Looks like Haloti Ngata the II. Can you say, "yes please!" Why hasn't Oregon offered this guy and what would our chances be?

Re: Viliami Moala ~ 340lb DT from Cali
I'm pretty sure we've offered. And I'm pretty sure he is a distant relative of Haloti. Hiemuli was also related I think. 
This is according to SamoaDuck or IslandDuck or someone like that. Whoever it was he said Mr. Ngata put in a good word for the Ducks to Heimuli.

rule #1. Never believe the database no matter how often the database is updated. The WORST thing about recruiting databases is the High/Medium/Low interest and who has offered. It's very hard to keep track of those 2 things.

Right now he is Cal's to lose, UO might be in his top 3 but he really likes Cal.

That's depressing. I really, really want this guy-if we got him, everything else would be gravy for me.

Cal's defensive coaching staff is very popular with recruits... especially D-Line coach Tosh Lupoi.
That guy has quickly become a proverbial thorn in the side of Oregon football recruiting.

Maybe if Azzinarro decides to retire, we go after Lupoi.woundedknees wrote:Cal's defensive coaching staff is very popular with recruits... especially D-Line coach Tosh Lupoi.

Re: Viliami Moala ~ 340lb DT from Cali
I hope not. The dude is like 22 or something....ok I'm exaggerating....but he did play under Tedford at Cal....so at best he's 27 or 28....No way are you a top tier coach at 28, Recruiting doesn't take coaching ability sadly....greenyellow wrote:Maybe if Azzinarro decides to retire, we go after Lupoi.woundedknees wrote:Cal's defensive coaching staff is very popular with recruits... especially D-Line coach Tosh Lupoi.

He's going to be a big part of the future success of our D.

Re: Viliami Moala ~ 340lb DT from Cali
I only meant if Azzinarro retires after several more (5-10) years at Oregon, although he has a tendency to change jobs pretty regularly.

Re: Viliami Moala ~ 340lb DT from Cali
I'd take Azz over Lupoi every sigle time. Lupoi's biggest strength is his video game skills, Coach Azz can actually coach.

Cal's dline was their only strong point last season on either side of the ball and they did produce a top 10 pick in Tyson Alualu.
