"From what I have been told, he is no longer coming to LSU," recruiting expert Michael Scarborough of Rivals.com/TigerBait.com said Monday night. "He wants to come to LSU, but his mother (Aleta Kiel) got very emotional Monday and did not want her son to leave. He plans to enroll in classes at Notre Dame on Tuesday."
quote:MaxPreps summary
Hours before classes begin at Notre Dame, Gunner Kiel's recruitment took yet another turn, this time toward the Irish.
Rumors swirled Monday evening that Kiel, one of the top quarterback recruits in the country, had decommitted from LSU, only weeks after he decommitted from Indiana.
A University staff member has confirmed to The Observer that Kiel is expected to be living in O'Neill Hall by the end of the week. The staff member remained anonymous because the staff member was not authorized to discuss specific students and their enrollments.
Kiel's sudden, 11th-hour switch to Notre Dame came just before classes for the spring semester began Tuesday morning.
quote:Speculation is that Kiel's family wanted him to stay closer to home. At this point very few facts are known.
It looks like Gunner Kiel will be Irish after all.
The nation's No. 2 recruit and top quarterback committed to LSU shortly after Christmas, but has spurned the Tigers at the 11th hour, enrolling at Notre Dame, according to the school's newspaper, The Observer.

Well there it is. Can't do much about that, just shitty timing, and we lost 2 recruits out of the deal. O well, moving on

I understand his dilemma, but how do you allow yourself to take another recruits scholarship, force him to go to another school, and then say nevermind I don't want it after all. Just a little shitty in my opinion.

thats the stance im taking. a recruit is a recruit. there are thousands of them. one doesnt mean shite. but the way he took another EEs spot then bolted is shitty

I wonder what Patrick thinks about this. Is it too late for him to come back?

All signs point to no. A change of heart is understandable, but this seems pretty chickenshit. I don't believe he just woke up yesterday and decided to enroll at ND.

The same reason Tommy Tubberville's character should be fair game

This is disappointing but look a the time line here. LSU was late in the game on him. He's only been committed about 3 weeks? Mom and Dad were probably never happy with it. South Bend is much closer to home than BR, and Uncle was a Qb there for 4 years.
Some kids actually follow their parents wishes. While I think he would have had a better career at LSU, he's possibly happier if football fails at ND. Also I think Brian Kelly is a shitty coach, a complete a-hole, and will be out of the job in 2-3 more years.

Because switching schools last minute after what he said when he committed shows bad character. But, people don't know how to say these things eloquently on here.

This! I completely agree.

Only issue I have is that he took Miller's spot. If kid was having second thoughts he should have made LSU aware.

Hopefully Les can find a decent QB that wants to be a part of this class
