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.

Aranda knew him and his brothers when he was an assistant at Hawaii. This was Arandas get. Aranda coached his older brothers. Relationships

Huge get for LSU. Just wish he didn't have to sit out a year

Yeah I don't believe alot of people that posted on the recruiting board knew he had to sit this year. Needless to say I am glad he is a tiger and with these defensive coaches we have he will get better.

He's very raw aranda said. This year will be good for him to sit out

Question regarding him sitting out a year: Does he still get to practice and train with the team? I'm not sure how all that works.

From the horse's mouth..... yes.
You’ll have to sit out this season per NCAA rules. How do you handle missing a year of football?
It’s going to be tough, no doubt about that. I played for six, seven consecutive years counting middle school. It’s crazy and may have a little irony, but I’m actually looking forward to this redshirt year.
No. 1, I get to heal my body. I’ve gone through a lot of kinks and injuries and bumps and bruises along the way for college football. You really don’t get the time to heal. I get this year to heal.
No. 2, I’m looking forward to developing in a year under Coach Pete and Coach O. Even though I’ll be redshirting, I’ll be with them every day. Take part in practice and work my butt off. That’s one thing I’m looking forward to as well.
No. 3, get involved to the strength and conditioning program at an SEC school. That’s one more thing I will be taking advantage of. Trying to build my body to how I want it, where I need to be and what’s going to help me play at the best I can.
Those three factors are things that I’m looking at this year.

Hopefully, he will stay the two years of eligibility remaining.

That young man is Mature beyond his years.

He'll basically be a scout team player for this year, which will be good for him (getting to go against the #1 offense everyday) and good for the offense (having to block an experienced, quality d lineman everyday)

I can see him wearing no.18 his last season at LSU. I just got that feeling he will be a leader on that defense.
