Mack, Motion, & Zaycoven on the interior of the DL for the next 2 years.

I see that you still view the recruiting board as your personal troll board. I guess you must do special favors for the mods.
I still you're still butthurt over me continuing to post actual recruiting information (go figure, you're only "upset" when it's about an A&M recruit). If you're upset about it talk to the guy who did exactly that.

In what way? He committed to them, decommitted from them, committed to another SECW school, recommitted to them later on, they placed him somewhere and he bailed. Why waste anymore time on him from their perspective? Not like he wa sa big time recruit or anything. He has a big sophomore season, didn't play his junior year then wasn't anything close to the same his senior year which is why he ended up a mid 3-star.

He ended up a mid 3 star because he was not going to qualify. 247 always drops grade risks when it starts to become clear they aren't making it.

This is what A&M mods are trying to "sell" you on and simply isnt true. He dropped because he dropped off from a playing standpoint from his sophomore year. All us LSU fans were right there watching his recruitment. That was the primary reason for his drop. 247 doesnt drop guys 400 spots because they may not qualify. This is why LSU was never interested, with even your boy Chavis on staff here. Kind of funny we paid Moton no bother when Chavis was here then he leaves to go to A&M and cant get a 2016 DT so he ends up begging Moton to bail on MSU. And we really really could have used a DT in our 2015 class which we didnt sign one.

They absolutely do, do that. Hoza Scott was still wrecking shop when he was dropped off the face of the earth. It happens every year.
TD Moton plays high, and he didn't do what Mullen wanted him to.... that's literally the only knocks on him.

He didnt drop 400 spots just because of academics, far from the truth. I know this is what some sleezy mods are trying to sell, but he was dropping primarily due to the fact he regressed a lot by the end of his recruitment, he simply wasn't the same player. This was the primary reason for his drop and our mods said as much during his recruitment long long time ago.

So what your mods tell you is the truth, but something I've seen time and time again is what I'm "being sold"???
Thanks, carry on

Once again, guys dont get dropped FOUR HUNDRED spots for academics alone, it doesnt happen. Moton was regressing and our mods kept updating us as such through the whole process because we were following him. Our mods had no reason to lie about him as they were simply updating his recruitment as he went along, it's not like we suddenly landed him and our mods were making him out to be some 5-star who got bumped to a 3-star due to academics. He had a monster sophomore year, then it was down hill from there. At one point he was a 94 4-star, then ended up an 87 3-star. That drop wasn't just due to "Academics". He missed an entire season in high school and then didnt come back looking the same. It's why Alabama passed and LSU passed.

Alabama passed when it was clear he wasn't going to make it in, and they had other options who would.
Why are you so adamant about down playing this kid. He's a stud, and you're not convincing anyone otherwise.

he's physically gifted but seems a little crazy...which I guess can turn into good if channeled right 
Posted on 10/22/15 at 6:12 pm to Brageous
Lol if you took away all the crazy DT's would there be enough left for division 1 teams? Lololol
Posted on 10/22/15 at 6:57 pm to Nguyening
LSU passed on him, and probably had the best idea of how good he was considering he was in their backyard and they scouted him for 3-4 years
But you guys love to take LSU's scraps from Louisiana

I highly doubt 247 would ever drop a player in rankings due to grades. Travonte Valentine and Chidi-Valentine Okeke both had/have serious grade issues yet stayed 5 stars.
Moton is a solid player but he's a 3-4 space eater all the way and that didn't fit what Chavis wanted at LSU and what he wants at A&M. The fact that Chavis is trying to get Garrett, Valentine, Moton, Priest Willis, etc shows how poor of a recruiter he is. He wants other people's scraps because he won't put in the effort to pull a guy out of HS.
Moton wasn't even considered by LSU and wouldn't be today. A&M recruiting has fallen off the map.

Well it's rare. There's been a lot of grade risk players that stay high prospect players.
Posted on 10/22/15 at 7:38 pm to rmnldr
and there are also players who get a ranking hit after grade problems and other stuff come out. it definitely happens
