'23 MI QB Dante Moore (Greek Spaghetti Transfer)

[ulukinatme]

Excuse me, but I’m 40, pretty sure Ulk, LAX and Jigga are all around there too.

Did you just assume my age, bro?!

.....yeah, I'm 40...

What I'm gonna do? Just all of a sudden spend my days posting on a CFB message board like some lame ass middle-aged dude? Come on, I'm not that old yet.

Yeah, I'm 40.

I think it will be awhile before Loy even wants to mention Dante again. He's been getting cooked pretty good over on the 247 boards all week. His responses just sound exhausted at this point.

Loy gonna Loy. People thought he was getting better over time, I'm not so sure.

 

[laughingirish90]

Committed to Oregon. Glad that's over.

you mean we don't have to worry about this thread adding another 100 pages or so lol

 

[Blazers46]

Imagine... one day this thread will get buried like all the rest of them.

100? I am sure this thread gets to 5,000 by the end of the month.

wisdom doesn't always come with age,...........

You're too young to know.

At the end of the day I'll take CJ Carr and his recruiting over Dante any day of the week. CJ Carr is ready to build both classes 2023 and 2024 and I strongly believe he ends up reclassifying.

 

[ulukinatme]

Called this one back in March. Never should have gone all in, he just didn't feel like an ND guy. We'll be fine though, even if Carr doesn't reclassify. It's going to take a year or two for this new talent to grow, and Freeman may have some growing pains. I fully expect it'll be 2024 at least before things takeoff, at which point Carr will be here. 2023 could happen too if we get the defense shored up quickly and the young reveivers catch on fast.

They weren't "all in". He literally committed to ND. What should they have done? They gave him about two months to prove his commitment. He didn't follow through, then they DID move on (Carr). It's not similar to Amorion. They didnt't "hang on" too long. It was a couple of months.

Impeccable timing. Preach MF

RIP '23 MI QB Dante Moore, the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 161 pages of heated debate.

Good point. This is what should be pitched to other QB recruits too. He committed and then screwed us for a bigger bag. We had no choice but to stop recruiting others.

 

[PutuporShutup]

i feel like i need to post on this thread to post on this thread.

If a QB won't commit to your school early publicly, move on. QBs are so huge to building classes.

THat's my only problem here, why did moore ever want to not publicly commit? Immediately i would have been involved with next, while still recruiting him.

Yep.
Theorhettically, the CV, AJ, JA type of recruits could even be swung back because of this angle (won't happen imo)

He silently committed in February. Then plan was public in April. That is when all the dominoes were still up. That is NOT holding on too late. That is a reasonable commitment timeline...

Isn’t it just as likely that he did want to commit but because he told MF that he still wanted to take OVs MF told him to hold off? Nico gets a bag and then all hell breaks loose?

Nope. But unless CJ is dead set on reclassifying, I would go ape shit after
all of the committed top quarterbacks.

On Dante Moore

On Friday, Detroit (Mich.) King five-star quarterback Dante Moore committed to Oregon over scholarship offers from Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas A&M, LSU and many, many others from across the country. This is a massive win for the Ducks. With this recruitment over, I wanted to share some thoughts...

247sports.com

 

[Dale]

Loy shares his thoughts there. It’s nothing groundbreaking but outlined what he was willing to share.

 

[Dale]

My thoughts are that the piece defended Moore more than defended Loy which I guess is commendable on human level but I don’t get why still it is necessary. Don’t particularly care how much Loy personally likes Moore if he’s not a future ND QB.

 

[Irish#1]

MF won't let something like this happen again.

 

[Irish#1]

This is the biggest line of BS I've read in a while. Tom, your readers are the ones that pay for the subscription and are here year after year. These kids come and go. It's not like you follow them to the NFL or into the business career.

I said if he didn't want me to put a pick in, I wouldn't. I care more about the relationship with these guys than just throwing a pick in, even a VIP one, especially when I know it's going to immediately be pulled onto all social media platforms and made free, which I can't really do anything about.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Is Eugene Oregon known for any specific type of cuisine? Time to get back on track here.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Yeah
I get Tom wants to stay on the good side of recruits. He has to kiss some butt. But this read like a lover letter. You can be professional with kids, while still treating your subscribers as the #1 audience.

Yeah, that timeline works. Did we go "next" in April when he didn't? Curious when staff got the feeling this was at risk for not happening.

I know Carr committed early June.

 

[BigHossBU]

Yeah, Tom comes off like an EJ Holland-like fan boy in his Dante article.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Also, Tom quadrupling down on Dante wanting to win a title and that Dante is going to Oregon for that.

Does Tom know how many titles Oregon has won?

I know people don’t like Driskell & IB, but if you want the goods, the full story, with no holding back, go read his 20 paragraph summary of the Dante recruitment.
