very very nice. Some impressive offers.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Wow...nice offers! Is this Mora's official first? Or do re-commits count?

Welcome aboard Derek!

This is awesome! Welcome aboard Derek!

 

[Tdaley]

I like his size.

 

[Urcea]

Inject the Kool Aid directly into my veins

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Nice get. Great start by coach Mora. It seems he has a little brother who is a 4 star or 5 star recruit with all kinds of offers.

 

[gtcam]

Great size - welcome young man and congrats Coach Mora

 

[Drew]

Welcome to the Pound, Derek!

He has a lot of reach with that frame- certainly can clog up any space and make a play in that space. Looking forward to seeing how he develops. Maybe he starts as a S and morphs into an OLB… like Beavers. Or maybe he stays lean and plays S like Obi M.

Derek’s offer list looks a lot like RE2.0…through Georgetown.

You can recruit these kids blind: Multiple early Ivy offers who then pick up Big 10 offers.

 

[DoctorWho85]

Mora is every bit the recruiter his reputation said he was. Welcome to the pound.

[ScottVib]

I had missed that he'll be an early enrollee (on top of multiple P5 offers)

 

[UC1995]

And all it took was a little goodwill with local coaches and some effort to pull in some of these guys. I don't think we have even scratched the surface of where we can go. Makes the last 4 years that much more infuriating.
