In 2014 the only kids we’s have committed from our current class are Morris, Taj Davis, Tuputala and Ah You.

>How much weight does the average OL gain during the first year under Socha?
They will each gain 332 lbs.
Also, who knows this off the top of their head? Coker? Dennis? -
I was 9 during the '91 season. I had a huge hard on for Shane Pahukoa because he kicked the shit out of fire when he was a kid. In my young mind he was the ultimate badassdnc said:
Senior Tui is the only other offensive player I can think of who I loved as much as Dillon. Obviously Junior Stan Empterman. Maybe Lawyer. That's basically the list for me (too young to remember Ron Holmes or any before that).Dennis_DeYoung said:

My dream class is: Kalepo, Buelow, Elder and Fautanu.DoogCourics said:This kid has it made! Dad works for Delta so he gets free airfare. He's already hit Utah, Cal, Colorado, USC, UCLA, Vandy, and is at Duke today.
He says UW, UO, and ND are next in line. Had planned to be here next week but coaches are heading out so he's going to reschedule.
Grew up in Federal Way, says he still has family and "close friends" there. His mom is close with the family of Alameda Ta'amu.
Played RB and FB growing up, and I love him.

Kai Ellis was a good player for us. I look at your average 5 star JC player as being a middle of the road 3 starCokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
In my young days I thought Jon Lyon was the second coming... never again, JC players, never again! Prove it!RoadDawg55 said:
Wes Call was shitty, but at least he started on a Rose Bowl team. He's one of the better Juco guys we have had. I hate every Juco player until proven otherwise.Dennis_DeYoung said:
We need a picture of Wes Call and Opu Seminivage instead.dnc said:Dennis_DeYoung said:

Getting the #1 JC RB in the country is somehow different than getting the #30 JC OL. -

@NorwegianHusky was right the whole tim. We should fire Huff once Kalepo enrolls and stops doing all the OL recruiting.HillsboroDuck said: -
Roof had an interesting nugget about the UW's tactics for recruiting Polynesian guys (free):“With me it’s also about the Poly tradition –we watched a film about that. I have to carry that one. You wear your name on the back of your jersey and so you have to carry that name on with pride.”
Sounds like the UW shows a highlight video of past Huskies with Polynesian roots.
-
WHen Huff got here I was of course LIPO but never really thought he would be beating premier schools for OL and stacking classes back to back. He is a Metallica listening corn fed farm boy looking fuck. But he fucks hard. MetlliaHuff 4evah!

It is crazy how it is all about just relating to people. If he can pull a black kid from the hood the we need to put him up there with ikaikaSwaye said:WHen Huff got here I was of course LIPO but never really thought he would be beating premier schools for OL and stacking classes back to back.

Among other things we also created a Pacific Islander studies minor. We are the only school to offer that other than Hawaii atm. It is a big deal to the community and isn't easily reproducible by places like Alabama that lack academis institutions. Now we just need it to also cover the language requirements UW has...Squirt said:Roof had an interesting nugget about the UW's tactics for recruiting Polynesian guys (free):

I still have the sports page with the almost full page photo of him at the top the pig pile against Oregon with his finger pointing to the sky and sexy-ass abs on full display. My wife doesn't get it.......RealRhino said:

Somebody bout to die -
His team played IMG last night. Blair Angulo was at the game and said Fautanu played RT and whooped a 5* DEs ass who's committed to Georgia. He said he didn't give up much pressure and manhandled the dude in the run game. Also said he has Tackle athleticism all the way even though he's only 6'4 and he will be getting a rating bump up to a 4* when the new ratings come out. Called him a total steal for UW. Also said Sama Paama is a total steal as well (we know) and that he's a freak athlete (no shit). Paama will likely be bumped up to a 4* as well.

True but he's only rated a 90. Should be bumped up even higher by 247 which would make him a composite 4*.HillsboroDuck said:
