Pretty good film.

Now I remember that name I was wondering what happened to that dude

If I remember correctly Cal passed in him as well. Additionally, the 6'2 listing is being generous.

I remember a certain 5'11 player on WF who had a pretty good year. We could use another big body out there, I would take him and Prestwood (at OL).

Is every 5'11 DT going be as good as that though? Not likely.

 

[DHucks]

Can the dude ball? That's the **** question here. If he can bring his butt in, and figure it out.

Yes, every 5'11 guy is that good. That is why I posted it.

 

[BlackKeysFan]

dont like bringing in bodies just for the sake of it. We have King, Moore, Huertelou, and Wyche in that class, all of whom have some serious Jag potential IMHO. Bringing in a 5th Jag in the same class doesnt do us any good. Not saying he is that, but just that we have bodies, we need more than bodies, so if this dude is that bring him in and if not, next.

Aaron Donald at Pitt is **** good at 6'.

I am on the fence about this guy because he would need to be a change up the tempo type for UM's current style of play. I see him as a 3rd down NT/DT but Moala looks short, but has long arms an is very quick for his size. I have wanted UM to land a Pacific Islander for a long time, but this guy was dismissed from Arizona St the spring after he redshirted for violating team standards, an this was when they were extremely thin at the dline, but their beat writer said it had to be done, so it sounds like he was a problem in the locker room also. He chose ASU after having visited Miami on 1/21/11. Then after being dismissed from ASU he enrolled at a JUCO and committed to Hawaii to play for Norm Chow, but despite needing him desperately that deal fell apart when he wasn't able to qualify for Hawaii ( which has low academic standards, ouchhhh). So it was onto another year at Juco.

Moala will now have 2 yrs to play 2 yrs while staying academically eligible, given this issue an his height I think this is why UM staff has passed on him this time around.

Moala tries to transfer to Hawaii, but it is a no go.

I wish the young man would have gotten his act together a little sooner he can be unblockable at times, an I hope he doesn't land at Louisville.

Go Canes

Taking an exception and using it as a rule is bad argument. For every Aaron Donald you will end up with 100 Josh Holmes.

Aaron Donald ran a 4.68 40 at the NFL combine.....

They get better the lower you go..need some 5'10" or even 5'9" studs...hard to find though. Everyone's 6'4", 6'5" these days.
