You need to do it on your thread too! (talking about the Mims thread, hope hope hope...)

Dude, if Mims commits, the OP will updated in record time (assuming I have Internet access if (when!) it happens). Lets hope I get people pinging me to update it with a committed title.

If we land a few more Samoans I want The Rock to be at college station leading the team in a Haka dance.

Hopefully Mario is saving that one for the Texas A&M pre-game...

Samoans dont haka...The haka is a dance performed by "Maori" or New Zealanders

 

[Miacanes5]

where’s he going to play ball in the US? Maybe I missed it but I saw you say you were bringing him to a friends school

Shout out to @1murhurricane

Welcome to the U Frankie . Big build, hope he can make a big impact here

I didn't want to steal his thunder but he has been locked in for a bit. Huge potential. Like some said when I talked about him last year before we brought him over technique needs to improve but you can't teach his love for the game and his size. No bad weight on him.

I was waiting for someone to correct this.

The other great thing about recruiting guys from the Pacific Islands is that they usually have not bulked up on American fast food.

They explode when they retire tho and seem to die young.

See any islander that's played Rugby League at a high level.

Good stuff bro he’s massive and let’s just keep building that Aussie pipeline!

@1murhurricane, step in here and take your bow.

Lol happy for the kid and happy for the University. It's a perfect fit.

Mario's Bat Signal


@1murhurricane I believe you first brought him up as a prospect a while back!

Yes this has been in the works since November of last year. I'm working on a few more for us. Totally compliant of course

 

[CreativeCane]

That's the New Zealand All Blacks! Get your Southern Pacific countries right!

But I appreciate the sentiment nonetheless. All those guys seems from those rugby cultures have a mean streak, which is what I want on my o-line.

Thank you for educating me.

We are bringing this kid from Australia to a friend of mines school down here you all will soon see. He's a 6'7 mauler. I can giftwrap him home if Mirabel and Mario want him, Thoughts?

Went to New Zealand right before the pandemic. Such an amazing culture. I recommend everyone visit if they are able. So badly want to go for an extended stay.

Welcome to the U, Frankie!
I trust Cristobal/Mirabal will be able to mold and develop a young, raw prospect with this sort of size/frame/power into something special.
