Zion Tupuola-Fetui, 3* 2018 BUCK, Pearl City, HI (COMMITTED)

We are first offer and this guy is rare as fuck. He has no idea what he is doing yet but holy shit does he have a high ceiling.

And he clearly loves winners. Get this guy, please.

Gets an Oregon offer in 5....4....3....

Agreed, this guy is pure upside. Doesn't know what the fuck he's doing with his hands, but he's explosive and an easy mover. I hope getting an early jump on this guy is in our favor.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:

Yup, he just kinda runs into blockers, it's hilarious. But holy fuck can this guy be a great player. His initial burst is so impressive. Whenever @Dennis_DeYoung wakes up and sees this guy he's gonna be floored.FKA_Mousecop said:

DDY 2 (High) -
6'4" 250lbs the twatters say either DL or OLB. Which is it?
-
I see him as a BUCK personally.
-
Yeah, I think BUCK would be very likely, but if not, he could easily get to 275-285 and be a down lineman too.

On a sidenote, this guy tweets at every new recruit offered with a picture of his grandson. Trying to pimp him out for commits it seems.

What's the most compelling thing for 17 year olds? A little white kid with a rubber football! -
He's a DE with OLB speed. Looks like he can be our next punter too.

Comet Pizza? -
This dude is so light on his feet. He's like the Hawaiian Ali Gaye: he can't play football, but obviously wants to and has rare physical characteristics.
Looks like a DE to me!!
DDY 2 (high potential, though) -
Our defense has a DE?Dennis_DeYoung said:This dude is so light on his feet. He's like the Hawaiian Ali Gaye: he can't play football, but obviously wants to and has rare physical characteristics.

All I hear is SC, Florida State and Gary Glitter
-
The only thing I worry about is it looks like he plays against the same competition Shane Brostek played against.

The main reason he's a solid prospect is his height/weight/speed attributes. I'm not sure in this instance the level of competition really matters too much because of that. He's raw regardless.bananasnblondes said:The only thing I worry about is it looks like he plays against the same competition Shane Brostek played against.

We're generally well positioned to take raw athletic prospects that need to get coached up because we don't need guys in general to play much their first 2 years on campus and in general our coaching is at an above average to elite level.

Well I wouldn't go quite that far, but I agree with the general principle.Dennis_DeYoung said:

The competition all sucks.
If you can't build in a fucking sliding scale for throwing kids around who are 5-9, 150 vs 6-7, 270 then you should not watch film. -
Outside of maybe 5-10 high school leagues in the country, the vast majority of high-end D1 caliber talent will run circles around the balance of the league that they play in.FKA_Mousecop said:

For example, you can't look at the film for any player in the state of Washington and try to measure how good they are based on the competition they play against. That's insanely FS ... reminds me of kids that played with my brothers in high school that tried to argue that they were better players because they had more RBIs or whatever.
The reality is that you know a high end D1 player when you see it ... just like you know a high end professional player when you see it when they are playing in college.
You aren't going to 1-up Dennis ... stop trying. -
Out of a million plus kids 8% will play college football but only 2.4% play D1.

It might have deeper meaning but it's beyond my comprehension at the moment.

I literally had a point/counter point to this but a tall boy interrupted and became another tall boy now we're here.10 pumps to the one who can solve it cause I gave up.Nurple said:Out of a million plus kids 8% will play college football but only 2.4% play D1.
