    It depends who you listen to. If you listen to the ND guys, he's a lock because he visited ND. If you listen to Roof or Ecklund, they are both saying that sources say he's a UW lock. Roof says that he's visiting UW on the 15th I believe.

    I’m not sure who the ND or UW guys are you are referring to, so I will put down the 1:15 ET update, after the conversation that was had after the completion of Kyler’s visit to ND.

    I will copy & paste it, so it is word for word:

    “ADDITIONAL NOTE: Talked to another source on this, and it sounds like things went really with Gordon as far as spending time with the current commits and bonding with them. Gordon is a quiet kid, no question, but we were told he was really interacting with the current commits well, and they treated him like he was alreyady part of the class. Really like where ND stands here.”

    Also, his mother said the following about his trip to ND alone this time:

    “It’s time for him to go and hang out with the boys and get some more bonding time.......and for him to get any additional clarity he is seeking."

    As for him visiting UW next week, I asked about that & the insider contacted his friend who works for UW Rivals & was told no visit was scheduled yet.

    There seems to be very conflicting messages being put out there, which is surprising because Kyler doesn’t do many interview at all, so when he does everyone hears the same thing, so not sure why UW & ND people seem so different on their opinions?

    I don’t know Roof or Ecklund personally, but I haven’t seen where they said Kyler was a UW lock? I haven’t seen any ND people say he is a ND lock either?

    Loy basically said that if Kyler canceled his ND visit, then he'd be going to UW. But if he made the trip to ND, then he would go to ND. Roof and Ecklund are the recruiting "experts" for the UW sites. Both have been adamant that UW leads and that they expect him to commit to UW even after knowing that he was taking the trip to ND. This is based on their local sources. Both Loy and Roof say that he will be visiting UW still before his decision on the 17th.

    UW needs to set up camp in front of his house. Use proximity to your advantage. I am talking stage-five clinger type shit. Get it done!

    Per Eklund, he didn't commit to ND and will officially visit UW next week. Also gives one of those "UW is in a great spot for him but I wouldnt be surprised if he picks ND" comments

    I asked my guys about this & I think they are getting pissed at me since I keep asking...

    They say that Gordon was never going to commit while in South Bend, as stated before, he is committing on his birthday, the 17th. He keeps his conversations with coaches private so no one (including them or Eklund) knows if he verballed or not while there.
    It was always his plan to visit UW last regardless of his decision. The other players/recruits on the visit with him say he acted as if he was going to be their teammate though.

    So I probably should leave them alone since they have made it clear to me three times now the same things even though I keep asking.

    One final tidbit I found amusing was that I got asked (in a snarky, smartass way) if Eklund is so confident, why no Crystal Ball, then why change his view from a “lock” to “wouldn’t be surprised?”
    I said “fair enough” & told them I would leave it be for now.
