Thanks for posting the vid. He is nasty. He doesn't quit driving until his guy is down. I really like his explosion too. Great pick up.
6'6" 344 pound JUCO all-American lineman from a big-name JUCO program with footage like that, how he is a 2-star is beyond me.

2 star means he hasn't been evaluated; in other words, no film

I knew eating those Samoa girl scout cookies would benefit the program. You're all welcome.

I don't understand how there wasn't any film. He wasn't a first year starter from a podunk community college in clay country, Mississippi. He was the starter for 2 years from a popular JUCO in California with All-American honors. Someone in the previous page just provided Hudl footage of him. I don't see how that film wouldn't spark interest to further evaluate him. Also, his coach is extremely vocal in getting the info of his players out to the division I programs.

Those are my favorite girl scout cookies. I deserve some of the credit.

quote:have you seen film before what has been posted in this thread? Hudl footage is what the school puts up, if they don't before then, not much you can do. Who gives a frick what he was rated anyway? He was hardly recruited during until after NSD, clearly an under the radar prospect all around
I don't understand how there wasn't any film.

I wonder what position they will try to put him. G or C maybe, although he is big enough for OT.

I really don't care how high they rate him. I'm just surprised at how far he slipped under the radar especially in a high visibility state like California.

Hoko Fanaika signed with LSU
"Oline U".....great addition to the '12 class at, IMHO, the most important yearly 'area of need.' Hoko certainly has the frame....if he has the chest, we got a steal. the two stars don't mean shite....the two offers from UGA and da' gaytors says it all.

Posted on 3/16/12 at 1:08 pm to byubengalboy
does anyone know when he will join the team?
Posted on 3/16/12 at 1:09 pm to coldhotwings
I don't think he has the chest to play the game. I think he has TWO CHESTS to play the game. He should be almost as large as "Mount Driscoll."

I hope that they put him at center. That would be ridiculous. Our entire oline would be over 6'6 and 300 lbs. Throw in derek edinbourgh and vadal alexander and we are set. here we go

I wonder if Fanaika was on the Cali JUCO film we got from Lyles.
Posted on 3/17/12 at 1:16 pm to Captain Crown
Just watched the vid.
#1 he must have stock in IHOP cause he is pancaking fools
#2 He has a great sense of timing on snap counts, almost looks like he is off sides.
#3 Has better Hair than Polomalu<------
