Right on Mavric. We consistently hear time and time again how important heritage and a community are to polynesian players. I really think that Phillips being here, in additon to the TE GA, might open a Polynesian pipeline but I think we are going to have to land 3 or 4 of those guys in the same class so they can connect together during the recruiting process. Once we have a group of Polynesian kids here I think we will win in situations like this. Oh well, great luck to Paulo.Sounds like those speculating about the Polynesian connections are correct. It actually came down to Utah (obviously) and Nebraska - surprisingly not Oregon. His long-time connection with Cav and really liking Philipp helped our case but couldn't overcome the larger community at Utah. Plus, there was always speculation that he wouldn't get too far from home.
