Will Latu, 2021 3* LB, Spanaway (Bethel), WA (Committed)

Doing some early TBSing here. 2021 is "lit" in @CokeGreaterThanPepsi parlance.

Jesus Christ this kid is good. This is what Shaq Thompson looked like a frosh. Beautiful.

He doesn’t do it for me defensively. How tall is he? He runs like a TE.

I don’t like him either. He’s big and kind of lumbering. Looks like Jag that does well in high school because of his size. I hope we pass. He’s just not a good enough athlete.

Watch the sophomore film, he looks really explosive . I think he got a little heavy this year.

I thought this when I saw him play KC earlier in the year, and I still think it now: he’s just not great athletically. That’s why it’s hard to see him playing any particular position. He’s strong, but he’s not explosive. He’d probably make a good fullback, but that position died 15 years ago.

Yeah, I don’t think he’s a take or he shouldn’t be.

@sonics1993 said he isn't a huge priority anymore as he didn't have a great year. He was going to commit to us in October but the staff told him to look around.

Not that bad, but offering him was a reach.

He's Rashaad Penny, got too big and lost his athleticism. If he slims back down he can be elite again.

It's scary when a kid is already having weight issues his junior year in HS though.

Cause you got big focusing on your grades and now no one knows where to play you. Somewhere, someone is shaking and vomiting.

Another "future 5*" who maxed out athletically in 10th grade.

If Washington was serious about football he'd be on the squad

FireCohen

He put on some weight

Given out track record with LB recruiting Latu is a much needed layup for Gregory. Local kid who wants to shit purple and piss gold. Plays really well in space and comes down hill with bad intentions. If we were awash in 5 stars at LB I could see saying "we don't want this kid" but he's at least as good athletically as the average LB on our roster, probably better.

Tequilla

A potential reminder of why it’s wise to LIPO in recruiting

Also we shouldn’t take anybody because we are trying to get layups for Gregory or any coach

You recruit players that are good enough to compete at the levels you want to compete with ... that’s the standard

RaceBannon

This team needs kids that aren't soft fucking losers

FireCohen

So 81% of the roster need to be replaced

It was an obvious mistake to offer him so early. That’s the danger you play. Mark my words, it will happen with Julien Simon too. He will drop and end up at a mid level PAC 12 school. Maybe UW throws him a bone and if that happens, I agree with DNC that it will probably be at RB.

The danger of offering early is that sometimes a kid isn’t getting any better than their sophomore year.
