'23 MI QB Dante Moore (Greek Spaghetti Transfer)

Nico Iamaleava's $8m NIL deal was announced in early April. I wonder if that deal isnt announced until the summer if Dante is a ND commit right now.

I'm glad it didn't play out that way. Had Dante actually announced his commitment publicly, the odds of us getting burned badly go up significantly.

And then bails

Driskell says that Moore was a silent ND commit in February, and the plan was to go public in April.

(Maybe this isn't news, I haven't followed the whole episode closely.)

In hindsight, I recall when Iamaleava's announcement went down, I thought to myself "Oh shit. This changes things."

Philly makes a really good point here and it ties back to what Tusker posts about what Driskell is saying. The timing here can't be coincidence.
Then you put Carr into the mix.

Yep. If he'd decommitted at any point, it would've done some damage to this class.

BREAKING: Five-star QB Dante Moore commits to Oregon

Oregon lands a five-star and one of the best quarterbacks in the 2023 class in Detroit King's Dante Moore. He spoke to 247Sports and explained why the Ducks were the choice.

t.co

Isn't this kind of why Reggie Bush lost his Heisman trophy? Huh. How times have changed

 

[Dale]

I could only find this one, but isn’t there one where the staff and beat was clapping when he arrived? All time cringe video in retrospect now if anyone can find it.

 

[du Lac]

Impeccable timing. Preach MF

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Interesting timing by Freeman....

 

[Luckylucci]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the timing was not a coincidence

 

[NDPhilly]

Interesting timing by Freeman....

Yeah not a fan of a HC subtweeting a 17 year old. Freeman more or less only tweets about commits. Almost 100% is related.

 

[du Lac]

What clown in the media is going to criticize MF now for that one. He’s got a recruiting class he has to maintain and he needs to remind his commits why they are committed. The Moores also burned him. I think it’s reasonable and honestly, recruiting doesn’t stop after a commitment. He’s still recruit Dante. This is simply a reminder to everyone that education matters, including Dante. It ain’t over until it’s over. I would like to see MF move on though, but I think this means he’s not quitting on Dante.

At first, when I was at home, I looked up on my maps and it was a 35-hour drive and I was like 'holy moly' but of course, nobody's going to drive there," Moore said. "When I went for my official visit, I went from Detroit to Salt Lake and Salt Lake to Eugene, so it was a three-way flight, but now they found a way for you to go from Detroit to Portland, Portland to Detroit, Portland to anywhere to be honest, and it's only an hour and a half away from campus, so that's not really a big problem. NIL, of course, is going to help cover a lot of the flying, a lot of the moving you need with your family, so I'm really appreciative of NIL.

In honor of me going out and saying he'd never come here months ago,... anyone got an albondigas soup recipe with extra-large balls???

I hope it's coincidental. Subtly calling out a kid on his commitment day should be beneath him.

Or he’s still recruiting him 😮

You think Freeman got Plies to make and post that video yesterday so he could QT it today? Seems like a stretch

Well…….

I vote for attempting to try and make the CJ Carr thread bigger than this one.

To do that I am gonna have to deep dive into my mac and cheese recipe. It involves two boxes of michaelinas, two microwaves, and it tastes like shit.

 

[arndtjc]

He's Irish. We just need to wait a little longer..

Time to make Sea Turtle soup and drop the ban hammer

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Kenny Dillingham has coached whom, Bo Nix?

Whoa, whoa slow down; Nix had a couple good quarters at Auburn.

I don’t think there is a video that was ever posted. But it was mentioned by most of the beat writers.

People forget we literally built a gold bar thrown for him lmao

...but they didn't let him keep it...

At the end of the day it was all about the money with this kid too bad no ones going to even see this kid play on national TV because who stays up past 10:00 on a Saturday to watch Oregon play.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

"Game of Throwns" is what they should have called QB1.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Now that this fiasco is over, looking forward to seeing what the ND staff will do next regarding 2023/24 QB options (knowing that Carr is already in the fold).
