Just entered the portal. They list him as DL now and he is up to 290 lbs. Holy smokes.
290lbs eh? I think this calls for
There are zero 270 pound inside linebackers in college. Zero. And he's not done growing yet. You can't stop genetics you idiot. As long as he trains and lifts weights he's gonna easily outgrow ILB retard. He's fucking Poly. It's on his genetics. It's fucking obvious. He's a short, DT with short arms who will have to win with leverage and quickness. Elijah Qualls.

I once got a BJ in the back of an eighteeen wheeler at a Flying J off I-15 near Pocatello. Makes a ton of sense to include Idaho State here, imo. Especially if he’s thinking about majoring in Calf Roping. Excellent program with the local 4-H.
Interesting to see how this one plays out. This one could come down to UW and ISU.
Do you remember the guy’s name?
Tony. But to be fair, it was only $7.50. I also had to buy him a pack of smokes. He had COPD and was on a portable oxygen concentrator. Pretty hot stuff.
I really love him and you know when Eklund starts saying things like 'we aren't sure he fits yet. he could become a 3 down player, but right now he's a 2 down player' that the kid is 1) definitely a 3 down player and 2) We are sure he fits.
The kid's feet are insane. He could play SAM or MIK for us IMO.
DDY is basically a funnier, more entertaining Ektard when it comes to “evaluations.”
It’s all for fun but this guy actually thought he was skilled at it from watching Hudl’s for so many years.
2 crystal balls to Texas. Sounds like we’re passing on Tufono as well
I’m afraid the coaches are feeling a little overconfident in themselves to land the players they think they can get.. And doesn’t help our HI/poly pipeline to go cold on a highly rated legacy, no matter how recruiting services vs their own evaluations stack up.
Well, Heimuli did not include USC in his top 8 so I can see why the coaches are confident they can get him. Plus, if you have a pair of balls between your legs you wait for your top targets to make their decisions. We're in a new territory in which we're having to wait longer for a lot of commits because we're in on a lot of highly coveted prospects who will take their official visits and announce a decision closer to Signing Day. To us fans it's a bit daunting but to the coaches it's a part of the process of becoming elite. We have a team that should be really good and win most of their games again which will only help recruiting and make finishing with a boom likely.
Its funny because this is exactly what Kim was saying when Sark's recruiting was nosediving in 2012.
It could be true or it could be that CP erred by slowplaying some of these kids.
I would feel more confident with a Ngata or Heimuli committed. As is the current class is of similar caliber to the 2017 class and a downgrade from 2018.
The 2018 class wouldn't have become the class that it did if he hadn't slow played some kids and trusted the process and his staff to get the job done in the end. Ale Kaho, Taki Taimani, Tuli Letuligasenoa, Julius Irvin, Kyler Gordon all late additions. UW never panicked and starting taking plan B guys. We slow played Jackson Cravens in favor of Taimani and Tuli. We slow played Ben Wilson in favor of Ale Kaho. We slow played Stephan Blaylock and Halid Djibril in favor of Irvin and Gordon. Do you want a coach that plays it safe or a coach that has a pair of balls between his legs and goes after the best? Taking Tufuno is playing it safe. We want Heimuli more and we're going to get him.
The guys we slow played this year are way better than Djibril, Blaylock, Ben Wilson, and Jackson Craves It. Not the same thing.
There was a feeling that our strong close in 2018 would carry over and give us momentum going into 2019. Doesn't seem to be materializing.
Who have we slow played that's better than those guys?
What feeling? This is West Coast recruiting every single year. Most of the highly coveted recruits don't make their decisions until during or after the season. It makes zero sense to think the 2018 recruiting momentum would carry over into the Spring and Summer. Look at USC's class every year. They usually start slow and finish with a huge boom. That's where UW recruiting is headed.
Uhh apparently Tufono for one. The guy whose thread we are in?
Also you are being intentionally blind to the fact that the highly coveted recruit we had the best chance for just committed to fucking Clemson!!!
Why because Tufuno is rated a 4-star? We don't know how any of those guys we slow played last class will turn out in college. Chances are some of them will turn out to be better players than Tufuno.
I'm not blind to it at all. Everybody takes losses. And Ngata's not the only highly coveted recruit we're recruiting. He's one of many. And he's not the guy we had the best chance at getting. Ever since he visited Clemson he's been trending that way. He never even took a Spring or Summer visit to UW.
I think UW is going to land Buelow, Heimuli, Tuitele, Wright, Vimahi, Trice, and Bandes so there's really no reason for me to freak out about losing Ngata and think we all of a sudden suck at recruiting again and won't sign a class as good as the 2018 class.
Remember that this bored didnt hit full suicide watch/ meltdown mode last year until the offer and commitment of Mosiah Liu. That was late November. We still have a few months of this to go.
Reading this thread is crazy. Liu is better than every one of our DL right now. Every single take on this thread, myself included, was wrong.
