I am going to get accused of being DU Lac for this but it is one the best gauges on where a kids head is at. All of Keeleys likes for two weeks before his decommitment were Bama posts. All of JLoves likes before his commitment were ND posts even when people were saying ATM is a threat.

The other good gauge is how they are interacting with the other 23 commits, Keeley shut them down/blocked them out the last couple weeks before his decommitment. BD said that Bowen is very actively talking to the other recruits in the class.
It's hard enough to read the minds of 18 year olds you know, let alone ones you've never met, but those two factors do feel like far better indicators of where a recruit's head is at than "sources in the Gug," or reporters' hunches, or even rumored future visits.

It’s pretty amazing how dead wrong one side is gonna be in the end.

The OU and some national reporters think he may not even visit for Clemson and if he does it’s just a courtesy visit.
It's crazy. Reminds me a little of Amorion Walker but hopefully this one goes to the good guys. I don't think Bowen is outright lying to people like Walker was though. I just mean two schools both feel like they have him 100% locked in.

If ND can hold this class together it would be incredible. A lot of these guys could be playing next year, Bowen included.

I feel like it's bullshit if you give yourself an out. "He won't visit there" is completely different than "He won't visit there, but if he does, it's to be nice".

“he either gets reminded of what he committed to or it also could be the downside of not what he signed up for.”

Not exactly giving off the warm and fuzzies

Did he sign up for what A&M has shown or Oklahoma? A&M is a dumpster fire and Oklahoma their defense sucks.

I haven't been on as much as I'd like and didn't see this til now.

I don't share the feeling that these kids should be taking visits after their committed. However, I appreciate where it's coming from.

On the other hand, this is just a slap in the face to our staff and see it no other way.

This weekend is clearly our last chance to keep this kid committed. Hope we show up.

Circling back to this, seems barring a shock Bowen’s will be in town as planned for months, from the ND side.

Does make me think damn maybe ND is gonna be the one right all along here? We hope. The OU guys repeatedly acted like it won’t happen. National guys leaving it out of interviews.

It must be because the Bowen's are "nice" lol

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say Bowen sticks.

You can't witness that beauty and second-guess your decision to commit now.

This. If he doesnt want to be a part of what is building at ND, whatever. We all want him here, but what else can you do with him at the game. Dude is a DB, and look how good the DBs played, mostly Morrison but still.

Early report from Christian at ISD is he enjoyed the visit, but gave no indication to anyone that he was ready to shut down everything.
