Crazy change from a year ago...GET YOUR MIND RIGHT!!!

We still have Bandes, Ika, and Jernigan (wonder if we would accept a commitment from him now) on the board along with fliers on Tuitele and Pola-Mao.

Wonder if this means
1) Sama Paama may be brought in as an OG if we can get 2 of the above?
2) Bynum gets a chance at WTE if we bring in 3 DTs?
3) Would we bring in 4 Freshman OL this year (along with Luciano making it 5) if Paama moves over to OL? (Please God). Otherwise there is only 1 OL spot left if Paama is considered an OG.
4) If Paama is an OG does it limits the possibility of bringing in Elder or Utschinski this year (back to a greyshirt discussion on them)?

If for nothing else, I hope this pickup helps with the poly pipeline! Just get Heimuli up when Brandon Kaho is around!!! Keep adding the polys and hopefully the elite ones follow suit!

Good enough excuse for some celebratory drinks tonight.

I really like Ngalu. Malloe and Socha have done such a great job developing this type of defensive tackle that taking an Ngalu or Mosiah-Liu every year makes a lot of sense. You can almost guarantee that Socha will work his magic and keep their athleticism while gaining 40 lbs.

At least it wasn’t Trice or Titus Toler.

Should I be concerned about what the fuck we are doing? I read about six amazing DL prospects we've gotten looks from, and then we take a commitment from a guy that on paper doesn't seem to be held in the same regard. Are we settling too early for "good enough" guys? Are we recruiting too many Poly guys? I'm not a geneticist, but I didn't think they were exactly known for their fast twitch muscle fibers, etc.

Shit, I was just about to accuse you of being a geneticist.

I know, that shit happens a lot.

Tuitele isn't coming here. Getting both Bandes and Apu Ika is pretty unrealistic, we probably won't get either. And if for some reason they both want to commit we can make room, possibly moving Pama to offense.

And there are no black lineman on the west coast, Polys>white people
