Sounds like he'll be the first of many commits from this weekend's visitors.

Re: QUACK! Tomuhini Topui
I'm always apprehensive about position rankings for big kids when theyre still underclassmen (Byron Cowart and Dawson Jaramillo, come on down) but here's to hoping he continues to develop and maintains that top spot!

Watching a few of his HUDL clips, reminds me of Dorlus inside. Could easily be a kid who adds 25 pounds like its nothing by the time he arrives in Eugene too.StevensTechU wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2024 12:47 pm I'm always apprehensive about position rankings for big kids when theyre still underclassmen, but here's to hoping he continues to develop and maintains that top spot!

That's the key here is Mater Dei. We gotta lock down these west Coast kids.

Re: QUACK! Tomuhini Topui
Great add, 247 highlights shows a 0lay of him lining up in the offensive backfield catching a catch and going about 15 yards for a TD. I hope he sticks with the ducks, 2026 is a long ways off.

Re: QUACK! Tomuhini Topui
I think when recruiting powerhouse programs is when college coaches tend to get the laziest. They obviously have outstanding players, but being on overall amazing teams sometimes makes players seem better than they are, just like drafting college players from top college programs. Anyway, that's in no way a comment on this kid, I haven't even opened his film up yet.bellsduck wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2024 12:57 pmThat's the key here is Mater Dei.

Re: QUACK! Tomuhini Topui
This very much can be true. On the other hand, if there are questions about a potential recruit on a bad team, just see how they step up against programs like thisStevensTechU wrote: Sun Oct 13, 2024 1:10 pmI think when recruiting powerhouse programs is when college coaches tend to get the laziest.
