?First Commit for 2015 Class - Moses Mayes of Faulkner University (NAIA) -or Not!

[UConn Dan]

Another moment I started to feel this was all a bunch of BS? When he said this after he committed: Moses Mayes ‏@salutemee2 10h I was just on TV ESPNU. Talking about my commit to UCONN just a few min ago

yeah. Thought that smelled fishy

 

[huskymedic]

We could have been a contender...

@RyanTGraham247: Moses Mayes briefly committed to #UCONN. He has decommitted due to misunderstanding and taken them out of his Top 4. ht247sports.com/Player/Moses-M…

The Football board just got Kasongo'd

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

I follow hoop recruiting even less. What's the Kasango story?

You really don't believe Des's tweet is why he changed his mind, do you? He changed his mind because his offer wasn't real.

I think the way recruiting is now followed has moved from the ridiculous to the outright silly.

I used to love the measurable on the sites when 50% of the skill players ran 4.3-4.4. I mean, you can't make it up.......

Yup. And don't forget about the automatic 1-2 star upgrade when a kid commits to Alabama, Texas, Florida, etc and subsequent 1-2 star downgrade when he commits to UCONN.

This kid trolled everyone. Carrezola congratulated him on twitter.

Years ago BC recruited a DLman and I can't even begin to remember his name, but his measurable were something like 6'3", 280, 4.5, bench and squat through the roof. He was a junior in duck*ing high school and he had measurable that surpassed just about everyone in the NFL. I think that stuff is better now, but the whole thing is just really silly. And many of the kids fabricate (read lie) about interest and offers.

Then they rank the classes and folks think that the difference between the 45th 72nd ranked classes means something.

Well, the kid probably is a decent sprint football league prospect if he's got anything between the ears, and just got some interwebs publicity at the expense of UCONN, so there is a silver lining there for him. UCONN motto - always there to help elevate others.

Other than that, it's just more garbage info that didn't get filtered from the interweb.

Diaco doesn't strike me as a guy that approaches anything without goals and plan, and I'm not concerned at all about having no "commits" as of yet. My guess, is that nobody has actually gotten to stage of the process that would involve that yet.

Stay away from Mamula!!!!!!!!

Not true, Sports. I was able to get my hands on a copy of the kid's offer he's been claiming to have. Seems legit.

 

[BNich]

How long before he gets harassed and drug through the mud on twitter?!

 

[fgbrault]

Great..the recruiting ball is starting to roll! But 5'-5", 150 #'s? How many hits can he take from players up to at least 100# heavier?

They have to find him and catch him first.

Silver's blog indicates this young man is not playing football anywhere, but dorm room intermurals. Time to move along.

Started a post on this earlier, strange frigging story. His old coach said he played JV at NAIA school and quit the team!

This is so odd but why pick UConn?? Of all schools to pick why us? It just seems like an odd choice to pull the hoax with.

No I agree. I kind of feel like it's pretty sweet that we've reached a level where some kid fake committed to us....wait that sounds screwed up....

 

[Dove]

LOL...that's worse than "Five foot nuthin' and a hundread and "nuthin'"!!

Oh well. Holy Moses!!
