LB Moore Would Listen To Miami

Oct 19, 2012

2013 LB Skai Moore (University School) was a well-known recruit before the season started, but his personal success and the team's success has really made him a big-time recruit.

"I was working with my linebacker coach, Coach Johnson in the offseason to get stronger and improve my footwork. I also focused on my pre-play read so I could make some more plays."

With more than half of his team's season complete, Moore's stock has risen through the roof, as the Ohio State Buckeyes offered him last week.

"I'm taking the recruiting process pretty slow. I'm just trying to take all my visits and see whatever school is best for me, but it's definitely been a change with recruiting for me."

What schools are sticking out to Moore at the moment?

"Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Ohio State are the three I've kinda narrowed it down to. I was up at Vandy last weekend at it was a great trip. I got to see a lot that I hadn't seen in the summer during my first visit there and I was just hanging out with the coaches and players so it was a great overall trip."

The University of Miami is in need for linebackers for the 2013 class, but the coaches haven't reached out to Moore. Would the senior be willing to listen if the 'Canes came calling?

"Yeah, I'd definitely be interested in them. I thought I was going to get offered by them after the camp MVP performance, but I haven't really heard from them since then."

Moore has had his eye on Miami since he was young and that interest has carried on to now.

"It's the hometown team and I've loved them my whole life. The tradition that they have with winning and how they're trying to rebuild is something I like. I think I'd fit in there."

Waters is better than Cunningham. Not even close IMO.

Any updated film of Moore? Hard to argue with the poster who said boot Cornileus and Gaines off the team to make room. The same can be applied to Cunningham as well, as he's a better version of Waters imo, and Waters is far from the worst WR we have on the team.

Hard to argue? I can. You don't just boot kids off the team. I guess there are creative ways they can do it in a round-a-bout way. I know other coaches get away with it and nobody makes a deal of it, like Urban Meyer. IDK how he keeps the outrage down and out of the meida, but you know **** well when Miami tries to do that kids file law suits and go to ESPN and the whole shabang. ESPN will do an Oustide the Lines for us or some ****.

What makes you say that? To me Waters is a bit more explosive but Cunningham is better at setting up his routes and has better ball skills. Both will be possession guys imo but Cunningham can be a downfield threat because he can go airborne and make catches over defenders.

They're not Golden's recruits, and there are nice ways of recommending players to transfer. The big-time programs do this and thus consistently bring in massive classes.

Whether they are Goldens kids or not, kicking kids off the team is always a touchy subject. IMO, you never kick off a kid who's doing the right things off the field. Some of these have no business being here but its not their fault they were offered a schlorship.

Now, if a players is a RJr and is on track to graduate then you can advise them not to come back for their 5th year. To me, that's the only clean way to do it.

If I was a HS coach and you dropped one of my former players because you didn't evaluate him properly, you'd have a hard time getting another player from my school.

A lot of major programs have slick ways of getting kids to transfer. They essentially make a players life **** until he decides to explore other options. This is a classless move and should never happen @ UM

Excellent post Canadian. If we dont have class, how can we demand it from the players? Not everyone is a superstar, not everyone is going to the NFL. If they are good kids academically and chemistry wise, allow them to graduate with their degree.

I don't see Cunningham as a downfield threat because he won't be able to get much separation in college IMO. Waters is a better route runner than people give him credit for, is really smooth in and out of his breaks, and is a glider with the ball in his hands. He can turn a 5-yard slant into a big play

Not to mention Herb is getting PT this year. If anything, you would think people would be talking about Cunningham over Jones or Carter. Golden obviously sees big potential in Herb or he wouldnt be getting reps against fsu
