Re: Mo Latu?
We're not recruiting him any longer. I believe because of grades.

Re: Mo Latu?
Ok, so after a little research it looks like he's down to UO, ASU, and Utah. Yahoo is reporting that someone has emerged as a leader but won't the info away for free. It looks like he has a visit scheduled for the 28th with Utah so I'm thinking they may be the leader Yahoo mentioned. But over on a Utah board they seemed to be under the impression he was a long shot, so who knows.
Personally, I'd like to get him over Byers or McReynolds because of his strength, size, and general athleticism. Plus he's a pretty versatile prospect who could help out on either line.

I think he is a really big back-up plan for Oregon since getting him would mean Oregon struck out on a lot of the remaining names out there. He looks like a nice prospect that Oregon would take most years, but just misses out due to the depth of talent interested in Oregon this year.

Re: Mo Latu?
Regardless of that Yahoo article, the Ducks have stopped recruiting him. The main issue is his grades and not qualifying.

^^^ A DT with qualifying issues? Sounds like our type of guy!

Re: Mo Latu?
Good player, but I'd be shocked if he qualified. From everything I've heard, he has prop 48 written all over him. There's a good chance that he'll end up at Hawaii, New Mexico, or some other MWC school.
