You mean the same guys that a bunch on here blasted for getting the number of signees wrong on early signing day?Quote:

There have been concerns he may decommit for months.
Joe coached like he was doing the bird box challenge this year haQuote:

Add on top that it's been mentioned often that he enjoys the attention and drumming up drama so this may end up being much to do about nothing.
There is no reason to think this staff doesn't work their tail of on recruiting when compared to the previous staff. Multiple people from multiple angles mention how much better they are at this than Mullen's crew. Also universally mentioned that Joe is much better with kids and families than Don was so I'm waiting to pass final judgement until the ink is dry in Feb.
Regardless I don't think anything that happens is a result of the staff dropping the ball.
So you think he's gone for good?Quote:

So did the QB and receivers.Quote:

2) The idea that we have 4* DL "beating down our door" is laughable. Yes we have some on campus, but we have just as many 3* because no more 4* wanted ot come. And this year if Moor doens't sign with us, we'll fill his spot with a 3* because no 4* is beating down or door. This loss hurts.
3) There's a very real possibility this is for $$$ and publicity. He's been saying he'd flip to every team and reporter he can find, that's something you do for attention even if you have doubts about State. Most player keep it to themselves a lot more than he has. Being uncommitted will net him a lot more attention and probably $$$.
4) those in the know seem to be implying he's after $$$ and Auburn is dishing it out. This crap is the real reason we'll never be Bama, LSU, Auburn, or even A&M over time. We can hire smart and beat them some but never consistently.
This is no different than Lovett the past recruiting cycle guys, somebody needs to make contact and make him feel appreciated. The good thing is that he's not considering the Sharks so there won't be much dust up either way after the Feb signing date. I saw him play twice this past season and I feel that he's very raw and will benefit from a RS year. He's way too cocky and took too many plays off but the ability is sure there. Whomever is currently in his ear is probably telling him that he can play as a true freshman which is a mistake on his part.
It was expected. You must not listen to Rosebowl. He didn't come out and SAY it, but you could read it in his voice and the way he worded it. This was weeks ago.Quote:

This is why I hate our damn fans... 4 pages of damn freakouts when we still have a chance to get him. Why do we need anyone else to recruit against us when we tear our own recruits up...
That's because the people recruiting him were being told only what they wanted to hear. It happens with a handful of prospects every recruiting cycle.Quote:
