'15 HI DL Canton Kaumatule (Oregon Verbal)

[anarin]

What team is that? Because it isn't the Irish anymore, unless you consider CBS Sportsnetwork national tv.

Fairly certain they only had one game this past season (air force) that wasn't on a general tv station.

and you would be correct

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Most plus tv packages have CBS sports networks so I would consider it national.

I say ND offers every single DT in the country ranked 3 stars or higher and takes the first two that verbal... it's that real.

 

[PANDFAN]

Kaumatule's brother signed with the Cardinal as part of the 2012 class and Stanford has a great shot at getting the younger brother on board in 2015. Kaumatule has said in the past that if he can get into Stanford, that's where he'll wind up, so it could be just a matter of time before that happens.
INSIDER

What can ND offer a player that Stanford cannot, besides the fact that ND is a religious based school (which in recruiting is probably more of a hindrance than help)?

Weather sure doesn't hurt.

How are you not our recruiting coordinator???

 

[johnnycando]

Harbaugh ruined our chances at being great during this decade.

We're good. But not great.

Saban and Harbaugh.

 

[ResLife Hero]

Bumping this since ISD Intel said we're actually in this race. He would be a phenomenal piece to our D. Plus, Hawaiians seem to work out REALLY well for us.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Does he have a reported offer?

 

[koonja]

Rivals free bee. It's written by Stanford reporter, but it sounds like they've been on this recruitment for a while.

I'm checking out until he visits.

[zelezo vlk]

His brother goes to Stanford, right? I thought he was a lock.

This article mentions us wanting him and visiting, but doesn't explicitly mention an offer.

Honolulu Punahou School DE Canton Kaumatule No. 1 in 2015 Top247

 

[IRISHbluehen]

According to his dad, we offered.

This would be a dynamic, air sucking coup.

The atmosphere over South Bend would be better.

Notre Dame can give this kid time to heal if he needs it. Or promote him to play if he is ready. But this kid "outfreaks" Niklas. And has the same honor, desire, and potential leadership skills of Manti, from what I have heard and read. Someone else please feel free to confirm or reject.

[Irishman77]

WOW!

 

[EuropeanDomer]

I think he has the best highlights/film of any 2015 prospect. He plays so nasty and violent.

Agreed, he's probably now my number one want on defense. (And I really like Hilliard and Osa Masina).

More importantly, I don't want to see him paired up with Solomon Thomas at Stanford. He needs to join the Irish and bolster our DE situation. I wish we could pair him up with Cornell.

 

[STLDomer]

Only way he ends up at ND and not Stanford is if he doesn't qualify for Stanford

 

[Irishman77]

Imagine this front 4:

Canton hayes mokuwah Blankenship

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Not happening.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Size, speed, pipeline, etc all say DO WANT. Please sweet baby Jesus let this happen.

Kind of hard to root for a kid to not qualify at another school. I feel like a Miami fan during the AQM (Alquadin Muhammad) fiasco. On a side note, really wanted that guy to be Irish.

Trumbetti took a hike huh?

Says he's up to 6'-7" 290lbs

His pastor is an ND alum.

Manti and Toma have been in his ear about ND.

Being recruited by Peter Lafluer.

Plans to talk to BK via phone/skype this week.

Trying to setup a visit when they can.

That's a huge man-child

All this sounds great. I didn't even bother considering this guy after all the Stanford talk, but damn he'd make the class for me. A 6'7" monster coming off the edge with the bulls we're recruiting for the middle would make Saturdays a lot more fun for me.
