    If we don't get Heimuli I am killing everything. With fire.

    Just going to reiterate the things I don’t like about this situation:

    1. Legacy getting led on then cold shouldered
    2. Hurt feelings of an important asset in both HI and poly pipeline (especially with a ‘family’ situation, again looking at the legacy aspect here)
    3. We can sit here and say we are waiting on bigger fish, but why haven’t they just closed these big fish already? Quit letting them run around and make them commit already (see Ngata)
    4. How can they say offers ‘mean something’ when they aren’t commitable just like all those ‘meaningless’ offers for shitbag schools that offers 300 kids?
    5. Our lb depth is not good enough to throw all our eggs in one basket, let them compete and figure it out on the field, who knows if one of these kids will end up washing out or getting injured?!
    6. StrongBallz disagrees with me so I must be right

    1. Him being a legacy means absolutely fucking nothing. Nobody gets preferential treatment because of who their dad is (see Cale Millen).
    2. We're not throwing our eggs in one basket. We'll also be getting an official visit from Joshua Calvert.
    3. Our LB depth is pretty good. I've seen nothing to complain about when Wellington and Beavers have been on the field. They just need to stay healthy and will likely be the starters in 2019.
    4. This is what big boy recruiting looks like. Be glad that somebody with bigger balls than you is running the program and making tough recruiting decisions.
    5. Stop being a pussy.
    I like Cale more than Dylan
    His name is Cale.

    Nuff said.

    #TeamDylan
    Which one is the werewolf and which one is the pasty vampire? Because that'll affect my decision.

    From the UT site
    Like we reported last week, Texas has been surging in this recruitment, and we have reason to believe the Longhorns are now in the pole position. UT will host Tufono for an official visit this fall/winter and with a big season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Longhorns close the deal. I’m told Todd Orlando and Jake Langi, who has strong Polynesian ties, have done a tremendous job recruiting Tufono and his family and that they have bought into the program.

    Sounds like something Ektard would say. Unlike Ektard, at least this guy has the ballz to put in a CB and stand by his prediction.

    LOL. Whenever these recruiting "insiders" say "I'm told" or "sources say," they're getting their info from the coaching staff. Otherwise, the article would include direct quotes from the recruit or his family. No recruit or family member insists on anonymity.

    So basically Texas coaches Orlando and Langi are telling the UT recruiting site, "We're doing a tremendous job, our Poly ties are really paying off, and the PSA and his family are buying into the program, so we feel like we're in the pole position."

    It's the same reason why the Doogman dudes were always telling their marks subscribers that Sark and Co. were killing it in recruiting and every PSA had a tremendous visit.
    — I put in my Crystal Ball based on what I heard on the Texas side of things. Again, there is confidence around the program. But it appears USC feels the same way.


    This is what dialed in looks like.









    (I mean @Squirt, not the Texas queers.)

    Huh....late night Cristobal. Tufono to USC from Wiltfong. Texas247 "Insider" then posted this right after lol:

    — Washington, which was considered his leader for most of the process isn't a factor.

    — Steve obviously put in a Crystal Ball for USC tonight. We have not been able to confirm anything on that side of things, but there appears to be confidence around the USC program that Tufono is leaning that way. We have been told that USC is the only threat to Texas.

    — From what we have been able to gather, there is also confidence around the Texas program that the Longhorns are in a great spot to land him. Todd Orlando and Jake Langi, who has strong Polynesian ties, have been working extremely hard in this recruitment. UT commit De'Gabriel Floyd is also close to Tufono.

    — Tufono has not informed either staff of his decision, so this one appears to still be open. Texas is going to continue to throw everything at Tufono. However, this makes the decision to move up his timeline really interesting.

    — I put in my Crystal Ball based on what I heard on the Texas side of things. Again, there is confidence around the program. But it appears USC feels the same way.

    @GaryFromTeenMom and @DoogCourics should be the new mods of this bored
    I am thinking @Dennis_DeYoung and @CokeGreaterThanPepsi finally just went insane after the Ngata commit and are both in intensive care somewhere.

    CBs to USC from Demetric Warren & Blair Angulo. The big dawgs are casting their vote so he's going to USC.

    I wish we could take both Heimuli and Tufono but if I have to pick I'm taking Heimuli all day. Are we really that confident in our depth to only take 1 ILB?

    If he is truly gone I think we would have room for both Heimuli and Calvert if both want in. Don't sleep on Calvert. Kid is quite and doesn't do interviews but UW is all over him and he's highly interested.

    Just something to chew on here but had we known we were losing Kaho might we have recruited this guy harder? Seems like the Kaho fallout could span more than one recruiting class....

    It certainly changes the dynamic. Now there's potential space and if tufono isn't upset or peeved off by seemingly being 1a - he may join heimuli. Who knows
