Recruiting Crashing

The info I got from another premium site was that Bowen is still locked into his commitment to ND.
Maybe you should change your forum name to Negative Nancy, it fits you perfectly.
Clicks for the easily duped. You seem to fall into that category. Congrats?
I must have missed the National Championship we've won the last 30 years, or winning a big bowl game.
Sorry, to quote the great Lou Holtz "If you aim for perfection, you will reach greatness, if you aim to be good, you will be average"
That's fine, he's not committed in the coaches mind nor should he be in anyone's mind.
From the info. I have the only recruit we will likely lose is P. Bowen. Other than that, the class should stay intact and we should add 1 or 2 more. The issue I have with Bowen recruitment is the way it's being done. Waiting until NSD or some AA game to flip away from ND will be a mega level of disrespect to the coaches that put so much time and love into his recruitment. I understand choices aren't easy, but at this point, you should stick to your recruitment if you have any degree of integrity. I hope he sticks, but it seems rather unlikely given what I am hearing.
How do you know definitively that Peyton Bowen will not announce for Notre Dame?
I don't. It just seems to be trending away. Recent info. from Kyle Kelly wasn't too charming in this regard. I'd post it, but I'd probably get warned.
I'm hearing the complete opposite from other forums. We'll see who ends up being correct. For one, the rumors a week ago, that a flip was imminent, like any day now turned out to be completely false. We are over week since that story broke, and Bowen is still committed to ND.
On the other hand, Ryan Roberts had a very positive update on Bowen on the IB board last night.... Also said that when talking to a recruit in the 23 class about Bowen they said recruits are getting "critical of the national media trying to really create a story out of nothing"
P. Bowen is the hardest recruitment to figure out in my memory since following recruiting back to 2005 or so. To me, I'm like 55/45 he goes OU. That's hardly confident. Something he says later today or next week could make me 55/45 ND. That's about where most of the media is with it. Unless it's OU media, who imply that he's already committed to OU. Those guys are trolls.

Apparently Venables and Freeman are doing in home visits next week. I think that will seal the deal for one of them. If I was a betting man, I'd put my $ on Freeman to edge out OU in that fight. But OU also has their best class ever going right along with ours. Based on Venables inexperience, terrible season, regression, and OU's less than impressive education system, I am not sure exactly what he's selling besides BS.
One thing Bowen has to consider is that transferring away from ND is always a possibility. Transferring into ND is not a possibility, particularly at a mediocre institution like OU. We all know if he came to ND, he'd never transfer and he'd fall in love, but it's something he should consider none the less.

The positive, his mother is big on ND, and apparently his father is as well.
The rumors seem to very specific and he has not denied them. It is a 50:50 at best.
