Moore question...Does anyone know if he and Caden were tight in hs?

Don't think it matters.

I think it gets thrown around too much, but pretty much everything Moore has done during his recruitment has pointed towards money being the most important thing to him.

We're good and he's good. LSU has speed for days. Our three WRs in this class all offer different things at the spot. Meadows is like a Tetairoa McMillan type of physical presence at WR. Francis is a physical big bodied guy made for the dirty work. He's going to be in the slot. Phillip Wright is the burner. The deep threat that we need to continually keep this passing attack explosive. We'll develop him unlike what happened with Palmer here, who couldn't get right until he left LSU.

Moore will light it up at Oregon, but LSU is WR U for a reason.

I’m not talking about sour grapes, but this might be the best thing for us.

He probably wanted seven figures for one player. And granted we do have those. But if you can get three great receivers for the same amount and they end up just as good or might even be better. You never know.

Hes also lost to Oregon and not a school in the sec for which you’ll see twice in four years.

He was actually referring to a friend involved in NIL from Texas. LSU wasn’t even in the balllpark with those two programs

Mascona and Gordan McKernan were talking about NIL and his name came up. Supposedly he was all Texas but wanted to go visit Oregon. Gordan said the deal he had worked out with Texas was for 1.2 million per year. He went to Oregon and what ever they offered him Texas didn’t even try to convince him to stay in Texas. It was an interesting discussion about how the NIL stuff was going on. He said that Collin Simmons really wanted to come to LSU but Texas offered him too much money for him to turn down. He also said that 5 stars and high 4 stars NIL deals usually are 750,000 and up per year

If the kind of money Gordon is talking about is being thrown around, he’d probably be an idiot to pass on it.

He's got a lot of family members with hands out - we said not going there - bridges burned at tex also - as nicky said - not hard to find great wr in la - that was a good pass imo

I mean... if they were tight in HS--which I assume they were/are, at least to some extent--then they were also tight in HS when moore initially decommitted and when he initially committed to Oregon. Nothing has changed in terms of Durham's and Moore's tightness, so I'm not sure why we'd expect that factor to change things at this stage in the game. If anything, it's probably *less* of a factor now than it was because they're further removed from the point in time at which they saw each other every day and probably communicate less now than they did before.

Durham moved from Oklahoma to Duncanville, its not like they grew up together
