Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
If the knee holds up, this kid will be a stud. A harder hitting BBK. He’s fast, hits hard, great timing on blitzes. Watch him in space. Looks like a potential All Conference guy to me. I’m really excited about him and think he’s the best young LB we have. He was the first guy Kwat was bringing up when asked about the young LB’s and said he played fast and decisive.
I’m leading the charge about ILB no longer being a problem. Rapp was the most underrated recruit we had. Ah You is making an instant impact this year. Criminally underrated as a recruit. There were not 47 better LB’s like 247 said. There were not even 20. I’m calling it now. 3-4 year starter that makes an all conference team or two.

I'm sure everyone has watched Heimuli's highlights too, but he's an amazing, physical player. I think he could be the best running back on the roster if he wasnt such a good LB prospect.
Anyways, between Ulo, Ah You, Heimuli, and Calvert (was going to play a lot last year) we should have good LB’s this year. I’m not too excited about Sirmon it Tafisi, but they are still early in their careers as well. Sirmon is just kind of a guy. Good size, but kind of soft and a step slow. Tafisi can hit but seems to lack the athleticism Ah You and Heimuli have. Both Ah You and Heimuli seem like play makers and both look like they have instincts in pass coverage and can make plays.
In his Hudl, the first couple of plays are amazing. In the second play he beats two blocks to blow up a quick throw to a WR and throws him down for a loss.
Heimuli is getting INT’s in his film. Last year will not happen again at ILB. Bob’s misses in recruiting, combined with Eifler and Kaho leaving really hurt us. I don’t think either would have been great for us, but they surely would have been an upgrade over both Wellington and Manu. We will be pleasantly surprised and a couple of those guys will end up great players for us.
And we already have Ulo who has already shown he can play. Five games is plenty to have enough evidence a guy can play. We were so much better once Ulo played. He had one bad play where he didn’t cover Moss against Utah. Earlier in that game tho, he also forced a fumble.he was great against Oregon State, WSU, and Boise State. He made some plays against Colorado as well. He should have gotten a chance way sooner and it was political bullshit that he didn’t.
Calvert was supposedly going to play a lot if he didn’t get hurt last year. I don’t think beating out a Sirmon or Tafisi should be too hard for a couple of these guys.
Don’t sleep on that dude either.
Right now it’s Eddie and Jax. Calvert, if healthy, pushes Jax. as does Hemuli — who has the most upside — if he arrives healthy and can maintain ~220+.
Ah You works hard; and tries hard. Unless
The first group slips or suffers an injury(s) Ah-You slots in behind them. Tafisi has experience — which obviously matters with Bob—and is best used in short yardage/goal line situations.
Jimmy loves Bob but won’t allow another —nor can he afford to— Manu level performance to continue.
Kudos to Hawaiians for not going on massive killing sprees because watching this gets me pumped to go kill people.
