Moore's flip to UCLA is, IMO, a win for both parties, at least from the standpoint of maximizing the potential for both setting each other up for the most success. It makes sense why Moore cooled on Oregon. Not only did his primary recruiter to Oregon (Kenny Dillingham) bail for the head coaching job at Arizona State, but Ducks QB Bo Nix just announced he’s returning to Oregon for another year. On top of all that Chip Kelly’s half decade of patient development with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, more of an athletic project than a ready-made QB, puts Moore in the right hands to start right away. CK started DTR since 2018 as a true freshman.

yeah and how'd that workout for UCLA and DTR? They went 3-9 and DTR was 1-7 as a true frosh. 4-7 the next year. 2-3 the COVID year. 8-3 last year and about to be 9-4 this year after their who gives a sh*t bowl presented by Big Lots bowl game.

UCLA is going to stink next year. Moore is going to get broken in half. A lot of these 5* kids have wayyyyyy to high opinions of themselves. He's not going to be a savior of a craptastic program as an 18 year old true frosh. He'd be better off going somewhere where he can learn the system for a year and have a 1-year stop gap guy ahead of him. UCLA isn't going to get anyone of note in the portal and their recruiting class was ranked 30th last year and it's 22nd right now in '23 but before they got Moore it was rated in the 30's. UCLA is 61st in "Team Talent Composite Rankings".... not great. He's the #3 player overall in the 2023 class so it made their 2023 class jump up that much. It takes a village. Not one 18 year old snot nosed entitled kid who thinks he's the sh*t and wants to be handed a starting job day one. UCLA losing lots of guys to NFL/graduation, they'll take a step back for sure and their defense is probably going to suck....again.

but, is he a football player?

good ?

take now. figure out later imo.

5* #1 OT Kayden Proctor from the great state of Iowa just flipped his commitment from Iowa to Alabama. That kid was being penciled in as a day one starter at tackle for Iowa. Cade probably not happy about this.

I have always looked at player averages to form an opinion about recruiting.  Not total committed.   

In that regard I am extremely pleased with Ohio State’s 2023 recruiting class as they ranked third and player average behind only Alabama and Georgia.  And/ that could improve tomorrow. 

I’m also glad they are very selective about taking players from the transfer portal. Guys like Trey sermon, Jonah jackson, Tanner McAllister, who have come in and contributed right away but didn’t really piss off the existing players because they knew it was a position of need.

I think it’s risky business to take on a bunch of transfer players, as it surely cannot sit well with existing players on the team.  It might be short term gain for long-term pain.

He might prove me wrong, but for as much as I thought Edwards was underrated, I think Cabana is WAY overrated.  Hell, when MSU offered him, I sort of hoped it wasn't commutable yet.  He looks like a fast kid, but not a football player
