5 star Linebacker enters the portal: USC LB Palaie Gaoteote (now w/ 90% more inevitable whining over LB recruiting)

[BS85]

If these young cats can’t beat out 44 and 53 then they are cheeks too and we need portals LBs in the worst way

They're better, the coaches just won't play them

They do this all the time. Look at Couch...looks like our best cb by far...how long did it take him to get significant pt.

 

[Canesdragon]

If y'all are still interested him, I do not think he's as good as an ILB with his slow reads. BUT if he moves to the outside as an edge rusher he could be a great replacement for Phillips and Roche. Dude is only 6-2 though which is the smaller side for edge rushers and the other DE we have on the roster.

Good potential but I have doubts on Baker, Manny, and Patke to actually develop him giving the track record they have so far.

Would love for this kid to come here, we need to more bodies on the sideline for spontaneous celebration as 53 and 44 keep trotting out on the field and running face first into the OL

Yeah, seriously lacking in the dance team this past year. Maybe 2019 collapse proved it was not worth the time and expense, hiring professional choreographers and all.

Y'all letting the 5 stars blind y'all, he's a average linebacker

 

[The Real Kirk Lazarus]

Y'all letting the 5 stars blind y'all, he's a average linebacker

Which makes him significantly better than what we have

I can 100% tell that dude this gaoteote is above average and that’s a millions times better than 53 and 44 who are dog ****e

Exactly. It’s like being offered water in a desert and saying I prefer Perrier.

Michigan State

Michigan State

Sure you're not confusing him with his brother?

Everything I've been reading and hearing has him leaning towards Michigan State because his brother plays there, didn't sound to promising

 

[Bubbacane10]

He’s going to MSU
