Tuihalamaka visit report

Post by jhopduck »

LOVED his visit to Nebraska. Moving our trip to the 30th. Taking SAT's this weekend instead. May not qualify and have to go JC route he says.
Said we will be our last visit and expects a great visit so we'll see....

If Oregon got moved to the 30th, where does that leave the Fuskies... ?

AN AREA COACH ON SIONE TUIHALAMAKA:
"He's going to come at you on every play; he's got a really good motor. He's big and strong, but he can really get off the ball and get into you in a hurry. Against the run he can move offensive linemen sideways, close down and make the tackle."

Report From USC's RISING SENIOR CAMP
Sione Tuihalamaka (Gardena, Calif. / Gardena) was in attendance and had some good moments displaying his ability to get to the shoulder of blockers, throw a rip and power his way to the quarterback. Defensive tackle Justin Brown (Compton, Calif.) came on in the afternoon session. Although he was undersized, he flashed some good quickness and the ability to get skinny and work past blockers.

We really need to get a HS DT. Hopefully we can blow him away with our visit. Jhop, you mentioned he may not qualify? That's probably a big reason why he isn't being recruited as much as he should. If he qualifies and picks the O, we could get away with a steal here.

It seems since the Ducks have been burned a few times with guys not qualifying (most recently Wade and Thompson) they really are not pushing for guys that are borderline. I think with the interest in the Ducks program they will probably never have to go after guys with academic problems again because there are a number of other guys that they can pick from.
