Not so surprising news... T.D. Moton has decommitted, per Twitter...

[Coach34]

Moton goes to the worst school in Shreveport- Woodlawn HS. It's similar to somewhere like Lanier HS in Jackson. The State Department may have to take over the school next year because the test scores are so bad. He actually has some decent coaches there but it's still an inner city school and they lack alot of things.

No telling how this recruitment is going to go.

Good reference, but that is a recruiting sites opinion (a recruiting site, by the way, run by a very good personal friend of mine).

A quote from Moton himself (?)
Moton, the No. 50-ranked player in 2015, said he is now considering Alabama, LSU, Florida State, Ole Miss and Florida and has no time frame to narrow down his choices.

Not pessimistic, but just forming an opinion based on the information available. I hope he ends up at MSU.

Pessimistic shit like this is why OM fans, as well as Talty, have so much fun messing with us. Just cause he decommited, doesn't mean we don't have a chance.

We'll see what happens with him, and I certainly hope we're still in the mix. The tides will probably shift several times between now and signing day next year.

But you do realize that the most recent words out of his own mouth carry more weight than what his 247 profile says, right? Since the 247 info is just based on his own words from further back?

These recruiting sites don't have ESP. They go on a recruit's words. So just because it lists us as 'warm' doesn't mean it's true.

Just by using logic, unless Hevesy got on the phone and chewed his ass out, it makes no sense that MSU would be out of it.

Just let it play out. The kid is probably under a tremendous amount of pressure after LSU lost those recruits in the Under Armour game. The LSU boosters are on a mission right now to make sure they never lose another in-state player that they want.

Moton is probably just lessening the pressure on himself. Just let it play out. LSU is pissed right now.

There's no sunshine to pump here. He decommited, and named 5 more schools as his choices.
