Chris Tyree- Irish or Sooner?
Make no bones about it, its pretty well documented that Chris Tyree is a must get recruit for Notre Dame.
He announced today that he is making his verbal on Thursday May 23rd (@3).
This could be the "Changing of the Guards" meaning ND finally breaks in with a skill recruit that touches the ball more than 10 times a game and is a true speedster/difference maker.. or a case of "The Rich getting Richer" w/ Oklahoma receiving the verbal and they continue to land track star after track star.
ND has everything except killer speed, this is the one thing holding them back from joining the Top Tier (Clemson & Bama). If you want to win a Title.. you need kids like this.
Wanted to talk about the timeline of this recruitment a little bit and see where everyone stands with the past logistics/feelings on where he will end up (ND or Oklahoma).
a. Tyree was an early ND lean after his visit (I believe this summer).
b. It wasn't until his Oklahoma visit last month that people started having serious doubts about him ending anywhere except South Bend.
c. He excited that visit stating Oklahoma was now his clear leader, and even admitted that he almost committed on the spot.
d. At that point, it was obviously seen that Oklahoma would secure his commitment (just a matter of time) .... until a few weeks went by. In those few weeks nothing (that I am aware of) happened, yet all the Crystal Ball Predictions started favoring Notre Dame again, heavily.
He talked about sticking to his official visit date in June to ND, which helps me understand the favorable standing of ND with all the recruiting experts at that point
BUTTTTTT....Per Tyree today, he is committing end of May, therefore will NOT be taking that visit to ND as previously planned.
All experts still seem to think he is coming to Notre Dame.
On paper I just don't get it. Actually, on paper everything seems to be pointing in an extremely favorable direction for Oklahoma.
What am I missing here? Anyone know or hear anything that I haven't? What do y'all think? Notre Dame or Oklahoma?
Go Damn Irish!!

This kid looks awesome I fear that I'm getting too hopeful. I pray that the crystal ball is correct.

Unfortunately thinking he is OU bound...
Had an Official on June 23rd that he was going to cancel, then kept, and now is announcing before the visit....

Re: Unfortunately thinking he is OU bound...
247 Crystal Ball keeps going up in ND's favor.
Was like 59% 3 days ago.
Now its 80% to Notre Dame. Sounds like Oklahoma was fun, but Notre Dame is the favorite.

The buzz from the recruitniks is that he's going to announce for ND before the official visit date.
I'm not saying that is correct, but that is what the crystal ball crowd is saying.

Wasn't that "before" his tweet today about announcing? I noticed the crystal ball as well, but he just announced today so curious if the "CB" swings back to OU

Since Tyree announced his commitment date, five crystal ball predictions went up for ND
There have been six since May 10th. Six for six, all coming from guys who aren’t on the Notre Dame beat. The conventional wisdom is he’s committing to Notre Dame, but this is recruiting so you never know.

No.
After. The percentage favoring ND went up on 247 after Tyree set the announcement date, which he actually put out on twitter yesterday.

Hope so!
Not counting on anything until it is a done deal. The “experts” have been wrong plenty.

Seems like ND would be a great place for him to rise on the roster more quickly than OU or Bama.
Plus, O-Line should be in good shape for him.

Could he have, dare I say it, Rocket speed?
