Alex tweeted that he revealed it in the blog, however I can't access it at work. Can someone provide the details?

It was Mke Heuermann! He wavered a couple of times and almost flipped with Kelly was almost going to NFL. That is all!

Well considering he thanked me for letting him know and didn't ask for more I am assuming he just wanted to know the name.

No issue with you Chicago, I just selfishly wanted details. Thanks for the post.

The details are he almost came but then he didn't.

EDIT: Insert inappropriate jokes below.

Looks like you got "blasted" because you posted the same info several times.

Scarlet_Buckeye on 6 Feb 2013 - 12:07pm #

Because I was trying to direct reply to people's questions. People obviously weren't reading what I had posted. Sorry for trying to help.

Here's what Alex said in the live blog:

alex11w: Ok here we go:

The mystery flip is Mike Heuerman

As you know Mike made a very difficult decision back in April to commit to Notre Dame over OSU. He loved the Buckeyes, but when he went to ND things just felt right.

Many thought the Bucks would just let him go, but that was not the case. Heuerman was in constant contact with Mark Pantoni and was looking forward to his visit to Cbus for THE GAME, to see if a flip would be what he wanted.

Going into the visit Mike thought there was a good chance he could flip and Urban wanted him, but even though he had one of the best visits of his life, he still felt ND in his heart following the trip.

When Brian Kelly almost left for the NFL a week before he was supposed to enroll, Mike wasn't sure what he'd do, but of course it didn't matter in the end.

I know this may have seemed obvious but this one was VERY close to ending up with Mike as a Buckeye. He wants you all to know he'll always be a Buckeye and will root for the Bucks and his friends on the team---as long as he's not playing them!
