I am not used to all this good news.
This guy was not on my radar at all
Radar doesn't work well in the mountains.
Pancakes!
He's the #1 recruit in WV this cycle. A down year for WV prospects as there's only 4 listed on 247 and all four are OL.
Feel like with Moore's connections to the region, it's fair to trust him over the recruiting rankings for this prospect.
I will never judge an oline on recruiting rankings and only on field success
This. Love getting more stars, but I'd rather have a good OL coach like Moore and a bunch of low 3*s with athleticism than 4*s and questionable development.
Braham's father was a walk on at WVU who developed into an all-american. Hope the son has the same development genes.
we have the meat
So uh.... we're not going to get arrested for having all these high ranked croots are we? This is allowed?
Roco died for our sins

We now have the #10 class in the country on 247.
The interesting part is that Luke's father, Rich Braham, was an All American at WVU and played in the NFL for ten years. In addition Luke's brother currently plays for WVU.
Sometimes kids want to carve out their own legacy.
Sometimes the best thing a Morgantown kid can do is get out so they dont get sucked in to the drinking with 50% of their high school classmates being there in addition to the prior year kids that are already there. I can still remember walking down the hill from UHS at lunch to the frat houses where someone's older brother was in, giving us beer at noon. They fortunately built a new school away from downtown but the connections are all still there I imagine.
I took the SAT 2s at Morgantown High and then walked down the hill to my brother's house and woke him up before going to his fraternity tailgate (and subsequently, the game). WVU smoked Syracuse 41-17 that day.
Our high school drum line met up with the WVU drum line before a game (was VT in 97) so we could see the preparation they put in before a game, we watch their field show prep then went to law school hill where they tailgated and offered beer and their ids if we wanted to go into the game if we didn't have tickets (all students could go in with just an ID, no limit to students but you had to stay in the chain link fenced area of the stands). Some of our drum line were high school freshman and were 14.
This is a happy thread bro why you gotta twist that knife?
Sometimes a kid doesnt want to play for a grade A asshole.
Apparently, according to his 247 page, Noah Braham has transferred out of WVU and is now at Bryant in Rhode Island. I was looking to see if Noah was an OL and recruited by Matt Moore, but it appears Noah was recruited as a LB/TE.
The older brother was there when Matt Moore was there, so I would imagine that the family did connect with Matt Moore with the father being an NFL OL alum.
I thought Luke's father was Anakin...
No, I am his father.
No, that's not true.
I will take any offensive lineman coming from Coach Kelly and University High. Its one position that consistently shines for them. Funny to see your old high school assistant in a kids profile. Go Hawks!!
How many Peanuts gang dancing Gifs will I need?
All of them.
The Morgantown chat boards are in full meltdown mode that this kid decided not to be a Mountaineer.
Had to chuckle alot of them calling RichRod "Fraudriguez"
In that, they're not wrong.
