From yesterday - interview with Moss by a national recruiting writer for 247:
“I expect to make a decision sometime in June, I’m getting close,” Moss said. “I’m still looking at all four schools right now but life has been pretty hectic. I’ve had AP exams and then finals are next week so I haven’t been able to focus totally on making my decision. “I’ve had some great conversations with all the schools and that’s why it’s been so hard. My leaders and favorites have changed at different points in my recruitment so I’m just waiting for clarity but I do think I’m getting close.”
Alabama- “They have done a great job recruiting me and I have a really good relationship with coach Saban and coach Sark (Sarkisian),” Moss said. “What Alabama has done that I love is they get to know you as a person and then recruit you from that point of view. Like I can talk football with coach Saban anytime but we’ve also had some fun talks about The Last Dance and just the parallels between the Bulls dynasty and the Alabama program.
A lot of people have told me that coach Sark won’t be around much longer but I really think he’s committed to staying at Alabama and is in a great place there. As for Bryce (Young) being there, because people have brought that up a lot, that’s not a factor for me. I think there’s value in playing right away and also value in staying patient, biding your time and then getting an opportunity.
LSU- “LSU is a great program and there’s so many things I like about the school. They have done a great job recruiting me and even though I haven’t been able to visit, they have done a great job working around that and showing me as much of the school as they could. We have done a lot of zoom and virtual tours and they have shown me the locker room, the stadium and basically everything the school has to offer.
“I know they have a commitment from Garrett (Nussmeier) but they have consistently told me they plan to take two quarterbacks this class. Coach Orgeron called me the day before Garrett committed and the day after he committed to tell me nothing has changed and they still really want me to be there.
UCLA- “The whole UCLA staff has done a great job recruiting me and making me feel like a priority. Out of everyone I have talked to this whole process,
Ethan Young has been one of the best if not the best guy for me. We have had some great talks about recruiting strategy and player personal and he’s one of the smartest guys I’ve been around. “
Chip Kelly has been great too and one of the best things about this whole recruiting process is having the chance to meet guys like coach Kelly - we have a great relationship.
UCLA reminds me of when I was first got to Alemany. We were a young team that was kind of down and it has been great to help build them up and I see the same opportunity at UCLA.”
USC- “What can you can about USC, it’s QBU (Quarterback University). It’s a crazy stat but every quarterback that has started at USC since
Carson Palmer was there, that’s about 20 years, has been drafted. It’s a unique opportunity to be able to play in front of your family every week and that goes with UCLA too but it’s special to be able to do that.
“You look at the class USC is bringing in this year and it would be fun to see where that can go. I’m friends with a lot of those guys and have played with a lot of them. I have a good relationship with coach Helton and
Graham Harrell and talk or text weekly with both of them
I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at Alabama. I think he wants to be at USC but it could be a very crowded room there soon. Wouldn't be surprised if JT Daniels goes back to USC now that the transfer rule isn't happening until 2021.....
