Tanoa Togiai, 3* 2020 DL, Rigby (Rigby), ID (Offered)
Comments

Can’t believe they tell kids this. He was offered late because he is/was probably our 8th option. When the first seven said no, you got your offer.DoogCourics said:"Yeah, they offered me," Rigby (Id.) DL Tanoa Togiai told Dawgman.com. "It's crazy. I am way excited about it!"
The Huskies join several schools that have already offered, including Utah, Nebraska, Kansas State, UCLA, Virginia, BYU and Colorado.
"They talked to me a while ago then and then I didn’t hear from them for a while, but they just started keeping in touch with me again recently," Togiai said. "Coach (Ikaika) Malloe is the coach that offered me and he said their recruiting process is a lot different than other schools and they said that’s why it took so long to offer."
Now that the Huskies have offered, Togiai, who has already visited Utah, Nebraska and Kansas State, plans to visit Washington later this month.
"They want me to come up on the 24th," Togiai said.
With one more visit, Togiai said he's still keeping his options open and may take his fifth and final visit before making his decision on Signing Day (February 5th). -
Giving all the credit to recruiting coaches is so FS. If you really think Smalls is coming to UW because of Kwat, you’re an idiot.Beno4Life said:
I’m so perplexed by the defensive coaches’ recruiting this class.UDubHusky23 said:https://realdawghuskies.com/huskies-offer-2020-idaho-d-lineman/
I LOVE Malloe but is anyone else concerned Malloe only seems to recruit Polys well? He struck out this year so far.... im guessing Princely is not taking that last OV visit here with this offer and we lost steam on Stephon Wright last year.
After a near epic/elite 2019 class on all three levels, it seemed like every coach mailed it in this year (Smalls notwithstanding) and was just like, “Nah, fuck it, we’ll let the offensive side of the ball have their year.”
Malloe has signed zero.
Gregory got two DDY1s.
Lake/Harris did OK, but not good or great.
Kwat of all coaches signed the best player in the class.
Weird, weird, weird year. Ready for 2019-20 to be over. -

DDY hisself said this about him:
So, we just started following this kid - but he was first time all KingCo (I know, I know) as a sophomore.
Watch his hudl you idiots, the kid is a beast. If this were senior film I would be convinced he was worth a scholly, but this is sophomore film. Crazy closing speed. Great feet, a lot of power.
His RB film is better than Rich Newton's.

I realize Kwat wasn’t solely responsible for Smalls. But Savvy mentioned him often.RoadDawg55 said:

Still, tho, the point stands: This defensive class is weak sauce compared to last year.
To your earlier point, we just offered our 8th option at DL in January a month before signing day.
Since Jimmy and Malloe fuck, it’s kinda fucked up neither of them signed an elite dude, a la McDuffie or Latu or Tuitele, etc. -
Wait wat??? Kawasaki was not responsible for getting smalls?RoadDawg55 said:

I love Bruener’s tape. I think he’ll be a solid option in three years, and I’m glad we took him.dnc said:

But as a legacy recruit and WA native, it was a layup signing.
Whatever. I like this Togai’s film. Just wish we offered sooner and didn’t whiff on our first four targets. -

Just get him signed. That we don't have any dl signings yet is still a huge pockmark on Malloe, who I love.
