Interesting development. Rondale Moore almost committed to Texas this weekend. What, did tOSU stop recruiting him?

Who's Rondale Moore?

UPDATE: LOL, we're not giving a shit about the 43rd ranked WR in the nation. Have at him, bud.

From what I heard it is a numbers thing. OSU likes him at the slot, but the plan is to take only 2-3 WRs. Obviously they are looking at the outside WRs first and if numbers work out later they will press at the slot. I would bet that 43 number doesn't hold up. The kid only played 4 games last year (Just the playoffs) . He wasn't even top 500 in March. Kid crushed it at a camp and then scouts started to look. He is #16 now on 247. He will be in the discussion for top slot WR in the country by years end. Now that won't get him top 5 in WR rankings, because the proto-type outside guys will fill the top spots, but his on-field college value maybe equal or greater

Tavion Thomas and Bryson Jackson expected to commit to Oklahoma any time now. Thomas isn't ranked super high but I love this dude's film. Considered a heavy Ohio state lean.

Boom!

Check that offer list. Dude needs to fix those horns though.

I think a lot of schools backed off due to the fact Dunbar and DPS are in major hot water for multiple transgressions (throwing a football game, repeatedly lying about grades to name a couple). I hear that there is uneasiness around Dayton that what's been found is just the tip of the iceberg. Even if they may not involve the actual player himself, still a situation a lot of schools don't even want to get near.

Dayton Public Schools fined, reprimanded for alleged game-fixing incident

ADs, principal, coach missed Dunbar eligibility issue

Thought he was WVU bound so kind of shocking he chose OU.

Major talent though, as long as he comes out clean in all the Dayton area mess.

Strange one. At 1 time people thought he was an OSU lock. There were whispers of grade issues, but your links make sense to why people backed off

@Across The Field this is what Urban saw and couldn't shut up about:


Was obsessed with him. He is the guy who inspired him to get him back into coaching. He'd laugh, but I've heard it multiple times. This game. Made him wanna coach again.

 

[Brasky]

Look like 4.25 or nah?

Actually no, that doesn't look like 4.25

He might not have been running full speed tho

Being involved in a game fixing scandal may have caused the cooling in those offers.

A similar thing was said about Tom Osborne and Joe Germaine when he was at OSU. He saw what Germaine did against Arizona State in the Rose Bowl and said "Yeah, I'm never coming back. No way I wanna face that kid."

Never heard of him. If he held an offer from Texas it wasn't committable. Texas has only pursued one RB in this class, Keontay Ingram.

Offers are becoming a worthless thing. An offer today is basically just an introduction. Kids collect them and coaches are adapt at not making them binding. It has become a joke

I don't think that was ever substantiated. Snead, Gill, White, and Teague were all much higher on the board, among others. There was mutual interest but I never actually heard that he was considered a heavy favorite. I think people assume that since he's an Ohio boy. Hopefully he works out, he is a bulldozer.

 

[gobigred]

I think the Cameron Brown offer was a good indication of "moving on" from Moore. The talk of mutual interest didn't really last very long so who knows how serious it really was. If we end up taking a 3rd "slot" type WR it will be Brown, but I don't see how they fit him in if everything else goes according to plan.

Herman knows what he wants to do and gets after that. His kind of intensity and work ethic will make it hard for him to ever really fail.

Must not have room for Cameron Brown or he changed mind. Got a Wiltfong CB this morning

Bunch of CB's for 4* WR Joseph Scates to Ou.
