Looks like we're #1 on Moore's list according to this. He's visiting for the Oklahoma game and could commit then if all goes well. I'd be more than happy to have him as our final WR in this class.

Say hello to the future of UC Wide Receivers:
Shaq in the slot... Moore and Chisum out wide... I like the multiple sizes and looks they'll give you too... the tiny, shifty Shaq in the slot... then you've got the excellent length of Chisum out wide...
Anybody seen Moore on Tape and able to provide a breakdown of where he might fit in with the offense? I saw he compared himself to Hines Ward because of his affinity for blocking...
he can block look at the third play of his highlight tape he pancakes a linebacker

Wow! Nice! Just goes to show the bias by all of these recruiting sites. If Alabama or Florida or Ohio State signed Moore, he would be a 4 star player and highly touted but because he verballed early to UC, he never had a chance to be more than a 3 star player. Why has Poteat "dropped" in the rankings since he decommitted from Pitt? Nobody played any games since then. It is because he chose Cincinnati. Rivals, Scout, and ESPN all know who makes them the most money. It is the fan bases of SEC schools, Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC, etc. Any recruit that picks one of those schools is going to be elevated because they want to sell subscriptions and magazines. It is not quite as bad in basketball because football recruiting is their big money maker.
Its not even the big moneys schools. Pitt's recruiting classes have always been overranked, particularly by Scout. My understanding is that a couple of the guys who are invited in the midwest recruiting are Pitt alums (along with some OSU). Another school that always gets love its seems is Syracuse. We are seeing this right now with the ESPN rankings. Syracuse has a huge broadcast journalism program and a good number of the guys at ESPN and their interns are alums.
I am not going to come out an say there is a bias against UC, but there certainly is not anyone out there who has any power to advocate on behalf of UC on issues like this.
