I guess Graham improved his player development skills. Al Noga, Dana Directo, Isaaco Sapoaga...we've had more than a few monsters on D here. The transfer portal makes sense for someone this talented with little playing time. Good luck Jonah.

Actually, I'd like to thank Blessman for his awesome anchoring of the D these past few years. Aloha!
Ditto. Blessman Taala deserve his own appreciation thread for doing his job year after year with no complaints, no issues, no drama, no showmanship, no craving attention to himself. He just rush every play with all his effort.
Another guy I wished had stayed. Had only 6 solo tackles, but Oklahoma's Dline was their weakest unit in their very disappointing 6-6 season. Dline will be major recruiting focus as their entire DLine looking to get upgraded.
Jonah will get pushed further down the depth chart especially with 5* DE Adepoju Adebawore committing.

It'll be interesting to see if any of these guys enter the portal again.
I like these threads because it helps to keep up with former players. Ditto, grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Players always talk about how stats don't matter (in team). True, if you are playing.
I don't think any player would be happy on a winning team and not playing. They would rather have playing time, and lose the game. Laulu was supposed to be the star like you said.
This is where we say, they may look and built like men. Inside they are still young kids. The "Me too. I hate the coach, and going to transfer..." does not always work for everyone. Laulu would have started. Give it all 110%. May not change the outcome of games, but he would have been "happy." Just guessing he is not.
