it would make some sense if he was holding out for another offer but LSU was the only school (besides Miss State) that anyone was worried about and they apparently don't have room for Moore. Maybe recruits just enjoy the theatrics of it.
I would hope that we wouldn't ask recruit A to keep his commitment secret so we could use recruit A's absence to entice recruit B to commit. I would think that we'd start off on the wrong foot with recruit B when he signs his LOI and finds out that we were jerking him around.
True. I wouldn't want our staff using tactics like that. But I also don't like kids using us as a stepping stone to something they think might be better.
