If Latu commits as we expect, he'll be our 4th highest rated recruit in this class behind Tuitele, Bandes, and McDuffie.

This is going to be a trend every year. All the lower ranked guys on our list will commit first to ensure they have a spot and as it gets closer to the early signing period that’s when we will get the bigger fish.

Some of you are fucking idiots. This kid is not a fucking Buck. He's as big or bigger than Stephon Wright and Drake Jackson. He's gonna keep getting bigger. He's the fifth defensive lineman in this class whether you like it or not. It's awesome. It's great. Another elite defensive lineman. Stop trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. He's not an OLB that will be standing up on the edge and sometimes dropping into coverage. Just stop with the stupidity. And stop mentioning Latu and Benning in the same fucking sentence. Benning is nowhere near this kid athletically.

Dood he can do both. It’s not about size as it is physical skill set. The dood is a BUCK who can play inside as well but doesn’t have the leverage to 2-Gap like our defense would like unless he’s playing no more inside than a 5-Teq. Coach K is his primary for that reason. We want to do multiple things against multiple teams. Against Colorado we played a lot of 5-1 with Benning being bumped inside and Tevis moving back outside.


He even talks about it in an interview where he said we want to use him at multiple spots so he talked to Gregory and Malloe on the visit as well when Trice definitely didn’t. We should be complimenting the kid on how big of a freak he is, how athletic and physical he is, not fighting over where he’s going to “exclusively” play when really it doesn’t fucking matter.

He's a buck. How many defensive tackles do you think we can play? Just because he can get to 300 doesn't mean he will or should.

You don't limit this kids physical potential or force him to starve himself to fit a position for smaller guys. He's a DT/DE all the way. He'll be 290+ after one year in UW's weight room. Not a Buck. We got Tryon, Zion, and Trice lined up at Buck. We're good.

We did it to Benning and for the same reasons.

1. This kid is bigger than Benning.
2. That move has been an absolute disaster and was made because we had nobody at Buck until the emergence of Tryon. DT was always a better fit for Benning. He does not have the athleticism or quick twitch to play on the edge. Latu does but will get too big to drop into coverage. Hence his hand will be in the dirt.

Malloe fucks. Kwat now fucks?

Kids feeling comfortable around other kids who can relate to them FUCK. That’s why an LA big time receiver would be super super super dope. Kids are fucking followers.

Whatever do you mean?

I think he can play BUCK in the 250-260 range.

I'm hearing that if Turner flips, Latu is a lock for us at safety.

Wait...you just said not to mention him and Benning in the same sentence and then did that exact thing while saying Latu is more athletic than Benning meaning he’s more versatile in space due to his fast feet and due to his length and flexibility, can rush the passer from the edge better. Benning is 275 by the way and 2.5 inches shorter.

Paging @AIRWOLF for some dope graphics to twit at recruits. Doesn't Lake have some ridiculous stat like putting 75% of his blue chip recruits into the league?

Edit:Fuck, thought I was in my tab for the Asa thread.
