Ohio Pete Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Reort from Steve Ryan on 590AM doesn't think we will get him. From what I've read it doesn't look too good. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 didn't think so either.....oh well.......... Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Too bad I really thought he would be N. Maybe we still get Bennie Logan Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 It's still up in the air but what does bid well for us is that Florida already has 2 four star commits (Herbert & Brown) coming to the school. If we have any chance this would be it. Here's to hoping anyways! On a side note: Herbert committed to Florida on the 14th of December. 2 days after Latu visited. Quote Link to comment

They did stop recruiting at DT for at least one guy: Nuckols down to twoThe last time I spoke with defensive tackle Edward Nuckols (San Marcos, Calif./Mission Hills), the lineman said he was hearing a lot from Florida and was hoping to set up a visit sometime in January. Nuckols, one of the elite tackle recruits in the West, has already visited Colorado and Arizona. He was hoping to check out the Gators but those plans have been scrapped. "It's just Colorado and Arizona for me now," Nuckols said. "Florida got a commit at my position and stopped recruiting me. This is going to be a really tough decision for me and I'll probably wait until around mid-January before I commit anywhere. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I really hope he watched our game and saw the kind of success that Suh and Stein had.... Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Rumor is he is going to commit to Utah. Quote Link to comment
BigRedMan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Maybe we should start going after Pierre-Paul again then Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Rumor is he is going to commit to Utah. After the win last night who could blame him. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I find it more likely he would go to BYU than Utah since quite a bit of Latu's family attended there. Of course, I could be really wrong on this one. Quote Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I find it more likely he would go to BYU than Utah since quite a bit of Latu's family attended there. Of course, I could be really wrong on this one. i would tend to agree but but you can never be too sure... being around a lot of polynesian people over the years family is really important to them... thus being close to family or atleast a community that is similar to their ethnicitiy and values is also very important as well. So if i had to take a stab i think he will stay close to home or maybe on the west coast... but his choses are so diverse he might be the kind of kid who just wants to break out and escape... so five minutes later i guess there is no real point in speculation....

BYU is in Utah. BYU is HEAVY with Poly players, moreso than Utah by far. I think they have about twice as many as Utah, IIRC. BYU is a straight LDS school while Utah is a state school, thus the whole 'Holy War' tag and why BYU finds it easier to land Poly players. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Supposedly he made a good connection with another Tongan commit to Florida which is why he was a Florida lean for awhile. At the time it was thought to be down to Utah and Florida. Perhaps the lure of playing in BCS bowl games eliminated the rest (BYU, Nebraska, etc.) Quote Link to comment
herbie4pres Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 committed to Utah. wants to take his mission from what i have heard. Quote Link to comment
