— Things have been awfully interesting surrounding the recruitment of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy four-star center / guard Greg Crippen. The 6-4, 285-pounder committed to Notre Dame back on March 27, 2019 following a spring visit to campus. He chose the Irish over offers from Alabama, Michigan, Duke, Boston College and many others. He returned to campus over the summer and worked out for the staff at camp. However, this past weekend, Crippen showed up on campus in Ann Arbor to watch Michigan in action. When asked about those travel plans and where things stand with his commitment, Crippen offered up no comment to clear up any confusion. That usually doesn’t bode well for the current team he’s committed to. My gut feeling on this situation is that Crippen doesn’t end up in Notre Dame’s 2021 class and I feel like it may be the best move for both parties.
