Post by Irse »

A highly regarded receiver from American Samoan has accepted a scholarship from the University of Hawaii football team.

Ralph Taufa‘asau of Samoana High will sign a letter of intent on Feb. 1, the first day 2017 recruits may put their commitments in writing.

I like this recruit. 6'4 220lbs and played WR and returned punts. Could be a weapon at TE.

Despite his American Samoan team losing both games this past week in the JPS Paradise Classic, Taufa’asau was the clear standout player on offense……while Pavihi and Ta’ala were the clear standout players on defense.

Taufa’asau displayed soft hands…..making effortless catches…….in both games......and as exhibited in his senior season highlights…….

He's really athletic and has good hands. He even returned punts. A 6-4, 220 receiver who will probably grow into a much bigger TE.

He'll be on an official visit this weekend here but is going to visit Washington State next weekend. His father said "it's just a verbal" with UH.

Doesn't sound too good. I hope we can just get someone else. Doesn't seem committed.

Someone needs to add a link to the article discussing the racism experienced by the Polys in and around WSU to his Twitter acct.

I didn't see him on the Utah list but would rather have Wilson if Oregon doesn't get him. I see that Portland State already signed 2 TEs and OSU is at 26 so we may have a chance with Wilson
