2023 New DL offer Samu Taumanupepe

[Canesfan_134]

Looks like a solid prospect. Glad to see we’re finally pushing after some more DTs.

It used to be you wanted some midwesterner with no vowels in his name. Now the more vowels the better.

Decision respected. We need a legit NT in the worst way. Can you imagine him along with Hicks

So in Mario's first class we may see an influx of Polynesian players in:

1. 5 star OL - Francis Mauigoa (6'5, 330 lbs and mobile af)
2. 3 star OL - Frankie Tinilau (6'5, 315 lbs and mobile af)
3. 3 star DT - Samu Taumanupepe (6'3, 380 and big af)

We're never going to load up with 7+ Polynesians per class. But there seems to be a trend here of going after these types of kids to fill the trenches. Love to see it.

And don't forget the transfer we got Sagapolu.

And dam Iuli who was silently committed to us.

Salavaea makes a huge difference in getting these guys. Why I wanted him so bad.

Very underrated hire. These kids will bring a toughness we desperately need.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

Probably a backup plan If we miss on one of Walker/hicks and maybe one other guy.

Not a bad backup plan at all…big haws.

Anybody know coach Joe's long term ambitions? Seems like a guy who could settle down as long as he gets quality family time and works with coaches he's comfortable with.

Doesn't seem overly ambitious (like trying to become a DC or head coach is a priority for him) but everything I'm saying is all just my opinion.

No clue but I get that vibe as well.
