He didn’t come remotely close to watching every practice this year as BK doesn’t allow the media to watch practice during the season. There are actual insiders with information on lsu recruiting but Moscona definitely isn’t one. He proves it time and time again with his incorrect takes.

Why do people put stock in Moscona? He is only interested in click baiting people onto his articles and podcasts. He made fun of people who followed recruiting just a few years ago. Now he’s a so called “recruiting insider.”
I agree. Scone is the biggest bonehead in Louisiana sports media, but 104.5 is probably the most accessible. Not really a fan of Jordy's show, so can't speak on him.
Shea is more reliable when it comes to recruiting news but all he does is get the nod from LSU to "leak" or "release" the info early to stir up hype and clicks.
Lonn has to be the worst, we've seen him spoil announcements for recruits/current players cause he wants to be the first to leak it.

Well yeah, he has him on the show once a week. Scone was also the guy who kept saying we were targeting Jacoby Mathews. I assume he's just stirring the pot for clicks/interactions with that one.

But I mean Jacoby not transferring anywhere at all seems like a dumb move on his part. He might as well have gone to a small school to try and build back some hype around him.

Last I heard he went to a JUCO to get his grades up. Not sure what's going on now.

His Bama is burning is one of the worst things I've ever seen

Wish he would drop that schtick
Especially since they took us to the woodshed this year

Exactly. Take your L and move on.

Right? It was really bad after he did all the talking.
Back to the subject at hand I haven't seen anything this morning from either side. Seems like the agents working in the background then kids enter the portal and take visits or already have the no contact clause and know where they're headed.

If this was legit he'd have to hit the portal by today unless he already applied and it takes time. 0 talk of it on Texas side says it's probably not true because they'd get wind of it before any "LSU insider".
He probably got a raise at Texas if anything.

Per Texas he's locked in with them

I dont think anyone wants a drama stirring race baiter around the program. I'm sure the kids great but his dad starts constant drama. I could see him saying "my sons not starting because he's black".

I like Moscona but I hope the Bama is burning thing is over. It's cringy.

Agreed. Per a player on this years team, he is not a fan of LSU.

I agree wholeheartedly with your general sentiment that the derek williams stuff probably isn't legitimate, but i don't agree with this statement. In situtations where a kid has a specific destination planned out, it's completely possible that people with the destination program would know before people at the current program. In fact, in situations where the destination is planned out even before the current season ends--as was allegedly the case, here--Id go so far as to say it might even play out that way in a majority of cases: If the kid knows he's leaving and knows where he's going then he'd pretty much have to have things locked up with the destination school (obviously behind the scenes through back channels) before breaking the news to the current school.
In any event, I don't think any of that is the case here. There was never an iota of legitimate smoke around derek williams - unless you count moscona as a legitimate source, which I unequivocally do not. This was all just wishful thinking coupled with a guy playing into his audience's wishful thinking in a (successful) attempt to get clicks/views.
