Sam Taimani (Vakalahi), 4* 2018 OL/DL, Salt Lake City (East), UT (COMMITTED)
The chinteresting point is that he's gotten offers from both Bama (he gone) and Tennessee in the last week... I'm not sure which side of the ball we want him at but SEC schools definitely like him on the OL.

I'm pretty sure we like him at DT, given that Malloe is the head recruiter (but that might be because of Utah/Polynesian), and I'm pretty sure he said as much in an interview. Alabama has about 25 offers out for OL already, so more than likely once they get a few high profile commits, it will scare him off. Not really nervous about Tennessee currently. I guess it might come down to whether or not he prefers OL to DL in some regard.

We need reinforcements at both spots so hopefully he gets with the program.

I wouldn't read too much of anything into Malloe being the point person of anything ... wake me up when he delivers anything of noteFKA_Mousecop said:I'm pretty sure we like him at DT, given that Malloe is the head recruiter (but that might be because of Utah/Polynesian), and I'm pretty sure he said as much in an interview.

Malloe doesn't add any confidence that is for sure, and he's definitely not the reason why I believe we might be favored currently. It was just added to the fact that I believe that we like him at DT (which turned out to be true, since he said it himself in an interview). Tennessee likes him on the DL too, only Alabama likes him purely on offense.Tequilla said:

I'm more interested in how much sway Lubick and Kwiatkowski actually can get in Texas (and other parts of the south I guess), while being weighed down by Ikaika.

His interview with Roof reads like one of those interviews a kid does before he commits to us.

I know Coker fucking loves him. I think he's a DDY 2, but whatever. I'll take Saban's word for it, I guess.

You see him as DT or guard for us?Dennis_DeYoung said:I know Coker fucking loves him. I think he's a DDY 2, but whatever. I'll take Saban's word for it, I guess.

Vakalahi has said that UW sees him as a DT. I like that assessment.dnc said:
