Not sure which CU coach is recruiting since I don't see a follow, but more importantly I do see an @KyleM. follow.

 

[Buffnik]

Moved from Alaska. Went from a complete unknown to getting an Oregon State offer after his first game. It helps when you have 13 tackles, three tackles-for-loss, two sacks and a fumble recovery with OSU HC Gary Anderson at the game. Since then, he took an unofficial to Oregon and he's got an OV lined up at OSU.

Want.

Soumds pretty good, we gonna get one?

 

[KyleM.]

Would guess he ends up at Oregon State unless Oregon or Washington offer. Just a hunch.

“Yeah,” Pili said when asked if the offer came from MacIntyre, adding the Buffs project him as a defensive lineman in college. “He said he likes the way I play and I have impressive film.”

Ton of buzz now. Amazing speed and quickness for a 300 pounder. Has a 15 year old 6foot 220lb sister who also plays football, but is really crushing it in ladies hoops. Starting to blow-up in the pac with these offers and looks from UCLA, Utah, Oregon (as mentioned by nik), Washington, WSU and now even Wisconsin. Secrets out of the bottle.

4*? Gotta update OP?

4*? Gotta update OP?

He's not a 4-star on any site. Though that is a 4-star offer list.

 

[Buffnik]

4*? Gotta update OP?

Just checked the premium sites and updated. No one has him as a 4*.

IMHO very under-ranked

A lot of upside. Hasn't been exposed to years of coaching. CU seems a good fit. We take these kind of kids and help them get to their potential. Jeffcoat and Leavitt can teach like few in CFB. At USC or UCLA he'll be expected to be play ready and could get lost on the bench.

That sucks. Really wanted this kid.
