dudes are going to be Jason Buck, but some bad dudes are non-qualifiers out of high school. Star Lotolelei was a JC transfer from Snow (if I recall correctly). Now Star had offers out of Snow to go lots of places and Jason Buck likely had tons of options too. So the point may still stand if these guys didn't have big programs after them. But snagging dudes from JC can definitely be a good way to go. Here's hoping these guys develop into big talents.

If the Mulitalo kid is Ed's son, Ed was an NFL lineman for the Ravens and his wife was athletic too if I remember right so his kid likely has the genes to be big if he can find the drive, coaching, and training. Definitely worth a PWO flyer.

I think/hope Jay and Sione plus the Big XII give us a better chance than we've had in decades to land the future Haloti Ngata's of the world. Give him a full recruiting cycle or more before deciding he's more of the same.
