I had never heard of Puka Nacua until yesterday, so I looked up his stats:

Better hope Apo doesn't see your post.

SJS

2/11/19 9:52am

Does Ross Apo get really upset if people ask questions about this kid's College

Richbyu

2/11/19 9:54am

Ask SMR

SJS

2/11/19 10:05am

Speaking of Ross, does anybody know if he wears heels?

mokelembembe

2/11/19 11:23am

There certainly is added angst, given the fact that he comes from a BYU family

Unibro

2/11/19 9:53am

This kid kind of reminds me of the type of "high level" WR that BYU has

Richbyu

2/11/19 9:58am

Also comes from a Utah family.

Dangerous

2/11/19 10:53am

He's a good player. Yes, CB has overhyped him.... knowing he wasn't coming.

Benfica1

2/11/19 9:55am

That says more about you than it does him. He had a fantastic HS career.

BW84

2/11/19 9:56am

Yeah, I'm not from Orem, so I didn't really hear much about Utah County football

Richbyu

2/11/19 10:00am

Playing down a division. Orem is toast now...

Those measurables are almost identical to Austin Collie at that age... which, of

He seems to be a very similar player to Luke Ashworth, IMO

Richbyu

2/11/19 9:59am

Timpview. Pakau more dynamic and going up for ball. Luke stronger.

cougfanz

2/11/19 10:01am

Puka went to Orem.

BOOHOLE

2/11/19 10:03am

i think he's saying Ashworth went to Timpview, not Orem as Richbyu's post seems

StarMan

2/11/19 10:05am

I see. I guess I read it wrong.

BOOHOLE

2/11/19 11:20am

Been there, done that.

StarMan

2/11/19 11:23am

Really?? Nowhere near comparable on offers. I'm not aware of Ashworth having any

oxcoug

2/11/19 10:04am

Ashworth was byu and Utah only.

cougfanz

2/11/19 10:16am

My bad. BYU's website implied that Ashworth was heavily recruited

Richbyu

2/11/19 10:18am

Also was recruited by Evangelical State College

This is an old and misleading trick that is very stupid that they use. I've

oxcoug

2/11/19 10:21am

Is that practice limited only to BYU or is it used by many/most other unis?

StarMan

Dissenter

2/11/19 12:25pm

Good question, I'm not sure.

oxcoug

2/11/19 12:50pm

yea, he had some hype for the time but only firm offers were byu and utah

cougfanz

2/11/19 11:09am

He had standford as well

PessimisticCB

2/11/19 12:42pm

How about speed for a qb trying to play a different position, say Tebow

RC Vikings

2/11/19 10:47am

He's big time. Looks different on tape than almost every WR I've looked at......

mokelembembe

2/11/19 10:03am

Thanks for posting. This tells more of the story.

Richbyu

2/11/19 10:12am

I've watched him in person a few times. He was a very good HS player. I think he'll be a good college receiver

jdub

2/11/19 10:22am

You didn’t notice that several of his highlights were against Bishop Gorman?

Cougar Rage

2/11/19 10:33am

Like I said, I watched him in person a few times. I think he's good. I think he'll be good in college.

I think the 4A criticism is fair...

The 4A competition was weak but he put up some of his best games against

They could've beaten any of those teams, not saying they would have but CC was

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

2/11/19 3:33pm

He's elite, no question in my mind. Could play D1 basketball too if he wanted to

palangi

2/11/19 1:24pm

Watch his tape--he actually reminds me of Kai but on the offensive side

LosAlcoug

2/11/19 10:09am

Good point. I agree after watching the video.

Richbyu

2/11/19 10:12am

If he would have picked BYU he would have been amazing. Since he didn’t, I don’t think he’s very good really and not

LOL. Reminds me of the "Lone Peak Utah County 3" from our basketball team.

I think Puka is one of those kids in Utah that leaves the state because BYU and

Pure corner is probably the worst position in Utah high school football......

I watched Puka play several times this year. He deserves the hype. I wouldn't

hoydis

2/11/19 10:34am

He is the highest ranked recruit out of Utah this year and his bro is a BYU legend. Makes sense that we followed him.

HarlemCoug

2/11/19 10:35am

Why was BYU not really on his radar? Did his older brother not like it here?

COACHdrn

2/11/19 6:42pm

I don't know.

HarlemCoug

2/11/19 8:34pm

Kai liked BYU. Puka had stars in his eyes. Also he didn't go to Timpview either

I don’t think those have been updated to reflect this last season...

If he has a nose for the ball like Kai the kid will be a player
