Got a receiver from American Samoa

Re: Get a receiver from American Samoa
I like this recruit. 6'4 220lbs and played WR and returned punts. Could be a weapon at TE.

Re: Got a receiver from American Samoa
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…….

Re: Got a receiver from American Samoa
i like the raw talent we can find in Samoa. 6'4 220, big kid, could see him at TE

Re: Got a receiver from American Samoa
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.
Re: Got a receiver from American Samoa
Defense, defense. Some how I see him chasing quarterbacks.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

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.uhwarriors wrote: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.

Taufa‘asau is not going to Washington State.
We'll know for sure in 13 days on Feb. 1st.
Re: Got a receiver from American Samoa
In ST we trust! Kid puts on 20 pounds and you got a nice sized pass catching TE... #GoBowsuhwarriors wrote:Stephen Tsai January 19, 2017 at 11:33 am

Someone needs to add a link to the article discussing the racism experienced by the Polys in and around WSU to his Twitter acct.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do.

Re: Got a receiver from American Samoa
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 Wilsonulua wrote:Any news on this recruit?
