There's a whole lot more to the article. Very good read on how this coaching staff teaches while they recruit.....


He’ll sit out 2017 in accordance with NCAA transfer rules and then have two years of eligibility remaining starting in 2018. He said he's scheduled to arrive to Baton Rouge in time for the start of the summer semester in early June.

Fehoko discusses plenty of topics, including the reason he is transferring (playing in the SEC appeals to him) and why he chose LSU (playing under Ed Orgeron and D-line coach Pete Jenkins appeals to him even more).

He talks about his connection to Aranda (he coached at Hawaii and recruited Fehoko’s older brother)

What really set (LSU) apart was Coach Orgeron being a D-line coach by trade, really helped out. That’s something I wanted to do — I wanted to be coached by that caliber of a coach and be around those guys. I’m happy and blessed and thankful for this opportunity.

It was Coach O, Coach Pete and Coach Dennis Johnson. We sat in that room for about an hour to two hours and broke down film, watched NFL guys, college guys, previously players from last year — Davon Godchaux, Arden Key. He broke down to me the system of what kinds of drills they do, how it relates to the game and how it will help me. I was just blown away. I knew I had more work to do on the field, knew I could always be better, but I never really knew how to take those steps, how to be in that position to make myself better. Being around those guys, real knowledgeable experience. I trust them to lead me in the right way. All I got to do is meet them halfway and give them all I got on and off the field.

Never ate crawfish, never had gumbo, never had alligator. Went to Louisiana and it might have changed the way I look at food. I came back to Lubbock and asked if they knew of any good spots that had gumbo.
