My buddy in peewee football had to move up a level due to his size. He was a 10 year old playing 12 and 13 year olds. That was in 1989, before youth sports fully pussified. I'm surprised that a kid that big and that athletic, in this day and age of fairness for all, was allowed to physically punish the little kids he was playing. I mean, the video was hilarious and I'm glad it exists but, holy shit, that kid would probably start on most Wesco football teams. Offer now.
That’s “one happy family,” to borrow Tuimoloau’s terminology. They all live together in one house in Edgewood, about 40 miles south of Eastside Catholic’s campus — mom, dad and J.T., plus his three younger siblings, his grandparents on his mother’s side, and his grandfather’s sister. The contingent at Eastside Catholic games is even larger. “It’s like home,” Fetui said. “I’ve actually seen people there that I went to church with back when I was younger that I haven’t seen in years.”
His family never misses a game, and they’ve been known to hand out leis made of candy. “That’s one thing I love about my family: They’re always in the moment,” Tuimoloau said, recalling his grandmother rallying the crowd at his youth-league games. “No matter how old they are or how sick they are, they always cheer their lungs out.”
If we do not get this kid it is the biggest miss since I have been following this shit. Not only because he is a legit top 5 talent, but because of the family and poly connect. Just complete fail if we can't close this. Jimmy is on notice from the ETS.
Who is the last kid in WA that was this good?
IMO he's the best prospect to ever come out of the state. The only one I think has an argument over him is Reggie Williams. But I'd still take JTT.
And I absolutely FL'd Reggie Williams.
I'd buy that.
I was curious so I went to 247sports to have a look at their all-time rankings for the state of Washington, just to make sure I wasn't forgetting anyone. While JTT isn't ranked yet because it's not his recruiting year, they have Smalls at #1 and Williams at #2 all time, with ratings of .9990 and .9976 respectively. JTT is currently sitting at .9976 in their rankings, so they'll have him tied with Williams, assuming his rating doesn't change between now and when he signs.
CBs pointing towards TAMU. How come we weren't in on this kid?
Thevword on the TBS sites is that he's not very good. Another guy who was highly ranked early and already hit his peak. Many of his offers are not commitable. I like the guys we have better.

Does he have a twin brother?
