a possibility? He was always a pipe dream, no?

A few of us, myself included, thought we had a chance after his OV. To be fair, I think Caleb really liked ND, he just liked 2-3 other schools more. You don't visit a place 4-5 times, like he did with ND, if you don't like the place.
