How does a gigantic dude with offers from Oregon, Tennessee, and both Arizona schools wind up at a community college in Utah? There's gotta be a story here.

I watched the Bethel v HuardSmalls High game which is the extent of my research but Latu stood out to me bigtime

It’s been highly talked about that he has major grades issues.

Grades are a bitch

as mentioned previously, and if you truly didn't know, grades didn't pan out ... sounds like he is a 4* for football but he needs serious work in the classroom to be able to play D1.

I have seen interviews with players who I'd bet good money couldn't spell more than a handful of three letter words. I'm actually shocked that academic issues of any kind are a barrier to a D1 scholarship at the pointy end.

I think academis are important but if the guy has NFL potential I don't see how three years on campus is a bad thing

He must have just straight up not tried at all. Or began trying too late once the damage was done.

You would be surprised. I played high school basketball with a fringe D-1 kid that probably read at about a second grade level. He once wrote a paper on my family’s computer that my whole family was astounded how little of a grasp he had of writing. It was like a first grader wrote it.

There is only so much you can do for some people. They still have to take the tests. You can’t write a perfect paper for them because then it’s obvious they didn’t write it.

you should see the writing samples of some people I work with who went to top schools like Harvard, Furd, etc. the entire human race is a fraud

Academis are important

@Ballz is high on this kid but he's probably a plan B in case we whiff on Voi Tunuufi and Kuao Peihopa

He's good, I'm just curious how big he actually is. Listed at 6'2 300, I'm skeptical

Huffman said his height might hurt his chances of landing more offers. He's probably closer to 5'11-6'0.

I like Schuster too. Just seems like an in state kid we wouldn’t want to go away and ball out for another PAC 12 school.

There is a Buck/Sam prospect from Archbishop Murphy named Josh McCarron hat has been awfully productive too. Maybe we are in on better guys, but he also seems like a guy I would hate to see go away.
