DIRTY POOL

Look, I'm not naive. I've been in business for myself for going on 40 years. I've had my share of wins and losses, more contracts with more different people or companies than I can count. I get it. I really do.

But I am still disgusted by the manner in which these schools conduct business. They lie to each other and make promises they have no intention of keeping.

Shake my hand while I stab you in the back.

To "break up" with your "partners" and do it on the QT, behind their backs, is reprehensible in my book.

How can the ADs at USC and UCLA even look their "former" peers in the face?

With my rosed colored glasses on, I would think that these are Institutions of Higher Education and I expect much, much better than this.

The reality though, is that they are just megalomaniacs.

It wasn't too long ago that the PAC-12 (RIP) did not want to look at expanding to certain other schools, because those schools did not have high enough academic standards.

Now were are just scrambling to find a chair when the music stops.

It makes me want to puke.

Cheers!

In-depth interview with Rivals250 DE Johnny Bowens in Converse, Texas

Johnny Bowens set the record straight on his Texas A&M decommitment and where things stand with the Ducks after his official visit last weekend.

Mookie Cook decommits from Oregon

Five-star top-10 wing Marquis “Mookie” Cook has backed away from his commitment to Oregon tonight. He committed to the Ducks in March.

There’s been some strong Kentucky buzz coinciding with his announcement but we’ll see where it all goes. The expectation is that the Ducks will not be a major player in his recruitment moving forward despite him mentioning it in his post. So chances of of a re-commitment by Cook are slim at this stage.

I'm a little under the weather, so apologies for not getting this posted last night. BUT, here's the interview with five-star QB Dante Moore. He talks about the latest visit to Oregon plus gives an overall update on his recruitment. I got him for a few minutes by himself away from the pack to dive deeper into some Oregon-specific questions and he definitely had a good time on campus once again. Getting him out on a weekend when pretty much every top target was on campus was a good idea for the Ducks it would seem. He brought up on more than one occasion how nice it was to see so many recruits from places other than the West Coast.

I do think if there's one thing that has created any kind of pause from him, after speaking to him a couple times in recent weeks, it is the distance from Michigan to Oregon. He has been put at ease about that, but seeing that Oregon is recruiting nationally and he will have players around him from closer to his home and from similar areas is giving him some comfort. That's my read on it at least. He gives a great interview and you can watch it all here in the video below.
