And pointing out that a 5* QB like himself would be the pinnacle of ND NIL money. He’d certainly set the record.

Reading that 247 piece we had better land Moore because none of those other kids are going to Notre Dame.

In a sense, in hindsight that is, isn't all recruitment a waste of time if a player doesn't come to your school?

Tate has ties to the midwest. He is about his brand, a lot of kids are right now. It'll help with NIL. He is going to do what he can to get attention, plain and simple. It is what it is.

Recruiting in general is a phenomenal waste of time. Would drive me insane, if I were an assistant coach at a big-time college football program, to have to endlessly pursue these high school hotshots (at the expense of time spent developing my actual current players, or, like, with my family), most of whom I will not ultimately land. It's why a lot of coaches go to the NFL and never come back.
But it's also the lifeblood of your program. So...

As for Tate, say what you will about the kid but we should be in on every elite recruit from Chicago who displays any interest at all. You pursue them until they say no. That's our backyard.

Zero 5 star WR that is giving ND even the time of day, much less Tate’s interest, is a waste of time. Especially in the portal era.

I just hope he doesn't make it to Ohio State next week. They scare me.

Looking forward to his commitment quotes. I'll be absolutely ecstatic if this is a commitment and full shutdown. I'll be somewhere between lukewarm to bummed if we close down QB recruiting for a QB that's going to keep taking visits.

Everything out of Moore's mouth lately has suggested he wants to pick the right school for him and wrap this up. Hopefully that's the next thing out of his mouth too.

I’ve been in nervously optimistic mode ever since Vizzina’s visit cancellation. Will be happy when/if I’m wrong about Vizzina vs Moore chances.

Also just realizing today he hasn’t visited since the fall, I’m officially in conspiracy of secret visit mode. It seems unlikely they could gain so much steam without any visits till now

Tbh the NIL value of being the quarterback at the Lady of the Lake is basically as high as it gets. How much money would Brady Quinn have made? My mom still talks about the "prettyboy" QB from fifteen years ago and recognizes him on the TV during the pregame and halftime shows. And my mom is....a simple woman.

This is why I posted the article before because that's not the case. This from last weekend.


“This is a one-time process, so I'm trying to enjoy it all and take it all in,” Moore said. “I'm not going to post any top schools. I'm probably going to commit before the season so I will be focused on the season. I'm going to take all my officials and probably after my officials I'll probably call it a day.”

Now he could just be telling people what they want to hear so they leave him alone but the point of my post was depending on the answer to the question of visits or not, will determine how excited I am about this when he goes public with his commitment.

He also could be sensing that people know he is going to ND so want to send out some smoke. Dante seems like he wants this over but also wants to have his moment and make a commitment. He can have both!

Hasn't he just visited a bunch of schools in recent weeks? I guess they weren't OVs? That was the comment I was thinking of, which I read as "I'm looking around right now, taking my visits, making sure. But when I commit I'm committed."
Obvs if he commits to Notre Dame and then schedules a bunch of OVs that's a different story.
