    The thing about this commit is that it is huge time to beat USC for a Poly kid from Las Vegas. I've never seen anything like it.

    In 2014 that would’ve been ‘oh, i like Washington a lot, they are a top school for sure - I grew up there so I have a lot of love for the Huskies’...

    ...next day ‘PROUD TO ANNOUNCE I HAVE COMMITTED TO MY DREAM SCHOOL THE USC TROJANS!!!!!!!!! #FIGHTON’

    So u saying uw can win a natty
    No, I'm saying we can eventually be as good as USC '17-'18.

    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.

    My dream class is: Kalepo, Buelow, Elder and Fautanu.
    Hey, I exist!

    If you are not a Doog you don't count JC players.

    We need a picture of Wes Call and Opu Seminivage instead.

    Getting the #1 JC RB in the country is somehow different than getting the #30 JC OL.
    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.
    In my young days I thought Jon Lyon was the second coming... never again, JC players, never again! Prove it!
    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 star

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

    DISAGREE

















    Didn’t we? take a shittier kicker in 2014?

    @NorwegianHusky was right the whole tim. We should fire Huff once Kalepo enrolls and stops doing all the OL recruiting.

    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 ikaika

    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.
    One of our? covert ops needs to get a copy of that tape.

    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.

    Paama's already a 247 4 star

    This is the player that Fautanu went up against https://247sports.com/Player/Nolan-Smith-83303/
    #2 player overall in the country
    Just realized that 247 has him as the #1 overall player in the country. #2 overall in the composite.

    Miki Ah You and Taj Davis were supposed to be bumped up to a four star too...Angulo says a lot of things
    I don't think they are updating the rankings until after their senior seasons.
