Anybody see DD Bowie's twitter post? I am assuming this is just the old "flip our own commit" thing that they do every year but should I not be so quick to assume?

Unless he decommits and eliminates them from his options and actually signs somewhere else, then the assumption is they are flipping their own comittment again. They have very little movement in recruiting and they are trying every tactic, including this same old one to create recruiting movement.

It would be pretty shocking if he signs somewhere other than OM.

I thought this might be a "flip our own recruit to drum up some PR" but wanted confirmation I guess.

This is just stupid in my opinion. If you are committed, why put out a list of finalists? They probably want to count him twice toward their final ranking since he will "commit" twice.

He's a rebel through and through. He's just building hype and getting attention.

He's a 17-18 year old kid and either

A) Wants some attention (Understandable with this generation)
B) Was told to do it by the Bears for PR purposes. Those recruiting headlines are running pretty dry for them right now since they are ranked in the 50s and are holding out hope they can sign Akers.

If by some miracle we can swing Bowie like we did Leo in '15 and Simmons in '16, then look out. They may get VERY desperate and will hit a low that they haven't seen since they were 2-10 with Nutt. I am not holding my breath at all on this one though.

Why in the world would a good athlete with any other option sign with them this year? Terrible guidance from someone I guess.

Shay Hodge has some relation to him (cousin I think).
