We just offered last week, so we've got ground to make up. According to Scout on June 15th: “OU, Baylor, Utah, both Arizona schools (Arizona and Arizona State) and Miami,” Manukainiu said about the schools that are standing out to him.

Top five:

“Baylor, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Utah and UCLA.”

I really think it comes down to Oklahoma and Utah in the end.

What's with the polynesian influx for this school/area?

Interesting. Time to send Cabral and Tui in there to secure a pipeline :thumbsup:

Oklahoma.

 

[Buffnik]

Oklahoma.

Nice find. Too bad. This is a good football player.

Scout must have been really impressed with the Oklahoma commitment... bumped him from 2* to 4*.

To be fair, the 2* rating was completely idotic (but still).

 

[Duff Man]

He wanted to take other visits and it sounds like both sides are mutually parting now. Favors Baylor, Utah, and UCLA.

Longshot, but might be worth it for Kennedy to stop by Trinity before the dead period.

 

[BuffTuba]

Wow, if we have any shot, Kennedy should try. More depth can only help and his measurable seem pretty good. More experienced peoples thoughts?

Just down the street from Peytron Williams. Trinity is a powerhouse in these parts with a large Polynesian/Samoan community. Would be a great steal, they have a reputation for a real nasty streak and discipline at Trinity.
