That would be a nice pickup if we can get him. Forgot to mention that Cav is the OL coach at ASU. Wonder why he wouldn't want to play for Cav.

Maybe in part because ASU is losing players into the portal by the boatload, losing coaches and is facing NCAA sanctions due to recruiting violations. I hope we offer Veikoso.

I can kind of see that but they still got some good coaches and his position coach is excellent.

I do hope we offer and get him. He was one that I really wanted when he came out of hs.

It appears that one of Veikoso’s primary reasons for signing with ASU was because NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame OL (and fellow Polynesian) Kevin Mawae was on-staff (as a OL analyst) back in December 2020 (when Veikoso signed with ASU). Mawae left the ASU staff (after 3 seasons) in early-February 2021 (about a week after Cav was hired as the new OL coach in late-January 2021) probably because he wasn’t promoted to replace the OL coach who retired in December 2020.

“On the first Zoom call (offensive Analyst), Kevin Mawae and (running backs) coach Shaun Aguano were on the call. I know there were some other coaches too. It was the first time I met Kevin Mawae, and I saw how well respected he was, being voted the (pro) Hall of Fame last year, and how much knowledge he has. It meant a lot that he is a Polynesian coach that I know will look out for me once I get there. That really stuck out to me. That was a big thing.”

Seriously? As much I like Cav as a OL coach, how do you have him over someone like Kevin Mawae?

Not to mention that Mawae was already familiar with the ASU OL player personnel (those returning & incoming recruits) having already been on-staff for 3 seasons (2018 through 2020).

Bad for UH….but good for him since he’ll have plenty of Polynesian coaches & mentors (of the LDS faith) at BYU.
