New info from Angulo:
āMiami was a really good time last weekend and I thought it was super insightful,ā Moss told 247Sports. āI got to see more of what coach
Mario Cristobal is trying to build down there. He had a clear vision of what that program is going to look like and it definitely gave me a lot more to consider. They showed me all the benefits of the program and the university.
āI had been to USC before and this was a different visit. Itās changing a lot and that coaching staff has definitely made a big impact. Thatās huge because itās what that program needed. For me, they were out of the picture because I didnāt believe they had that great of a culture. There was no championship culture, but I think coach
Lincoln Riley and that staff are now trying to fix things and get the team back on track to jump-start big things.ā
An important factor working in the Trojans' favor down the stretch? The recent involvement of new assistant coach
Jamar Cain, who also left Oklahoma to join
Lincoln Riley out West.
"Coach Cain was part of that Arizona State staff that was the first Power Five team to offer Cyrus early in the process," the source told 247Sports. "Coach Cain has been there from the beginning. Before the other offers came, he knew Cyrus was the real deal way back in the day."
Relationships have been big for Moss throughout the process. He has ASU on his list of finalists thanks to that early belief from Cain and assistant
Antonio Pierce. Moss cut short his weekend trip to Los Angeles for a one-day official to Miami last Sunday to check in with new coach
Mario Cristobal, who had been recruiting him the hardest of any head coach before leaving Oregon.
