    “I’m visiting December 15th”, he said, “I had talked to Coach Malloe about coming up during a game weekend, but he said he’d rather have it so he could spend more time with me and they don’t usually like to have guys there on game weekends.”

    Same weekend Apu Ika will be here and word on the street is Malloe is trying to get Faatui to come in same weekend. Believe in an update awhile back I saw Malloe was planning on using the same weekend to give Pa'ama his official, and I expect many of the other commits to come in that weekend as well.

    Sounds to me an awful lot like the December 15th, 2017. Visitor list that weekend:

    Ale, Gordon, Kaho, Culp, Sirmon x2, Ozzy, Dom, Spiker. Ended up working nicely for Kaho and Gordon.

    Faatui is a major longshot. But a class of Pa'ama, Ngalu, and Ika/Bandes (why not both?).... To add to Bynum, Mosiah, Taki, and Tuli?



    Why is Tuitele a long shot? I don't really see it that way, honestly.

    Years of training myself not to expect nice things keeps me from dreaming of Pa'ama, Ngalu, Ika, Bandes, AND Faatui.

    But if he fucking wants to come here and Malloe ascends to Lake Da God level..... Then I can start learning to have nice things.

    We are only losing three D-lineman to graduation. So probably a max of four in this class if the right guys want in. The dream is to get Stephon Wright and Faatui Tuitele and then go all in on Ika. I love me some Bandes but I don't see a need to take two NT types if Ika wants in.

    I think it’s gotta be us or Bama for him. And being 2000 miles closer doesn’t hurt. How much does the Tua factor work in their favor is the question.

    I don't think it's a factor. He said he's not going to choose a school based on that school having other Poly guys. If the Poly thing was a factor for him he wouldn't have eliminated SC. His top 5 is a list of elite coaches who have job security and are proven developers of talent. That's probably the biggest factor for him. After that it will probably be where he feels most comfortable which makes me think UW because of the relationships he's built with the coaches.
