From the UVA perspective, one thing that many UVA fans are peeved about is the admissions' office unwillingness to take just any kid that has qualified academically from the NCAA's perspective. There are a few instances of recruits being turned away or, more commonly, players already on the team dropping out academically and being snapped up by other programs. Jeffrey Fitzgerald couldn't stay qualified academically but transferred to K-State with zero problems. Just like any school, the academics requirements are loosened considerably for football players, but they're still more stringent than most.

I don't think Moses "so obviously wants to be a Buckeye" as one put it, as much as this is just a further sign of the extreme due diligence he's been doing throughout this process. I don't think he's been to Columbus yet (which would contradict one of the points in the Coyer thread about no offers without some kind of visit first unless Moses was up for a camp or junior day or something.) He's visited tons of places - was in Knoxville last weekend even though his Tennessee recruiter was Latrell Scott - who is now at UVA.
Well, I certainly don't claim to be any kind of expert on UVA, but I do know that they took a chance on Olu Hall back in 2004:

Quote:
Olu Hall (Virginia) - Leading up to NLOID 2004, Hall's final two teams were Virginia and Ohio State. At the eleventh hour, he opted for his home state school and signed with the Cavaliers. However, Olu had some academic issues, and he was forced to take a year at Hargrave Military Academy before re-signing with UVa the next year. As a true freshman in 2005, Hall saw very limited action at outside linebacker (94 plays), and he assisted on only one tackle. It's still early for Hall, but to date he's hardly made a four-star impact at the college level. Update July 2008: After being declared academically ineligible for both the 2006 and 2007 seasons, Olu Hall left Virginia for the greener pastures (and easier classrooms) of Kansas State. Wildcat fans are expecting big things from Olu in 2008 ... if he can ever see the field. Zero stars.
Where Are They Now?

I imagine that almost every school takes a chance on a kid once in a while.

The Buckeyes won't invite Moses for an official visit until he can make it through admissions. Hence, no "official offer", so I am changing the thread title to "verbal offer".
