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

Better hope Apo doesn't see your post.

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

Richbyu

2/11/19 9:54am

Ask SMR

SJS

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

mokelembembe

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

Unibro

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.

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

2/11/19 9:55am

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

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...

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

2/11/19 10:46am

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

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

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...

CoachSpeak

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

Everytime he played against 5A or 6A he torched them. Bingaman 2x, Bis Gorman,

CoachSpeak

2/11/19 3:12pm

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

Yea they could have beaten any of them in a one off...

Number of times you used “would have”: 2

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

Zach Morris

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

Never seen either play. I hope you're right!

Yeah, regardless who is better.....they aren't that far off from eachother.....

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

mokelembembe

2/11/19 1:18pm

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

He owns nearly every Utah HS record in receiving

OK, that makes sense.

jdub

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

CoachSpeak

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

I only know I hated the dognpony show his family put on. Very annoying

Croweater

Looking just at stats you can question how good he will be. If you have seen him

He's legit. Watch the tape. USC and others have done their diligence
