But we Dont have any de’s

God, I willing to give up my first born if fucking Kawasaki figures out how to recruit

Just posting what he's listed at cause you could argue UW is projecting him as a DT or as a Buck and it wouldn't surprise me. Also the defensive lineman on the west coast are shit next year so I have a feeling this kid is gonna be important.AtomicDawg said:But we Dont have any de’s

I hear we are recruiting him for running back.
Ballz would be proud. -
Kei and Troy were both from Narbonne. Doesn’t matter. Sark recruits. We have no chance.Meek said:

He visited with the 2020 local kids this weekend, went to the game and stayed through Monday. Says he wants to come back and visit for a football game in the fall. Sounds like were more focused on him than many acknowledged (247 doesn't even list his UW offer right now). Watching his junior film he's a for sure Buck, adding him to the 2020 targets thread now.

Anyway, Malloe was the funniest coach on stage (Adams is a dud). He told some humorous stories and his comments about the interior DL caused laughs. Definitely can see why he is a good recruiter.
However, his pitch is completely tailored for island kids. He basically said his entire reason for being at Washington is because he sees so many similarities between Polynesian culture and the culture established by Pete. It was heartfelt, but made me wonder what kids from other backgrounds would think. -
Kwat is recruiting this kid btw. But thanks for the info, if you wanted to make another thread/post with any other thoughts/notes from the banquet I’m sure people would enjoy.Passion said:

Well, I suppose the "lesser of two evils" approach?
We have a running head start with polys but are disadvantaged with others... Take what you have is what i say and then sell the success of the team on its own merits.
Hopefully we can get a successful blend in the future... -

If Malloe can keep killing it with Polys it won't matter if that's all he kills it with. Poly is the most important demographic in the west, especially in the trenches.
That said he got Bandes so I think he can step beyond his comfort zone when it's needed.
I wouldn't trade Malloe for any recruiter in cfb. He's an absolute perfect fit here. -

- Coaches mingled around with guests before the program began, which was cool. Surely they all had better things to do than hang with 300 arm chair experts.
- My two fiends and I had a good chat with Millie. Very personable and very stoked about this class, I asked if any of the new guys would play next year or if Levi, Tuli, Tamani and other older guys would shoulder the load. He smiled and said, “ Oh yeah, they’ll play.”
- Coach Pete didn’t talk about individual guys, but rather talked about this class in general and fielded questions.
- Damon Huard MC’d. Enthusiastic, and a little dorky.
- dumbest question of the night from the audience: “what about Puca Nacua?” Pete just turned the other way and said, “I don’t know him.“
- Best question of the night: somebody asked about tight ends. Pete just said it’s hard to find a tight end that can do all of the things they ask them to do. So, some years they may pass on people rather than just settle.
- When asked about defensive guys that are ready to make their mark, Jimmy Lake mentioned MJ Tafisi and a walk on named Edefuon Ulofoshio.
- Lake also said he thought McDuffie was the best CB in the he west.
- Cameron Williams is a violent player, ala JoJo McCintosh.
- Gregory is fired up about the LBs. very matter of fact coach-like speaking style. Said Tuputola may be the sleeper of the class. Kid is 248 pounds! Over 30 pounds heavier than Heimuli!
- Huff said it was the biggest OL class he’s ever had
- Bhonapha is funny but I dont sense a great deal of energy
Will post more tidbits later -
Very interesting that Lake mentioned Tafisi and Ulofoshio. I'm sure most of us assumed Sirmon would be the guy to step in depending on the health of Wellington/Beavers.Passion said:

Side note, it seems pretty significant that Banks is the only out of state guy to come up for our junior day right?
-
Not sure that’s the case, but as of now he’s the only one we know of. He did come up with both parents so it could’ve been more driven by the family’s schedule than the coaches but it’s clear hes pretty interested.FKA_Mousecop said:Side note, it seems pretty significant that Banks is the only out of state guy to come up for our junior day right?

Tafisi's style IMO is more tailed to supporting the run game ... Sirmon's tape to me looked more like he's ready to play in passing situations

Doesn't sound like we're still in on Puka. -
"Don't know him" = FTG
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he not allowed to talk about Puka directly until he signs with a program? So you can do the Jimmy Lake subtweet (Dawg fans show this guy love etc) but you can't actually say "Puka is deciding and we don't know yet."Meek said:"Don't know him" = FTG
I mean, we know he's going to Oregon, but still. -
He's not allowed to talk about him directly, of course. He was just joking, I'm sure.jhfstyle24 said:

I was there and Milloe just seems passionate about the UW. That passion exudes out of his every pore. If your interested in the OKG schtick then Milloe will sell you on it. School, family, football and life after football. When CIM's time on stage was up my two friends and I all said 'Fuck I would run through a brick wall for that guy right now'. We are all slow strategy white guys but still the guy can sell what UW's got. I would say in order he is most likely to close out 1.Poly kidsPassion said:

One thing I thought was interesting is that 247 tweeted out some stupid in-season BS about the two best recruiters in the Pac being Cort and Malloe (it's a bad metric, but not necessarily a bad point) and Sav'ell said something to the effect of 'this is true'.theknowledge said:

- Petersen was asked if he is afraid of schools from other conferences taking away west coast talent. He smiled, rubbed his forehead and took a while to answer. Finally he said, "if I could share some stories, I would." You could tell that if had just one or two shots of whiskey he would've unleashed some shit about what happened on the recruiting trail. This clearly tells me that schools from other conferences (eh hem...sec...eh hem) were flashing a lot of money. I can't imagine that Pete and other coaches around the conference will tolerate this kind of thing for long. Hey Emmert, do your fucking job.
- Petersen also admitted that UW has played in 3 straight post-New Years bowl games...BUT LOST ALL THREE. "So we're clearly not there yet," he admitted.
- Everyone applauded Kalepo and one guy in front of me said, "great recruiter." But interpreting Huff's comments, Kalepo will be a project. Buelow, Luciano and Fautanu are all more more ready to play. Fautanu is a pretty violent player. Seems to love demoralizing people.
- Latu is an incredible specimen. Kwiatkowski said that despite weighing 270 pounds, Latu played plenty of inside LB and played on the edge with his hand up. Moves incredibly well for a guy that big.
- Both Latu and Trice looked like they will be good at holding the edge and collapsing the pocket. HOWEVER, my friends and I did not see lightning quickness off the edge. Joe Tryon looks like a quicker edge player than either of them. Still waiting for the stand up Haouli Kikaha-type of fast-twitch edge guy. Still waiting for replacements for Littleton and Feeney.
- Lots of laughs when Ngalu was playing RB and really terrorizing high schoolers trying to tackle him.
- Harris (DB Coach) showed a clip of McDuffie returning a punt. The kid is a 10.6 100 meter runner and simply has another gear. If he has half of Pettis' sense of space, cutting ability and how to read opponents' body positioning, he will be a great punt returner.
- Cam Davis has potential to be the big RB we have missed since Lavon Coleman left. Quick cutting ability. Good vision. Plus he is fast as shit. If he gets into the open field, not a lot of guys will catch him.
- Bob Gregory said that when Tim Horn (Kicker) showed up for the Polynesian Bowl, the other kids thought he was a LB. He is stoked about Horn, but Gregory better get his shit together when it comes to field goal kicking and the special teams (just my opinion).
- Pa'ama probably got the biggest "oohs and ahhs," simply because he is a freak of nature. If he wants to go past you, he is going to go past you. People laughed when Malloe said that he also punted.
- Gregory really stressed how Heimuli can cover a lot of ground quickly, and is a violent hitter. They joked that a few of our players (including Cam Williams) need to learn "the strike zone" when hitting a ball carrier.
- Fabiculanan can play both safety and CB.
- Harris said Asa Turner "has a body like Kam Chancellor." That tells me that they really view him as a safety...at least for now.
- Just want to stress again how well Tuputala moves for a guy listed at 249 pounds.
- Miki Ah You didn't play much his senior year because of injury (as we all know). But Gregory kept stressing how well he moves for a LB. They showed a clip of him taking a punt return to the house. Speaking of all the LBs (Heimuli, Ah You, Tuputala, Calvert), you can understand why somebody like Drew Fowler did not get an offer. My guess is that he simply cannot run like the other LBs.
- Calvert seems to get less attention than the other LB recruits, but Gregory really stressed how much they like him. Specifically mentioned his athleticism and intelligence having played QB.
That's it. Happy to answer any questions.
Fuck it. Moving this to a separate thread. -
Dawg Latu is quick as fuck lol. The fucker played ILB at the fucking poly bowl at 270. Stupid fucking take.
