in The Fisching Hole (Recruiting)
With us punting on DL recruiting this cycle, next year's class is critical to get our numbers back up. Mosiah and Clark are gone, Levi/Bronson will be gone after next year if not sooner, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couch sale from Draco so we'll need at least 4 DL in '21. Obviously JTT is the big one but there's several other talented Poly DLs in next year's class that we're in on.

JT Tuimoloau: PLEASE GOD
Voi Tunuufi : Same high school as Taki. EKtard compares him to Noa Ngalu but more athletic.
Kuao Peihopa: Big OL/DL from Hawaii, will play DL in college. Seen some comparisons to Taki.
Victory Vaka: No offer yet but Ektard and Sonics say we're evaluating. Has the size to be the run stuffing 1 tech in the middle a la Tuli.

Obviously we want Foreman too but that may be a pipe dream. I'd be fine with we land these 4 Poly players and call it good. With JTT as the cornerstone, this DL class will be even better than the '18 class. Someone send Jimmy a Tommy Bahama gift card.

    Any 265lb poly high school running backs that have the frame to add 90-100 lbs and keep their athleticism?

    JTT is probably the closest thing we'll get to another Vita in terms of size and athleticism. Pa'ama is a freak too.

    Holy shit some Aussie mums just out there watching their kids get rag dolled.

    Respect.

    There would be lawsuits in Mericuh.

    If this didn't whoosh me every time, I'd maybe break loose a chin.

    JTT couldn’t sound any more Poly than this. Sounds like he’d have 50-plus family members at all his games as a Dawg in Husky Stadium. PLEASE GOD.

    Caple’s piece today on JTT proves as much.

    https://theathletic.com/1466052/2019/12/17/j-t-tuimoloau-201-recruit-jewel-of-class-washington/

    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.”
