    Too many poly names to keep track of, is this the Lakes kid?

    Steilacoom.

    Haven't seen his film but it sounds like he's similar to BBK. Will the staff want to take both?

    He has a highlight video of the gods. OK might be pissed about Turner heading our way. Maybe he is was the backup option and we would have offered if Turner went elsewhere?

    I've stayed out of this debate on this guy, but for me he is..... meh.

    So his highlights blow up because he is blindsiding 2A players on kickoffs, big deal. I think he is a good player, but I'm just not sold on him.

    a lot of his highlights were on special teams returns and running back which don't apply. I do think he could have value as a special teamer. He is Ikaika Maloe or whatever his name is all over again to me. Hips were okay but not great.

    Watch his instincts. Watch how he times snap counts. He has skills that translate at any level. A really smart, instinctive player who loves to hit. There is a reason Oklahoma and UCLA are offering him. It's not easy to get an offer from them this late.

    Au contraire. This is the time of year they're looking to fill out their classes with 'undiscovered' kids.

    I like him and I don't know what's up, but I will say that with Pete finding gems like Sidney Jones MMXIV I have some faith in him to eval these types of kids.

    I think the reasoning is that Ben Burr-Kiven is already committed. Bierria is still here for another three years too. Leitau is another undersized LB. We'll see though. There is still a month and a half for Leitau to get an offer.

    I'd rather them take this kid, even though we have another guy st his position committed, than the plan C D-line kid they'll likely offer after Fotu commits to Zona.
