Right, so there is direct financial incentive to drum up drama here. Saying "he's going to Oklahoma" and taking the suspense out of it would literally cost them money.

Look, I hope he comes to ND as much as anyone. I just think it's convenient how we've gone from "Marcus Freeman isn't even going to visit" to "oooooo looks like it might be ND for Bowen!!! stay glued to your computer to follow all the twists and turns!!"

And to be clear, this is 0% a slight on Loy. He is a true professional and very good at his job. I'm just saying the industry as a whole has financial incentive for things to be as suspenseful and dramatic as possible.
This Loy-friendly IE is not what we signed up for!

Couple other nuggets from the NSD Eve Tom Loy tell-all:
- Loy thinks Keeley stays with ND if NIL isnt a thing. Elston leaving was a bigger issue than let on
- Hanafin got cold feet due to the number of quality WRs we were taking and went radio silent on the staff after telling Stuckey he was coming
That's interesting about Elston and Keeley. Makes sense though. Elston is a good dude.

If Hanafin is set on being a WR he probably made the right move for his football career (though all Clemson seems to do is throw swing passes and shit so maybe not). But he also could turn into a pretty good safety, and would've been nice insurance for Bowen. Of course then we probably don't go get Hillman.

You have to think at this point he is assured to play wherever and whenever the fuck he wants. He is certainly being told he will play Safety and Return Specialist if he wants and possibly give him looks on the offensive side of the ball if he wants, too.

ND can't keep losing top recruits. He is our only 5 star left (247 Rankings). Optics of success matter.

Good morning and Happy NLI Morning!!

Just a reminder that now is a good time to put on you Adult Pampers in the event that things don't go as we want.

If things do go the way we want, I will enjoy my morning coffee and Marly dart just a little more than usual. Cats and dogs will line the streets hugging and dancing. Politicians from both sides of the aisle will meet in the middle and will have live make out sessions with light petting. ND fans will fire up Jameson shots as far as the eye can see. OU fans will wallow in their own tears, take a few extra hits off of the meth pipe, and be so sad that even the thought of plugging their second cousin will be out of the realm of possibility.

Whatever the outcome, this is the day that months and months of back and forth posting between some very good and knowledgeable members (and some tier 6 dog shit posters) comes to fruition. Enjoy the day my friends.... and you too tier 6 dog shit posters.

I haven’t talked to PB tonight, so no update.

I’m feeling Oklahoma or ND at this point. No info, just my gut, but Oregon is out.

Also think his girlfriend may have a role, but it may come down to other factors.

Bank it.

Can I send you some money and subscribe to your recruiting site?

Gotta be honest, didn’t have Google “Marley Dart” at 7:05 on my ESD bingo card, but here we are…

I posted the other day that I don't too invested in recruiting. Well here I am checking again. I guess a more apt description is that I accept disappointment, but still have to know.
Just admit it to yourself and you can move on in peace.
