This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Dallas Turner, #44 overall in 2021 class, St Thomas Aquinas by MrE

Looks like he's committing to Alabama in a couple hours.

Mike Elston got around to offering him 28 days ago, apparently in reaction to #335 overall David Abiara's news of likely decommitting and committing to OU.

Turner is an elite DE with strong grades from a program with which ND has history...and Elston and staff didn't even bother to recruit him.

An excerpt from a recent interview with Turner (247 Sports):

"One of the coaches (Director of Recruiting Aaryn Kearney) had been in touch with me since my freshman year,” said Turner. “He got in touch not too long ago again and he was touching base with me and asking about my grades. I showed him I had a 4.0 GPA. The defensive line coach (Mike Elston) texted me later on that day and then they gave me the offer."
