This... they probably just reaccomodated everyone on UA 2106 that departed first at 1:34 PM with plenty of empty seats itself.

And if OP got the delay notice from UA at 7 AM central, that means United knew the plane had an issue really early in the morning, so probably never even boarded a passenger or bag on 2327 at all.
