not seeing what the big deal about Alonzo Moore is. sure, he might turn out to be great, but none of the coaching staffs at the major powerhouses thought he was worthy of an offer (the best programs to offer him were Tier-2 programs like Nebraska and Texas A&M)
as for LSU, we obviously took a close look at him, and he was invited to LSU's camp, but
he didn't impress the LSU coaches enough to get an offer ("Winnfield receiver Alonzo Moore was someone I thought may earn an offer at camp, but the offer for a receiver went to Kavahra Holmes instead")
heck, apparently Nebraska doesn't even think he's good enough to be a WR, based on what Moore said after committing to Nebraska:
"Moore says he believes his career will start off at cornerback. "I think I can be a great corner," Moore said. "Wherever it is, I'll put the work ethic in and contribute to the team."
finally, the recruiting services didn't think
that highly of him:
Rivals #22 ATH, low 4-star (5.8 grade)
247: #50 WR, 3-star
ESPN: #52 ATH, 3-star
Scout: #132 WR, 3-star
sure, he was a great player in Louisiana 2A high school football, and if LSU had unlimited scholarships, he'd be a take. but we don't have unlimited scholarships, so we can't take everybody
