I dont understand why we dont recruit more of these polynesian kids. We have the Rock in our corner. When they come for a visit, he should just so happen to be using the gym that day, and it would be a done deal.

It doesn’t work like that with them.
it would be better for the rock and coaches to do a clinic in one of the islands or in a school located in an area with a heavy island population. Loyalty and family is a priority for them. You have to show reciprocity and we have to be the ones to initiate the contact. How many of those kids have we even visited or had families on campus?
Face to face with dads and grandparents and cousins. It isn’t just send and offer and visit his high school coach and then send the kid a text.

Did you watch the film? I just did and he's DL all the way. His Bosa-esque athleticism is wasted at OT. He's fast, agile, powerful, explosive but at OT he looks tentative and confused.

He's being recruited as an OL. He was offered by Justice.

You said it, meng. I lived in Hawaii 12 years and did some work in American Samoa. Super nice people. I got lost driving one time outside Pago Pago and I stopped in at a convenience store to ask for directions. Random customer overheard and told me to follow him in my car and he would lead the way there. Family and connections to the culture are hugely important (and doesn't necessarily have to be a Polynesian dude as a recruiter, Mike Leach landed a quite a few Polynesian kids too through his mormon connections)

Leach landed a bunch because of his old DL Joe Salave'a.

He is now at Oregon and a big reason they are getting a lot Samoan kids.

Agreed. Looks all the part of a DL. 6’5” 270lbs already? Thinking he’d make a mighty fine DT at the next level.
