Inevitable that he would go elsewhere...just didn't see it being scUM. His choice though. I wish success to him except of course when they play us.  |

Just a reality check on needs in this class. As great an athlete as Moore clearly is and can become, is TE a true position of need now for this class? (Especially with the versatile Stoneburner in the fold).
Though we never like to see the Buckeye state's best go to TSUN you must admit they have a good record of pumping out TEs - it is as good a shot at full development as Moore might get anywhere else.

Exactly.
The future at TE for Ohio State looks more than bright with Nicol and Ballard. |

Just my opinion...But we believe in the staff and their ability to judge talent...They have guys higher on the board than guys that Michigan has offered and taken from Ohio like Mealer, Moore, also they have offered a guy like Sanders...
I understand that we don't have a huge number of ships, but logically if we trust the staff and the fact they don't think these guys are better than the ones we have been able to get then we should have a better team than Michigan...

Blake Ayles, Ryan Wallace and Jake Byrne are all getting looks as more prototypical TEs...Moore was not an option. I think the staff made that very clear, despite the rumored interest lately (staff out at Trotwood watching track meets).

Here is where I disagree, Moore has better or as good of size(around 240 now) and has the frame to add alot more weight. He is also a good blocker and has the potential to be a great blocker. Just because he can stretch the field and run does not me he can't do the things a "prototypical TE" can do. Big mistake IMO by the staff here. |
