As I previously noted, he was NEVER going to ku.

Had offers from a lot of major schools but many backed off, possibly due to grade concerns. Reported offers from: Ohio State, Florida State, Auburn, Nebraska, Oklahoma, among others, during the early recruiting period (pre-senior year).

Apparently Weir had him commit to Kansas to make sure he'd have a spot somewhere on signing day.

The mother of a fellow Olathe North grad, who also played football there and at Mizzou, is on PowerMizzou and has mentioned that Moore still has a chance to qualify. But if he doesn't, and this is another sign and place?

I think I like it.

Missouri seems to have found something/a comfort level with the sign and place system, especially with schools that will allow a guy to redshirt one of the two years he is at JUCO.

Chase Abbington in this recruiting class was a sign-and-place who will come in with three years of eligibility remaining. Markus Golden and Sheldon Richardson were the same way.

Nate Strong, Brandon Martin and now Josh Moore are all candidates for that for Mizzou. It's probably going to be an ongoing part of the strategy with East St. Louis kids, where HS qualification is a significant and ongoing issue, so it's smart.

Even if they only get the recruit on the field for one year, it's been a huge benefit for the community colleges.

It appears that Mizzou is slow-playing another ku commit (Dorance Armstrong) in the case that Nate Howard sticks with Wisky.

Anyone have any insight on Terry Beckner Jr., as in will it be us, tOSU or FSU?

Pretty confident it's Mizzou because of Darren Sunkett's influence and relationship with Pinkel and co.

Should know a bit more on Sunday/Monday, after his official visit wraps up.

Sorry to be that guy, what about Howard?

Oh, and my bad on the lack of Oxford comma. Apologies.

I walked by Mauk on campus today. First time I'd seen him up close. He's taller than I thought. I'm 6'1" and he looked as tall as me. He does look small, though. We shared eye contact for a few milliseconds too long, like he could sense that I wished death upon him, and secretly, he wanted my demise as well.

Lol. Crying.

Maybe it was the "Drew Lock in 2015" t-shirt you had on?

This is the Hamas death stare I have pictured in my mind...

I did a double take and locked eyes with Chase Daniel in old Brady Commons once. He gave me a nod and a shit eating grin, and I shook my head no in an attempt to convey the reason I looked at him was to try and discern how that man and his physical body could be a successful D1 quarterback. Dude was short and fat with a double chin.

Rivals appears to be down. Howard's announcement is soon.
