or has he/we moved on. Was really hoping we would land him in this class just to get at least 2 OL's

Thanks

I like this kid more and more as I learn about him, Shalimar.

While it’s disappointing to finish the 2022 cycle with only two (2) OL in the class, I feel like we got two (2) great ones in Makaneole and Dellinger.

It sounds like Kimo is strong as an ox, and I love how he continued improving in his senior year. Check this out - I was looking back through my notes from the fall, and I found where I recorded his composite ranking of 588 on September 18th. As it stands today, Makaneole’s composite is 439 - a MASSIVE leap of 149 slots! That’s a 25% increase in the rankings that account for everyone in the 247sports composite, regardless of position. Anyway you slice it, that’s a big-time improvement.

I had heard Kimo was a really hard worker, and as far as I’m concerned, it was validated by this accomplishment alone.

Lastly, I believe Kimo will push for playing time in 2022. A year of collegiate S&C with Moffitt and numerous spots opening up across the line could be all that he needs to see the field in meaningful moments. Ultimately, I think him and Marlon MARTINEZ could make a dynamic duo within the interior portion of our offensive line, and I’m definitely looking forward to watching it play out!!!

He is signing after school. I’ll be at the ceremony, everyone knows he’s signing LSU. Chill out guys.

Edit- school ends 1:45 so brad is right, it’ll be at 2:00.

Want to share this story after talking to one of his loved ones. He only went to one camp and only got a couple of reps with another player and was never really given a true look by rivals or 247 thus giving him only 3 stars. This dude is huge and plays even bigger. Mark my words, he will go to toe to toe with anyone on the team. Reminds me of a young Claude Wroten.

Can't wait to see him develop and show everyone what they missed.

Haha did you go there?

Also, for anyone wondering, they’re going through some other athletes right now. Kimo soon.

I will, but you guys really shouldn’t worry. He’s wearing LSU every time I see him lately. His brother has purple on right now. He’s signing with LSU.
