This was a major FAIL for this recruiting class that hopefully can be ameliorated by finding someone who can compete with Hicks to start in 2017. But its a BUST. Finding a QB that fits this offense this year was among the highest priorities. They didn't execute a backup plan either. I'm complimentary of the Staff when they do good things but they are going to have to flush this turd of a QB search. I'm patient though in that its really 2017 that we need another QB and there is time to pick up a Division 1A transfer before that.

Aside from the "possible" issues with Moore, I am of the opinion that it is not necessarily a bad thing to not have a 2016 QB commit. First of all , you already have at least 4 QB's on scholarship, Davis will get every opportunity to hold onto his job and Hicks might just push him (from the practices I have seen he looks pretty darn good). Secondly, with no commit in 2016, the QB's with offers for 2017 may see it as an advantage to commit sooner rather than later. I would love to see the kid from Lake Travis go ahead and commit for the 2017 class. And third, that scholarship can be used on the defensive side of the ball.

MAybe Coach Morris was unaware of what Beaver Nation said if it is even true. I would not question Coach Morris recruiting like that though.

He knew and that's why he backed off.

On the one hand we're to believe Morris is great at recruiting and evaluation.....but on the other hand he just realized this was a bad kid and dumped him less than a week before signing day? Sure.

Whatever, it's done. Hopefully he gets an even better prospect in 2017, and Moore doesn't come back to haunt SMU.
