It’s not so much that.

It’s the fact that they quite literally stopped recruiting Chris Vizzina because of Moore. ALL of their eggs are in the Moore basket; if they don’t land him, this will be Will Shipley x100.

I have no idea where they would look if they strikeout, once again, on an elite QB.

I'd also say that if they don't land him or a top QB over the next few cycles then Rees will be out of a job. Everyone else is pulling their weight in recruiting. It's time for Rees to do his fair share.

It’s hard not to compare recruiting to relationships… but best case scenario is Moore is like that girl a month before her wedding getting a free meal and a f&ck from every guy on her phone contact list just to make sure. Just hoping the marriage can last at least 3 years before parting ways.

There’s really no chance Rees is “out of a job”. The closest thing to that would be he has to take a NFL job.

Just browsing past action in recruiting threads by posts and views

Tee Sheppard - Over 3k posts and 554k views

DaVonte Neal - 4k posts / 813k views
Aaron Lynch - 3k posts / 581k views
E Golson - 5k posts / 732k views
Blake Barnett - 3k views / 573 views

Keep in mind a lot of those posts and views came after they signed

2023 most action - Dante Moore - Almost 2k posts / 256k views.... Carnell Tate in 2nd
2022 most action - Amaron Walker and CJ Williams
2021 most action - Tyler Buchner and Will Shipley

Dante is going to break Irish Envy.
I posted this earlier this month as it relates to post counts. He’s approaching Darby, Tee, Barnett and Lynch waters… and it sounds like he has about 3000 visits left before he decides.

Whether he lands Moore or not, Rees won’t be here much longer. I’d bet good money this is his last season in South Bend as an OC.

I thought Buchner was that guy? At least he was before he got on campus. lol

Absolutely, Buchner was a top 10 QB by three services. If the argument is "Rees needs to develop a top QB" then that can be made, but Buchner was a damn good recruit.

This X 1,000. This is something we should expect to see more and more. Not everyone will do it. But there is "value" in building suspense, gaining followers, gaining engagement. If I were his agent, this is exactly what I would tell him to do.

Side note - Not directing this at Dante, but more of a general thought. I understand the need to have agents given complexities. But holy hell, is there any greater indictment of where we sit as a country where pimping out advising 18-22 year old's on social media hits is an actual profession? I feel like in 30 years there is going to be a documentary about all of this and everyone will look back and wonder "what the hell were they thinking?".
NFL free agency is short and quick. The draft is over a few days… recruiting was already hard over a few years. Now it’s harder with and more complex with NIL. College recruiting has to be the most insane aspect of sports. Something needs to give. NFL teams don’t really touch college players until they are drafted. It would be great to see something similar. Wish they wouldn’t open recruiting until that recruiting has his first day of senior classes in HS. Will never happen but the sport just seems to be getting nastier than my local trap house. Pimps, whores, dealers… the whole bit.

Boy ain't that the truth. Man gets a lot of love as a recruiter from the talking heads for someone who doesn't have the results.

I'd be a fan of a separate locked Dante thread that was bumped anytime there was actual news and then discussed in here.
Reminds me of when Koon earnestly asked the mods to create a locked thread titled "Koon's Quick Hits" in which only he could post. Ya know, for the enterprising "IE poster-on-the-go" who doesn't have time to sort through memes, jokes and shit-posts. That guy needs to have his NDFB news boiled down to the bare facts so he can consume it efficiently between reading the WSJ and eating his avocado toast for breakfast while his driver tries to get him to the office on time.

We must be talking about a different Koon, unless this one you are referring to has his driver going to local high schools to check out physiques...

Did you tell him they could have gone to his profile and looked at his most recent posts if they were that impressed with his football acumen?
