    His twitter follows are heavily ND. Lots of commits.

    I know he had a great time & became friends with a lot of the commits at the Echoes Banquet.
    They strategically put all the commits with the other recruits in a room together during the banquet.
    Like i said, this morning I thought he was ND. Then Kyler informed the insiders that ND was sending Todd Lyght out to see him Thursday night after a conversation. So that makes me believe something happened. Then the insider intereviewed Kyler & says that even Kyler hasn’t decided yet, which is a big change from Sunday.
    I read his twitter as mostly positive for UW. Sure, he followed kids he was on a visit with - that's pretty normal. However, he followed Taimani too. He wasn't on a visit with him.

    I think it's a case where Kyler clearly loves the idea of going to Notre Dame, but in the end will that idea be enough? If he loved the IDEA of Notre Dame and hated the IDEA of UW, I think he would already be committed to ND. I think Lyght will try to persuade him to do just that on Thursday night. If he's successful, Kyler won't take the UW visit. If he isn't, Kyler will and I think ND will be almost out of it.

    The key here is that his parents will go with him to UW. That will be hard to overcome.

    ND knows this and that's why they are trying to get him in front of Lyght and to not take that visit.
    You moving the percentage we get him up from 20 to the 50 range given this?

    To add onto what Dennis was saying ... I’d argue the ND Alumni Network has a greater community to it than the UW community ... if your desire is to eventually live outside of Seattle.

    From a football standpoint, UW is likely better ... unless you are super fearful of Lake leaving.

    For me, the deal breaker would be living in South Bend during the Winter ... yikes.

    I would put it at 51 now.

    Not until he visits. I honestly think they might be able to stop him from visiting. I think if he visits, we are 50/50. I think it's 50/50 whether he visits (after the talk with Lyght, not right now), so that's about 25%.

    I think it's more like a 25% chance they keep him from visiting and a 75% chance he's ours if he does visit. So 50%.

    But I like our visitors 51%.
