Ha ha. This is moses' qoute. quote:Oh yeah. No doubt. That would have been the school I would have went to if Les Miles was still there,” Moses said. “It’s a done deal (now). He’s gone. I still have a relationship with him, but I haven’t spoken to him since he was fired. I’m still going to keep a close connection with him But yeah we should take your opinion over what Moses actually said.

Read your own linked article. Right after he says that he goes on to say this:

"One of the biggest reasons why Moses loves Alabama so much is because of Tide linebacker Reuben Foster. Moses describes Foster as his “big brother.” Foster was assigned to be Moses’ host for his official visit.

Foster told him about what to expect if he chose Alabama. He told him about how he needed to be patient with the coaching staff if he didn’t play immediately as a freshman.

Then Foster told him what Moses had been wanting to hear. The star linebacker told him he wanted him to follow in his footsteps and commit to Alabama.

“When Reuben came to me and told me he wanted me there, that right there just clicked in my mind,” Moses said. “He told me that the night before. When your idol football player comes and tell you that, that just sealed the deal.

“When he said that, it made me so happy inside. It made me just want to commit off of that. On top of that, I was thinking about once I finally got (there) wearing his number and honoring him. That was one of my thoughts, but I’m still thinking about it. At the same time, just being in the same presence as him was great.”

Holy shite. Not single word of this means he was lying.

Oct. 2 official visit. When was miles fired again?

quote:

---

Moses has described Miles as a family friend, and he would have played for The Mad Hatter if he was the Tigers coach in 2017.

---

Lol, so if they were such good friends why decommit from him? If he was going to LSU when Miles was coach why ever decommit from him? That was his guy right, why not support him?

So now recruits dont recommit after reopening their recruiting?

A recruit still has to weigh his options and miles was on the hot seat. Im glad you finally realized that the official visit ,you kept claiming disproved his qoute, was after Miles was fired.

I find it extremely laughable that you posters actually believe a future nfl player would just lie to appease lsu fans. You guys have a real sense of self worth and the worth of your opinions.

It means he is full of shite.

---

Wow. The official visit you keep posting about HAPPENED after Miles was fired. You not only dont understand how recruiting works, you dont understand time.



Anyway just forget it.

Im sure the opinions of LA residents made a future nfl player lie.

quote:

---

Maybe he thinks he can move up at Memphis. He might have another plan for his career.

---

He may have another plan, but you don't burn bridges. He plan could go up in smoke.

The point people are making is that Moses de-committed while Miles was the coach. If he would have went to LSU for Miles, he would have never de-committed in the first place. What he said afterwards is BS.

You probably should start following Vandy recruiting, they're a lot more transparent and it'll be easier for you to understand. You'll actually be able to take things at face value.

Actually it doesn't matter whether Moses was pissed that Les was fired and that made up his mind or if he had already made up his mind to go to Alabama.. either way it happened it just emphasizes the point of how hard it is to keep together a recruiting class once the head coach is fired... some recruits actually develop a relationship with the head coach or offensive coordinator and some wonder about whether a new coach will perform or what the offense will look like or even which coaches will be around to start Spring Ball. It doesn't matter if O was the recruiting coordinator, he was a DL coach and not the face of LSU. O was able to maintain a top 10 class... yes he lost some in state recruits... that actually makes what he did even harder to believe... because the kids he did get in large part were not homer kids that grew up loving LSU.. the late additions were out of state kids a lot of who were linked heavily to other Power 5 teams. I think O did a good job of filling needs other than at RB.. That was one of the things we all bitched about was lopsided recruiting classes heavy on the sauce (DB, WR, and RBs) and light on the meat and potatoes...
