    Here is my glass half full take. Hopefully these "off the radar guys" like Rogers and Reynolds are the kids that DeBoer and staff evaluated while at Fresno, praying that they could keep the P12 from noticing. The kind of kids that get swooped away late in the cycle as the big schools filled out their roster. Kevin King and Azeem Victor were both MW bound until late P12 offers. Hopefully these are players like that. We always wonder how so many good/great players slip through the P12 and end up starring at MW schools. If DeBoer wants to claim all the kids he was hoping to claim at Fresno, hoping that bigger schools would continue to be blind to them, then I'm okay with it for his first full class. As long as he incrementally steps up his recruiting as time goes by. I don't know, I want to be positive because Jimmy and his staff are gone. I'll wait until I see results on the field before I go full on dark.

    Sounds like you care.

    Chico career stats. What a joke. Can't wait for this kid to give us 1 catch a game if he's the next Chico.

    I thought of all those words as well. Give me my full due!

    The comparison is because he’s short.


    I’ve also seen our UVA RB compared to every Polynesian running back that’s ever existed.


    But seriously, he’s the next Roy Helu.

    Does DeBoer realize he isn't coaching at Fresno St anymore?

    Doesn't look like it the way they are recruiting.
    They aren’t even recruiting 4 stars ?

    Chico was a good player on a loaded team and was never the same after his 2017 injury in Boulder.

    He single handedly (I guess KB's play was impactful too) ended the Sun Doovil streak.

    Had some free time and found some film of Taulapapa. His running style kinda reminds me of McGrew, but he is bigger.

    Some highlights from 2019

    Virginia's win over Miami in 2021, he has some good runs

    The McGrew comp is pretty spot on.

    The guy is pretty slow but he can break tackles and he gets to the hole. He works in a spread type system and knows what he's supposed to do.

    Sounds like we got Will Nixon, a 5'10" 180 lb WR transfer from Nebraska. In 2 years for the Cornhuskers, Will racked up 5 yards on 1 reception and had 1 season ending injury.

    Havent heard yet if he'll be playing the Chico role

    DeBoer must really love 5-10/180 WRs.

    Measured and rational takes are for dickheads. Not HH material. If I gave two fucks anymore I would be completely freaking out.
    I’m ashamed I wrote that. It was a moment of weakness for me. This team and program and coaching staff are DOOMED!!! I’ll be better. I promise.
