Texas A&M Football Recruiting
Cedar Hill HC Joey McGuire talks Richard Moore, DaMarkus Lodge
Key quotes from Joey McGuire interview
"We’re going to be everyone’s super bowl and are going to get everyone’s best game this season because they’re playing the state champions."
"Richard Moore plays with the passion that you’re supposed to play with in football. It’s just a relentless will to want to get to the ball and be a great defensive player. He’s a very passionate, very emotional individual, in a good way."
"Moore is a very intelligent kid in the classroom and on the field. He has as high an IQ, football wise, as any kid I’ve been around. He’s really a coach on the field."
"Moore is a legitimate 6-1, might be taller than that, and he weighed in the other day at 209.3. He is going to be able to play at 225-230 with great speed."
"Watch the film of the number one linebacker in the state or the nation, and then watch Richard Moore. I’ll tell you this, I’ve watched all the tapes, and I’m glad Richard Moore is on my team."
"When Richard sees the football, he goes and gets the football. There’s not a lot of wasted movement. He’s slippery, he’s going to spin on you, and he’s going to set you up. He splits blocks as well as anyone I’ve ever coached."
"DaMarkus Lodge has all the measurables, so when you have all that, plus the talent and the work ethic he has, you've got something special."
"Lodge reminds me of Julio Jones because he is so physical in the routes, and once he gets the ball in his hands, he is so tough to tackle because he is so physical."
"When other guys on Friday are getting ready to go do whatever they’re doing, DaMarkus is already on the field working. That’s the kind of guy you’re getting with him."
"DaMarkus is one of those kids, that during the season, I’ve got to tell him 'You need to tell your guys that you need a break. You need to take Sunday off.'"
"David Beaty relates well with high school kids and parents, because he had to do it as a high school coach. I think that gives him a big advantage when he’s sitting there, because he can say, 'I’ve been there.'”
"A&M went into the SEC and immediately won. So you’re in the best conference and you’re winning, that’s a big recruiting advantage."
