    At the opening his official numbers are: 6-3, 361, 5.56, 5.02 shutt, 39.0pb, 21.9 vert

    Basically Tuli.

    Tuli wasn’t 361 one though right? That’s why we NEED this kid. 361 is on a completely different level than your typical big DT in the 330-340 range. That is absolutely massive and insane for a high school kid.
    That would be a perfect project for Socha. A kid that big runs the risk of eating himself out of football.

    I remember a few years ago, UW was in the running for a 5* kid named "Tiny" Moala from Grant Union. He ended up at Cal and 400 lbs by his freshman year.
    Getting to 340 from 360 is wayyyyyyyyy better than trying to get from 320 to 340. This kid could be an absolute wrecking ball.
    I agree but kids that big at 17 or 18 need a serious strength/conditioning coach. Hence, UW would to led be a great spot for him. If not on a program, they can get way too big. Not comparing abilities but look at that "top 5 draft pick" guy from The Dalles that Sark brought in. Under Ivan's tutelage, he was close to 400 lbs by the time Pete took over

    Per Roof, Ika is trying to make an unofficial trip this weekend and is trying to work out the travel with his sister. Also said he'll be taking his official to UW in December.

    In the 247 West Coast chat that took place today, the three 247 West Coasters made mention that USC and Bama are both going hard after Ika. He just made two trips to Bama recently. So getting him back up here will be quite helpful.

    Next Vea hopefully...could you imagine Paama, Ika, and Tuitele? Too bad bad we can't get bucks if that happens.
