Ankeny, IA.
I was being serious, I havent read any talk of that from Blair or Kakert at Rivals so was genuinely curious if there was something out there talking about it.
His offer list is weird to me for a 4 star from Big Ten country. Where is Mich, Mich St, NW, etc?

Even Kentucky, WV, and VT aren't too far.

Just seems odd.

DJ isn't a take for ND because he has been a known Iowa kid for about a month now. He wanted to make it offficial on his mom's birthday, but ND has known for while he wasn't going there, so they have moved on. Everyone knows this and that is why All the Crystal balls went to Iowa in the middle of July.

I really don't want to have a back and forth with you on this, but the bold doesn't make sense. If ND still wanted him, he'd be a take for them no matter what direction he was leaning.

DJ wasn't a "no take" when he told them a month ago he was going to Iowa. This has been done for a long time now. Trying to give me info today about a kid who already told ND he wasn't going there is completely irrelevant.

The Big 12 has more ranked teams than the Big 10 in the AP poll that just came out while having 4 less teams. That is not a joke.

Really. Anyone can make an announcement like that.

For example, tomorrow at 11am I'm announcing my commitment and it will be between my YMCA basketball team and the Golden State Warriors. Stay tuned!

If this was true (it isn't) and I was ND, I would just come out 30 minutes before his announcement and state that the ND scholarship offer is no longer an option. Too often these kids make these type of pointless announcements.

So who is this kid a take for besides Iowa if ND doesn't want him? I mean who is most likely to poach him if he wants to take other visits? Indiana or Purdue?

Sounds like ND has been turning up the heat on DJ. They really need CBs, had another 4 star committed but he decommitted last month. DJ is the highest rated CB on their board who has them high on his list. Hoping we land him but not counting the Irish out.

Read it at an ND site. Pretty obvious though, they have zero CBs committed, they need CBs, and he's the highest rated guy they've offered who has them listed that high, not to mention he's in their backyard.

Which site?

Two actually. Articles are from end of June, I'm sure you can find them. Where are links that ND wouldn't take him? Would be weird since they have no CBs committed, are in big need of CBs, have a 4-star in their backyard who lists them in his top-2, and they wouldn't take him. Would think there'd be something concrete on that. I'm sure it's not just wishful thinking and butthurtedness over Iowa landing a 4-star kid. Couldn't be.

You're talking about articles from June when it's been reported and confirmed by a Hawkeye fan that he hasn't been a take for ND for over a month. Lol cmon man.

Wait... You do realize that your own guy was the one claiming this, right?

You guys might want to huddle up and make sure you're on the same page.
