No Michigan high school QB in the last twenty years has amounted to much of anything.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:29 AM ^
Devin Gardner says, "WTH!"
November 7th, 2022 at 9:35 AM ^
He had all the potential in the world. I’m glad he went to Michigan and gave it his all but he played behind some of the worst O Lines and he had significant injuries because of it. I wish he was Michigans QB under Harbaugh. For one reason or another Michigan High School QB’s haven’t done anything really. They’ve been solid at best but the most elite QB’s seem like they come from the hotbed states.
November 7th, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
This should be a warning sign for Moore. Devin was really good, until a terrible o-line broke his body and his spirit. Why would a 5* QB want to have his career shortened by playing behind a line that shows no signs of being competent? And for a team that is unlikely to be a top team even in their best years? He might make that choice, but the NIL payday had better be good, because it is a career-limiting-move.

Kirk Cousins? Holland Christian High School class of 2007.
Drew Stanton? Farmington Hills Harrison High School class of 2003.
Cooper Rush? Lansing Catholic High School class of 2012.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:44 AM ^
I guess since their recruiting class is falling apart, they now have a lot of money to throw his way.
/lol!
November 7th, 2022 at 8:48 AM ^
I am guessing that Jim Comparoni posted this or agrees with this as well?
November 7th, 2022 at 2:02 PM ^
No, he is not optimistic. In the same boat as every other MSU writer.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:51 AM ^
Dante’s reeeeally going for that Devin Gardner college experience then eh?
November 7th, 2022 at 8:54 AM ^
Scherer:MSU | Yoder:Michigan
November 7th, 2022 at 2:01 PM ^
Sean is much, much less outspoken. Not really a comparison there.
November 7th, 2022 at 2:26 PM ^
I don't know Yoder's first name either.
There are differences.
November 7th, 2022 at 8:58 AM ^
Why not leave a program that has a shot at the playoff and plenty of NIL money for a trashy sideshow like MSU which is typically the 4th best team in its own division, and which is always getting bad press for criminal or quasi-criminal conduct by its players? If this happens, MSU must have some boosters willing to outbid even Oregon money for a player. To each his own, but I find it hard to understand how “I can play for a consistently good program with a shot at playoffs and make a lot of money” trumps “I can play for an embarrassment of a program and make a little more money.”
November 7th, 2022 at 9:09 AM ^
There’s a rumor that Mat Ishbia is offering him 2% of UWM to come to MSU. “NIL” y’all.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:23 AM ^
This "story" smells like a delusional MSU fans wet dream rather than actual fact. No need for anyone to worry.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:25 AM ^
Guy is apparently never correct with his predictions.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:30 AM ^
Actually 80% correct which is pretty high but I still highly doubt it since NOBODY else is saying anything like that:

November 7th, 2022 at 9:36 AM ^
It won't let me respond to @webbertucky. I could have been more clear. He is never correct with his predictions (hyped up picks to get clicks) and then changes them last minute to preserve his accuracy. The RCMB does not trust him and they'll believe anything.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:26 AM ^
If Moore is developing interest in MSU after (gestures around) ... I say let him go.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:40 AM ^
If he would seriously consider them with Oregon and Nix looking so fantastic and MSU being at its least reputable point in years on and off the field, then good riddance. Don't think I buy it though.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:52 AM ^
His handoffs are a thing of beauty. It’s a shame he’s going to go somewhere else where his opportunities will be limited.
November 7th, 2022 at 9:54 AM ^
If you have to speech-to-text to make your post, then maybe just wait until you get to a computer...
November 7th, 2022 at 9:59 AM ^
I don't care. Not because it wouldn't make a difference, but because there's no basis for the conversation. Some MSU dude says something, no-one knows the veracity of it, no-one knows anything.
And I mean let's be real here, being an 'insider' on a college football recruiting website means very little. Plenty of hucksters and morons in that 'trade'.
November 7th, 2022 at 10:05 AM ^
Off topic, Brian Dohn who's a national recruiting analyst crystal balled Jadyn Davis to UM this morning. So we got that going for us.
November 7th, 2022 at 10:11 AM ^
I would rather talk about this than Dante.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
This is far more thread-worthy than a MSU thread based on one person’s crystal ball.
Davis can be great in the UM system with his arm, athleticism and leadership.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:51 AM ^
Then post it. Dam when I posted this morning that was on the top of the predictions for and Dohn didn't post his Davis ball yet. Not like I want Moore to go to MSU it is more like WTF why would Moore even think of going there. I swear some people on here get all worked up over a blog.
November 7th, 2022 at 10:21 AM ^
Some confusion here. The crystal ball is for Dinty Moore, a long snapper who goes by the nickname "Beef Stew".
November 7th, 2022 at 10:24 AM ^
It’s literally one crystal ball from a random MSU insider who is just riding the hype on the laughable Justin Thind article from a few days ago. Even Thind said it’s wishful thinking. This seems like this insider is just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks while trying to get clicks and subscribers from fanbase looking for hope
November 7th, 2022 at 10:30 AM ^
Moore is not flipping to MSU FFS
November 7th, 2022 at 10:39 AM ^
Even State fans are ridiculing this clickbait.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:11 AM ^
This is the Michigan difference--things going too well, so let's tantalize ourselves with the idea of a recruiting coup for an opponent bc an anonymous person placed a ball midway between meh and hurrah.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:18 AM ^
There may well be a compensation package that would compel Moore and his family to flip to MSU but it would presumably need to be super lucrative to beat the deal he got from Oregon. He's a free agent until signing day and is going to get paid, just a question of by who.
Signing with Sparty generally seems like it would be a poor business decision, though if you get enough money up front it may be worth suffering through a year or two and then (potentially, of course) hitting the portal. Free agents do sign with bad teams, it happens all the time.
Hopefully Oregon is on the ball here and keeps him away from East Lansing, the less talent Tuck's staff has to work with the better.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
What is going on? I just took a look at 247 sports - and, it appears that every five star prospect - all 37 of them, in the 2023 class - have reopened their commitments - and, crystal balls are ALL now pointing at the Spartans.
Rumor has it: Michigan State's recruiting haul this year will make what Texas A&M did last year look like "child's play". Nick Saban has already scheduled a news conference to discuss this - and, the NCAA is looking into it too.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:26 AM ^
Moore did take down the Oregon picture he had on his twitter profile. Some poster on ON3 says he heard last week that Moore will decommit from Oregon soon.
November 7th, 2022 at 11:39 AM ^
I mean, guys change their twitter profile pictures for any number of reasons. He also tweeted only two weeks ago that the Oregon playmakers are different.
Maybe he flips but this feels a bit out of left field especially since Oregon is playing really well now and may well make a late run at the playoffs.
November 7th, 2022 at 12:04 PM ^
Just pointing it out. Kind of weird that he changed it to a plain black background. And probably just a coincidence that he took it down after Bo Edmundson decommitted from MSU.
November 7th, 2022 at 1:32 PM ^
The Edmundson decommit is likely not related. That kid was hurt and hadn't played all year. Plus, it's good to take a developmental QB along with a 5* kid just in case. That he "decommitted" after the tunnel incident is likely a coincidence.
November 7th, 2022 at 12:23 PM ^
I don't think any rational MSU fan is taking this crystal ball seriously. Even most irrational MSU fans are skeptical. I, for one, am enjoying the reactions on other teams' message boards. It's been pretty good entertainment.
November 7th, 2022 at 12:51 PM ^
No fucking way that Moore leaves NIL bag at Oregon, along with jobs at Nike for his family, to sign with sparty. Although Moore's father was wearing a Staee shirt at Moore's commitment ceremony.
November 7th, 2022 at 1:16 PM ^
A few points:
1. DM to MSU makes no sense from a ‘football’ perspective. DM is an exceptional talent and his skills would be better maximized in a high profiled offense. I am rather confident MSU would not maximize his skills as building an Offense DM needs takes time, and MSU is nowhere near ready.
2. As we are seeing, HS athletes are making decisions based on immediate financial gains along with future preparation for the NFL. Who knows what ‘package’ schools would make for him.
3. I am skeptical Oregon has soured on DM. I am also skeptical DM is wandering unless something substantial has materialized at Oregon. We ‘fans’ always know after the fact. So could be a need for him to look, but sooooo many top tier programs would take him. MSU makes no sense, and not just cause they are our in-state rival. If MSU was in UM’s current state, then I could see a case. Now, nope.
November 7th, 2022 at 4:12 PM ^
If those high paying donors are willing to give Mel 10 million a year, have to believe they'd be willing to pony up the cash for DM. Their 10 on Mel isn't looking so good right now so they'd probably do anything to help that situation.
November 7th, 2022 at 6:23 PM ^
The first time I saw the story of Michigan St trying to flip Moore it was right during the suspensions last week. The first thing I thought is it was their way of trying to medicate their miserable outlook of the team.
