A real tragedy for family and friends, West Point and the whole US Army. I'm pretty sure Mike played high school football with Josh Jenkins at De LaSalle High here in Northern California, and I have often wondered if Mike had much influence on JJ attending USMA. I seem to remember a time when company commanders were under threat of Article 15 if any heat casualties occurred in their command. Must be a real rare occurrence, however, given all our experience in the heat of the Middle East.

If you are keeping score on the race to see who gets the pledge from Rivals 3-star LB Isaiah Moore, let’s do a quick update on where he appears to be in the recruiting category.

As you know or even if you don’t know, Moore took an unofficial visit to NC State yesterday and he reached out to GBK to comment on his time spent in Wolfpack country.

“It was amazing,” Moore stated. “They're facilities were outstanding and the coaches really made me feel at home. I really enjoyed my time there yesterday.”

When we asked if his choice are still down to Army and NC State, he responded in this manner.

“I think that's what it will come down to,” he pointed out. “I saw Army twice, so I'm going back to NC State on the 22nd to see them a second time.”

GoBlackKnights.com will keep tabs on Moore’s recruiting activity all the way down to his final decision, so keep it where it counts.
