  4. Glen WestSTAFF Posted on 61 mins, V I P, User Since 38 months ago, User Post It's a lighter weekend in terms of official visitors with just one big piece of the 2025 class making his way to town and getting the full experience with the staff. Wide receiver Dakorien Moore touched down in New Orleans and made the drive up to Baton Rouge to start his visit on Thursday. The five-star prospect who decommitted from LSU a few weeks back, made the purple and gold his second stop as he also considers Ohio State, Texas and Oregon as his final four schools. Here's the latest on his visit as he enters a full day of activities on Friday. -We're told it's a family affair this weekend with not only Moore and his mother making it in but a total of six family members, including his little brother, aunt and uncle. That's a part of this visit that was extremely important as the purple and gold look to make up some ground after Moore's decision to back off his commitment. -The first order of business for Moore was a marketing presentation on what the Tigers would be able to do in terms of building his brand off the field while a member of the program. That includes endorsement opportunities that have been popular for players like John Deere, Walk-Ons, Raising Canes and Gordon McKernan law firm. -NIL is clearly going to play a big role in this recruitment and LSU is willing to play ball with these high school recruits. -For this particular visit, it's also important for Moore to get some one-on-one time with head coach Brian Kelly. That happened on Thursday and it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the staff like Cortez Hankton, Frank Wilson and Joe Sloan handle Moore being on campus and how he could be a significant piece for this offense on the field. -The feeling around the visit is that Moore, his mother and the entire family really seem engaged early in the process. That's far from the most popular endorsement but the Tigers will keep chipping away on this visit. There will be a lot at play with this recruitment and while it's hard to feel good about the position LSU is in, what intel comes out of the visit will be interesting in terms of how serious Moore is about the Tigers going forward. -Moore will be in all day Friday before heading back Saturday so it's a pretty extended stay where LSU should be able to put its best foot forward. -In addition to Moore, LSU has already had Kaliq Lockett and Jaime Ffrench on campus and will have CJ Wiley and Naeshaun Montgomery in town next weekend and Derek Meadows on campus June 18. -We'll have more on the Elite camp that took place on Thursday afternoon a little bit later this morning but one quick note on a 2026 prospect Deuce Geralds. He's put on 20 pounds since he was last on campus during the 2023 season. That's 273 pounds for him and the thought process going forward is that LSU will recruit him inside rather than as an edge rusher

  6. Del Conte flaunts Texas' aura ahead of Southeastern Conference entrance By Olin Buchanan May 30, 2024 1.4k 2 Tweet Share DESTIN, Fla. — A little more than a month remains until Texas is an official member of the Southeastern Conference. Yet, with a contingent here for SEC Spring Meetings this week, Texas was… Well, being Texas. Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte appeared with the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum on Wednesday and immediately let it be known that the Longhorns are kind of a big deal. “Have you been to the Red River Rivalry? (Texas vs. Oklahoma game),” Del Conte asked Finebaum. “It’s ridiculous. It’s the greatest thing ever. “You may talk about the Cocktail Party (Florida vs. Georgia), the Iron Bowl (Alabama vs. Auburn). There’s nothing like this game.” The voice sounded like Del Conte's, but it might have been beer talking. At least that would explain claiming grandeur over bitter feuds between rivals that have won a combined 11 national championships since Texas last won one. It’s steers spreading bull. Inevitably, the Longhorns will brag that they let the SEC join them. Not that long ago, Texas and Oklahoma routinely dismissed the notion of SEC dominance. They said the SEC's power was really just Alabama, and everyone else was riding the Tide’s coattails. Remember when former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said the SEC was overrated? Interestingly, five different SEC teams have won football national championships since the Sooners last won one. But now condemnations have given way to celebrations. Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters how the SEC logo is being added to the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium playing field. He lauded the competitive spirit of the SEC. “Week in and week out, the challenges that (the SEC) poses for you… ,” Sarkisian said. “Whether it’s playing on the road, whether it’s game planning against some of the best coaches in our sport or whether it’s competing against some of the best athletes in college football, there are great challenges.” Certainly, Texas will find more challenges in the SEC than in the Big 12. Those days in which they struggle to eke out victories over Houston, Kansas State and TCU more than likely become losses in the SEC. Sometimes, those become embarrassing losses. That’s just one jolt of reality to await the Longhorns. They won’t run the SEC. Alabama and perhaps Georgia do that. Greg Sankey won’t be a puppet commissioner like Dan Beebe was back in the day. “When you have programs like Texas and Texas A&M in the same state this close together, it’s going to be fantastic. We’re thrilled about it. We’re looking forward to the rivalry.” - A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts Also, whining about “horns down” gestures won’t play well in the SEC. Texas used its influence in the Big 12 to make “horns down” a 15-yard penalty. That flag won’t fly in the SEC. When news broke at 2021 SEC Media Days that Texas and Oklahoma would join the SEC, a Missouri offensive lineman questioned whether it was a good move. “If you can’t handle a ‘horns down’ gesture, I figure it’ll probably be tough to play in this league,” Case Cook said. In the SEC, the competition is tougher. Fans are crazier. Stadiums are louder. Hatred runs deeper. Statements like what Del Conte made to Finebaum — even if it was made in jest — will only raise the ire of SEC fans and direct more hatred toward Texas. Or maybe not. Texas A&M Director of Athletics Trev Alberts looks forward to renewing the rivalry with Texas this season. He expects no ill will. “There will be no acrimony between the two of us,” Alberts said. “Obviously, we want to do well against each other. This is what makes college sports. It’s regional rivalries. It’s what builds the excitement. “When you have programs like Texas and Texas A&M in the same state this close together, it’s going to be fantastic. We’re thrilled about it. We’re looking forward to the rivalry.” It should be noted that this, too, will be Alberts’ first year in the SEC. He still has some learning to do
