'09 VA OL Morgan Moses (Fork Union)

[jwinslow]

What's that saying about assumptions? It applies quite well here, guessing that Hall isn't coming (despite his thread and the rumor mill) or that OSU will be turning folks away (intel suggesting otherwise, grad, others)

Guarded optimism is always best with OOS blue-chippers, but there's no need to come up with added reasons one could worry.

Mike Farrell thinks tOSU is the team to beat but wonders about class room and if the Bucks would take Hall and Moses.

That would be a great pick up... Morgan joined Marcus Hall as 2nd team USA Today All-Americans.

If we are the leader and he has the academics to get in, then we HAVE to take him. We need all the o-line help we can get.........

Now when he/you say "class room", are you talking about the number of scholarships available or grades? Both?

The wording of that confused me a bit.

The article questions if we will have enough room in the class for Morgan and Marcus Hall.

I think the article wants to know if our "class room"s are large enough for Morgan to fit into

This kid falls into the "you don't say no to this kind of talent" category. He is basically a HS version of Stacy Andrews-a 6'7 340 monster who is incredibly mobile for his size and plays w/ a mean streak. Does he need some techique work-yes, but nothing earth shattering. Martinez, on the other hand, has been listed as 6'2 260-I don't care what kind of technique you have, I take/offer the mean dancing bear.

While my first choice would be Hall, Adams, Boyd and Brown, I doubt that Brown's going to come here. I am about 40% on Adams coming here now. If even one of those two don't sign with OSU, I am sure we'll have room for Morgan in this class.

Any 3-4 of those (including Moses) would round out this amazing class nicely...

If we get two of the aforementioned Boyd/Adams/Hall/Brown/Moses, I will be ecstatic. I couldn't imagine how excited I'd be if any more than 2 of those guys signed a LOI with us. Hosley or Edwards would be the icing on the cake.

The more I hear about Morgan Moses, the more I like. You can't teach those measurables and if that bear can dance, we could really shore-up our (arguably) worst performing position from 2008.

OU is also on his list, and probably for a good reason. Brandon Braxton and Moe Dampeer both ended up there due to grades after expressing heavy interest in OSU

Moses would provide much needed depth at LT. He has similar size as Eugene Monroe, who was also a top OT recruit from Virginia.

[BuckeyeLiger87]

You gotta think of Boyd, Brown, Hall, and Adams odds are we miss at least one and its good to still be in good with guys like Moses and Edwards. But its hard to believe were his leaders when if irc he hasn't visted yet. Anyways I actually think Moses could end up playing some guard, but then again I've been a huge fan of big guards like that (Herman Johnson Steve Rhering).

One of my associates has a nephew involved in recruiting for Alabama. He mentioned Moses a while back as a possibility for the Tide, but had serious reservations whether Moses could get in academically. AL already has verbals from 6 OL in this class including 5star Fluker and 4star JV Carpenter. Plus, they picked up 5star Love & 4stars Jones & Boswell last year, all three of which, if you move Jones to center, which he says they are doing, were in the 2deep. When I mentioned Moses last week, he didn't seem to think that AL was all that interested, especially since they are still in on and maybe will get, Massie & Moore. So, I'm liking our chances with Morgan, if AL(and the classroom) is considered our principal competition for his services.

Wishing all out for Adams, Hall, Moses, Boyd, in that order, all 4 are Rivals100. If Brown wants to come, fine, but I'm perfectly content with the three we have with Carter, Jackson and Fields.....plus possibly Green, Corey Brown, etc.
