Orin Patu, 2019 3* BUCK, Seattle (Ranier Beach), WA
http://www.hudl.com/v/280WkUIt sounds like teams want him at BUCK. I didn't see P5 offers coming this soon. If he weighs 200+ lbs. next season, and he wants to redshirt, I think he could be a decent pick-up.
He'll be at the Opening this weekend too, so it will be interesting to see what his measurables are, and of course, the athleticism. His recruitment will take-off if he tests well. He's very likely ours if we offer him.

Is that legit buck recruiting strategy?
Take athleticism and add 40-60lbs worth of rhino cum? That will take too long.
Don't twist either. I never said it was a legit strategy, but at least we would land somebody. A legit strategy right now is the JUCO route or targeting the few and far between players in the west like Drake Jackson, who we would have a chance with. What's your strategy?
Recruiting a 6'5" 240 te guy, trying him there and eventually converting him into a 6'5" 295 offensive lineman after 3 years... That's not uncommon.
The buck conversion doesn't appear as common... but what do I know.
A kid like this very well may be a kid that develops into a P12 player ... but we aren't in a position where we need to cross our fingers for kids to develop into the players that we need. Different level of TBS shopping.
How about with this guy who looks like a carbon copy of feeney in highschool.
6-4
200 (needs more, but has a good frame)
4.69 (which for a guy 6-4, 200 who probably doesn't run sprints in track is flying)
4.22 shuttle (really good)
36.0 powerball (I'm still trying to figure out what this means, but whatever)
33.6 vert (pretty good for a kid that size)
I'm into him.
I loved you for days.
He can definitely grow into that frame. His speed and bend around the edge is pretty impressive for a guy who is legit 6'4".
Also, powerball is test where you throw a ball from your chest, with a bench press-like motion, while standing on your knees so there's no extra torque. I think it's meant to assess upper body power.
