Your chance for revenge for marlon Tui husky fans. Names are even similar.

Between my half Hawaiian wife and these guys that USC has been recruiting...I'm starting to get pretty good at pronouncing Polynesian names.

Unless his parents are needing an immigration attorney I doubt UW has a shot at that kid.

What am I missing? Why do you keep bringing up immigration with Polynesian kids?
USC gets a 4* and the star average goes down. That's when you know you're getting some serious talent. Oh and passed up Washington.

Because that Poly kid you swiped last year (Marlon T) was told by an SC booster that his parents would be taken care of in regards to an immigration lawyer.

You need an Immigration lawyer if you're from Alaska?

Don't you just love when a recruit picks another school and fans of his former school blame money boosters , funny business and say that kid doesn't know the meaning of commitment. But are happy as all hell when their coach flips a player committed to another school.

If you go by star average UW is tied for 4th in the country. But it's early. USC only has six recruits and Miami has 19.

SC will end up with a top 10 class again if not top 5.

I've always found that interesting myself along with the claims that they're not at all jealous. lol

USC is turning into Poly U especially on the D line. The nexy couple years the defense will be manned by
Marlon Tuipolototu, Jay Tufele , Brandon Pili,Josh Fatu,Tuli Letuligasenoa and USC is favored to get 4* Tommy Togiai.

That's because your on the right side of the fence 90% of the time. It's not as much jealousy as it is frustration.

No doubt that it's easier to be a program that players usually flip to rather than flip from, but claiming shenanigans every time it happens just seems kind of petty.

Oh it is petty, unless there's truth to it. And I myself have no way of knowing either way.

USC gets the majority of their high profile players to commit days before or on signing day. Earlier commits from USC end up leaving for another school just often if not more of than most schools. The difference is I don't ever see Trojan fans on boards start questioning the player integrity or how they other school got them to change their mind.

But it's 99% of the time just sour grapes from message board trolls that start the talk and some take it as gospel and repeat it on other forums. The kid was committed to UW so he didn't care about an immigration issue with parents who've been here his whole life only when USC started to have interest? If that was his goal then why commit to UW without that help? Just doesn't hold water. It's like saying another school gave him money to decommit. Wouldn't that say that it would have taken some money for the first school to get the kid if that's what he's about?

Oh come on.........every team has a few fans like that

I've been a USC fan for a long time. For Some schools fans it's their first comment when a player decommits. Notre dame fans are notorious for that. UCLA fans are also known for that. Until these forums I didn't have contact with other schools fans but I have checked out some Husky forums (not here) and yes there was a ton of talk of underhanded tactics by USC when Marlon decommited as well as them questioning his character while Peterson was out trying to flip commited players from other schools.
