I'm bored today, and was wondering what people's guesses were for our silent commit? Personally I'd have to say it is Keontae Jones.
Silent commit guess?
- Thread starter Brandon
- Start date
I'll play along though and throw out a few names with ISU ties that would be homeruns (albeit unrealistic).
Matt Sichterman- Nebby OL commit who's brother is committed to ISU.
Amir Riep- OSU DB commit with an ISU offer that went to Colerain (same HS as DeShaunte/Keontae).
Chester Graves- uncommitted DE from KC. 4 star who had ISU listed as "warm" for awhile. I think he may be a non qualifier though.

I've asked every source inside the program I can think of this question over the last month. Nobody will budge. Hopefully that means it's a really big shocker!
I think Brian Eno is getting a little old for college football. And I didn't even know he played.
No clue.
My guess is that he still wanted to be recruited and didn't want anybody shying away with a commitment. But I have no idea really.
Through my advanced reading comprehension skills, I understand that a "silent commit" is someone who has committed, but the staff is silent about it.
However, someone want to help me with the "why" someone would silently commit?

It's not that the staff is silent about it (they aren't allowed to talk about specific recruit) It is the recruit itself who is silent - meaning he doesn't tell any of the recruitings sites, newspapers, announce on Twitter, etc.
He might have a deal at his school or something that he wants to have some suspense saved up for.
Maybe he wants to enjoy the signing day hoopla and have a ceremony in his HS gym. All that is more fun when people don't know where you're committed.
I've just heard it repeated here, I've never seen the original source. Who reported it it?
I believe Halstead reported it. CW may have as well. I do remember CMC tweeting about a commit that was a playmaker the same day the reports of the silent commit came out.
This guy just tweeted that we are in his final 4. The silent commit might be someone not even on our radar.
