That's funny. I heard from Utes on CB that it was because Utah wanted him to play DT/NT, and he wants to play DE.

Also, who they got on DL now for that class? Nothing? Yeah makes perfect sense.

So many excuses. And you can totally tell it was that when the kids write "Please respect my decision". Because kids with no offers when decommitting always write that.

Ron McBride in 1280 just said Moa's scholarship was essentially pulled by Utah.

Very predictable.

Did they tell him he's in high school still?

My bad. I'm the idiot that can't read. He said they thought he is going.

Even if true, imagine not making spots available for a hometown 4*. LOL

A legacy player at that

SingleStrapBackpack

And he is essentially calling Moa a liar. Didn't Moa specifically say on his

Yes because he knows how pathetic Utah is

Yep Utah/Whit recruiting tactics are no secret

Yes - he did, most likely because he knew what to expect from the Utes-smart kid

Zero chance the offer was pulled

Honestly that would look even worse for Utah haha.

Yep. It would make them look even more idiotic.

Crossing my fingers that this one happens

Yeah, a QB that can't get it done at OU is going to show up at Utah figure it

Can you imagine? Like I need another reason to hate Utah?

They should get their story straight. Ute Twitter is saying it's because he didn

That story doesn't make Utah look better.

I find it funny that many BYU fans think that McBride was a good guy.

Benfica1

10/15/21 3:32pm

He struck me as cynical and jealous of BYU's success. But he was Utah's best

spoxjox

10/15/21 3:34pm

This is true. He set the table for Urban and Whitt.

Benfica1

10/15/21 3:35pm

Urban was successful, but he was not a good coach.

spoxjox

10/15/21 3:36pm

Prior to Urban the Utes had 1 top 25 finish in their history. They've had 9

Food Snob

10/15/21 3:49pm

Urban basically walked in, took the talent that McBride had recruited, and won.

Who's the metaphorical STD in this scenario? KWhitt or DOCTOR Chris Hill?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

Both. One is herpes and the other is gonorrhea.

Weird analogy. I’ll assume you were just trying to be funny and create some

No, I was being deliberate. Urban is a slimeball.

I know Mcbride personally and he not a good guy, he's a great guy. Legit. He

LOL, the guy is an unstoppable force. Probably their best prospect since Anae.

Hmmm, yeah can disprove this in about 10 seconds.

dwhitebud

10/15/21 4:20pm

While true I would bet he was planning on decommitting prior to Lowe’s death

Cougz19

10/15/21 8:22pm

Is he considered an insider? I thought he was just a funny, big personality they

The Kavorka

He still chums it up with Scalley every so often.

Yummy Tears

10/15/21 8:57pm

Yeah they would've found room for someone like Moa. This is a lie or a bad

Rat

10/15/21 4:33pm

I hope this is true because it means that Utah hates RMs. Send them our way.

panacablue

10/15/21 4:38pm

I don’t see why what McBride said can’t be true though. Makes sense.

SlantRoute

10/15/21 4:48pm

In that case…

DKN

See my post above. Literally can't be true.

It was much more likely a literal PULL of a trigger (quite a few pulls) that got

It’s somewhere in the middle. But McBride isn’t totally wrong on this.

You find a spot for 4*. Everyone does.

Carnac

10/15/21 6:50pm

Correct, if he was legit. I’m not convinced he’s a 4*

kurda

10/15/21 10:17pm

So which Ute recruiting service do you work for?

McBride legitimately began going senile around 10 years ago. I have a cousin who played for him at Weber during that
