There was a pretty strong east coast storm this past weekend and the area Moses is in was hit particularly hard. That could have been the reason for the LSU cancellation.

Signing Day preview: Buckeyes eye top recruits
By Doug DiLillo
Published: Monday, February 1, 2010

Another name being mentioned as a possible surprise commitment Wednesday is offensive lineman Morgan Moses.

Moses was a U.S Army All-American in 2009 and committed to Virginia, but due to grade issues spent a year at Fork Union Military Academy. He showed strong interest in OSU last year, and some believe he has always had interest in being a Buckeye.

He did not take an official visit to OSU, so unless he extends his recruitment past Wednesday, Virginia will most likely be his destination.

Signing day comes again for Moses
By Michael Phillips
Published: February 3, 2010

A year ago, Morgan Moses was the headline act among Richmond-area recruits on signing day.

He waited until then to make his decision, ultimately deciding to stay in-state and play for the University of Virginia.

The 6-7, 330-pound offensive tackle was sure to make an immediate impact. But a year later, he still isn't enrolled as a student on the Grounds.

His story underscores the nature of signing day, which is more like the major-league baseball draft than the NFL's. Most top-tier recruits take a redshirt year, and their impact may not be seen for another few years.

For Moses, his road to college football was detoured when he was unable to qualify academically at U.Va. Instead, he went to Fork Union Military Academy, where he could work on his academics while continuing to practice for a strong postgraduate football team.

By going to FUMA, though, he was no longer bound by his national letter of intent, so this year other schools came calling, hoping to pounce on the uncertainty involving the Cavs coaching situation, and steal Moses away to their schools. Among the suitors making a big push were South Carolina, LSU and Ohio State.

Despite that, when he holds his signing day ceremony today, he's expected to stick with his original choice.

He won't be headed to Charlottesville right away, instead wrapping up at Fork Union this spring.
