It's a great addition to the squad

Where did his brother end up? Academic non-qualifier? In that terrible game against Kennedy Catholic, he looked like a monster. If this ends up being a twofer, I like the odds of at least one good player out of the family.

Bumpdnc said:Latu is incredibly athletic when he’s at a good weight. He’s not been at a good weight lately so his athleticism has naturally dropped.
He’s the kind of kid who is high risk/high reward. He could never get into good shape and be totally worthless or get back into shape and be a stud.
Considering the dumpster fire of UW recruiting I think he’s very worth the risk.
Also gives UW the inside track on Pete if he can make it through JUCO and that guys a total baller.
This is a good get -
“I picked Washington because I felt like it was the best place for me and my family,” said Latu. “To be close to home is important to me as well. Also just knowing that the coaches got my back and the players that go there check up on me too and make sure I'm choosing the right place.”
Latu said he’s long felt a pull to the Huskies.
“I knew this was the place right from the jump, right when they offered me at the Washington 7v7 last year,” said Latu. “Having that talk with coach (Bob) Gregory and coach (Chris) Petersen when he was the head coach.”
Latu let Gregory know he was in then told the rest of the Husky coaches.
“I first told coach Gregory but then I decided to call all the coaching staff and let them know that I'll be a dawg,” said Latu.
Latu said his family was thrilled he was staying local.
“My family was extremely excited to hear that I'll be staying home,” said Latu. “They always wanted me to be close to family but also choosing the right school, which I did.”
Latu said he’s working through a decision on if he’ll enroll early.
“I will discuss that will my family,” said Latu. “I find it important to enroll early just to see how school goes and what to expect.”
And Latu said he’s trying to expand the in-state presence in the 2021 class.
“I am obviously going to try to recruit the boys over here in Washington,” said Latu. “J.T. (Tuimoloau), Emeka (Egbuka). Staying home is dope but having all the bros stay on one team is amazing. We could possibly win a national championship in my belief.”
Latu said the closeness to home wasn’t an issue.
“Distance is not a problem,” said Latu. “I’ll always be able to visit my family and vice versa.”
Latu said he’s finished with recruiting, his commitment sealing him up for the Huskies.
“I will not take any other visits besides the school I am committing to, Washington and I am completely shutting down my recruitment,” said Latu.
And Latu said he’s glad to be done with the process.
“It’s a big relief, but I know I chose the right school and I cannot wait to get started,” said Latu.

Have Tracy Ford and Hee Scott weighed in yet on Twitter? They are usually very quick to congratulate and commend FSP kids on their college choices
