Sparc, totally agree......anyone remember the RB from Cali that had his LOI faxed, but one paper was wrong-side up, so he 'took that as a sign' and sent his LOI to UCLA? Don't remember his name, but really never stood out on the national scene....Go Bucks. Would amend "until ink hits the fax" to "until the faxed LOI hits the Buckeye fax". Or somesuch. Kinda along the lines of 'until the check clears the bank'.....Anyway, a little nonsensical humor for a Saturday am. Go Bucks!

Anyone provided a comparison to Moore? Wasnt sure where he was developmentally, he obviously has the size.

I will go aways back and throw out Doug Worthington. Player from the east with a long frame, athletic as heck/basketball player, and I think likely to end up at DT despite his height.

Edit: I watched his film just now and actually he looks a lot like Worthington to me at this same stage if memory serves me right. Moore has a ton to like and seems to get by a lot with his size and athleticism and doesn't have a repertoire of moves/solid hand placement yet (not uncommon at all at his stage), so basically he would be the ideal LJ Sr project imo. I am curious to hear his football background and how long he has played...maybe I am way off here but he seems like a basketball player that just started to realize football is his best ticket. In any case, do want and hope to hear good news soon.

Good call on mentioning basketball, as that seems where his first love was, but he realized that football would/could eventually pay the bills.

If you want to fire up Moore, bring up basketball.

Moore's basketball days are over despite having Power Five potential, but the game still holds a special place in his heart.

"Anyone who questions him about anything related to basketball - that's when he goes off," laughed Weathers. "If someone said, 'Jason, you're sorry at basketball.' He'll let them have it because he was a basketball player. He'll get passionate about stuff like that."

The decision to give up basketball was tough, but Moore always knew it was coming. There might have been times this season where Moore second-guessed it, but he turned it into a positive and went to work.

"Jason has always known he was going to stop playing at a specific point," Weathers stated. "Football is his sport. It didn't bother him. Jason is a team guy. He loves his teammates, so when the basketball wasn't playing well, it pissed him off and that motivated him to play just because he wanted to help.

And his brother also plays basketball at Villanova, so basketball is definitely in the family’s DNA

Worthington is a great comp. I was trying to think of guys who played that DE/DT hybrid and the most obvious two I could think of were Cam Heyward and Richard Seymour. While I’d he ecstatic if Moore is either of those, I think Worthington is probably a much better comp. I think Moore will play in that 285-290 lb range. He has a big frame!
