I would be plenty happy Qualls 2.0, but we have multiple shots at Gaines/Vea 2.0 with Bandes and Ika still on the board. That is the only reason I might be a little down on him.

My realistic DL target rank is probably:
Bandes
Ika
Pama (although his ceiling could be the highest)
Jernigan
Ngalu

If anyone thinks we have any shot at Tuitele or Pola-Mao, you are an idiot.

I won’t tell you to kill yourself but delete your account, take your schtick back to Dawgman and never poast here again. Thx

I offered my opinion, but if you think we have a realistic shot at those guys, go ahead. I would love to hear your rationale. I don't think I'm the one being unrealistic.

Tuitele mentions UW about 15th in his interviews. He liked Pama's commitment tweet, but nothing else in forever. His twitter is massive wall of Bama, OSU, etc. Nobody has christoballed him to us. If we make top 5 I will be astounded.

It's a fair point that Pola Mao's provervial stock has cooled. He did like Pete's fortnight tweet, as well as a couple visit tweets. He mostly tweets his teammates and USC though. The family's account is 95% USC with tons of stuff about all the Pola kids together at USC. There were a couple of UW interactions. I think the only way we have a chance is if USC drops him. They will try and slow play him until the bitter end, and I think it's much more likely that we fill our class before USC pulls his offer, if that even happens.

Paama has the Vea body-type, but Ngalu actually plays really similar to Vea on tape. Though I agree with whoever said that his body type is more reminiscent of Lexy Panterra's less successful brother.

He's not an elite prospect, but he's pretty good. I would take him even if he didn't go to the same school as Heimuli, but if we got those two as a package deal I'd be pretty excited. Especially if we take a third DT after that.
