'18 CA OLB Solomon Tuliaupupu (Offer)

[Henges24]

"While at Notre Dame, me and Lennay remained completely abstinent"

Fvcking gold

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I know one guy that thinks ND is currently in better position to get the commitment than USC. He's not a recruiting guy or a beat reporter, but he's heard something that makes him think ND is in the driver's seat... but he won't say what it is.

I think everyone who believes ND can pull it out is suffering from JuJu Smith Schuster Syndrome, but I'm just a random dude on the internet, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before Juju Smith syndrome some of you may remember Byron Moore. Moore was the original Juju Smith syndrome. I honestly was floored on signing day when he signed with SC...sigh

"While at Notre Dame, me and Lennay remained completely abstinent"

That is cold.

When was his in home? SIAP.

 

[beryirish]

It was on Tuesday.

 

[BeauBenken]

Solomon looks absolutely huge.

Not visiting Oklahoma this weekend.

https://thefootballbrainiacs.com/open-post-weekend-january-26th-28th

– I caught up with, Turnbull Tuliaupupu, the father of 2018 CA LB Solomon “Solo” Tuliaupupu. Solo was expected to take a official visit to Oklahoma this upcoming weekend. His father says that there has been a “change of plans” and they will no longer visit. Turnbull did say that Oklahoma is now “unfortunately, out of the mix”.

 

[koonja]

ND or USC. Let's pull the upset!

 

[Southside Sully]

His Old Man is an ox as well. I hope Polian left stories of Manti and his rise to greatness at ND, and a Heisman finalist, before hoax all over that families house!!

 

[Me2SouthBend]

That would be a sick LB class. Just Sol and Lamb alone would be beastly.

 

[Luckylucci]

If we somehow land Solo, it would certainly be one of the better LB classes of the recent recruiting era (rivals, scout, etc.).

The sister looks more athletic....wonder if Lea was thinking Rover?

 

[dublinirish]

Pupu is my number 1 want for the remainder of this cycle.

 

[Rizzophil]

It’s just one of those things where it’s running neck and neck. But USC still has to be considered the favorite. Hope we pull through

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

If we somehow land Solo, it would certainly be one of the better LB classes of the recent recruiting era (rivals, scout, etc.).

To be clear, what you are saying, and I agree with, is that if we land Pupu we will have one of the highest rated LB classes in recruiting history, yes? Or at least in the modern era?

 

[Irish#1]

I'm starting to get a little excited.

 

[KizerWilhelm]

"“So, like any father, I asked Clark the tough questions,” said Turnbull. “My questions were, how will you use him, who's coming back, who leaves, what are the chances he starts as a freshman. I asked all that. Lea is just standing there in the living room and he looks at me, comes over to me, and says, ‘do you mind?’ and I said no. He actually grabs me physically to show me how he will use Solo. He’s moving us around, while he’s standing there and showing us how he’ll coach my son and how he’ll use him. It was amazing."

I guess hitting on dad is one way to gain favor, lol

 

[NDty9]

LOVE that from Lea! Perhaps we just hired Elko's Scheme with better recruiting?!?!

Wowzers.

Whoever gets PooPoo wins the 2018 LB Haul Championship.

If SC adds him to:

5* IE Gaoteote
4* Kanai Mauga
4* Ray Scott

... they get the crown.

I wouldn't trade ND's 4 for their's but as for 247, they'd be the winner.

Yep. That class would be the sh!t.

I should've been more specific, my bad. I meant for ND. Our best in recent memory. I think there are probably some UGA, Bama, Clemson classes recently that were better than this one.

 

[stlnd01]

how will you use him, who's coming back, who leaves, what are the chances he starts as a freshman.

What does he play in our LB system? Buck? Mike?
Unlikely he starts over Coney or Tranquil, obvs, but they’ll be gone in 2019...

Coney and Martini both did a good job of rotating between Buck and Mike when needed in '17, so maybe they're telling him he can be the third man in a three-man rotation right away in '18, since there's a record of a rotation that works. Then he's THE MAN in '19.

 

[Luckylucci]

For both Lamb and Solo, should he come to ND. I feel pretty confident in saying to either, you won't start as freshman, but will get playing time. Work hard over the next 1-2 years, and you will more than likely start as a Sophomore. 2 years of starting snaps on the table, which gives you the NFL option after your Junior season.

Lets say this is accurate (which I agree, it is), what does USC offer in regard to those same questions?

Clay Helton

 

[alaskatrojan]

Hopefully as an SC fan we close him this weekend. He is on an official visit to SC with Amon Ra JT Daniels and Palaie Gaoteote this weekend. So I’m praying they close the deal on this one. Clay Helton still has his in home if I’m not mistaken as well. On a side not Amon Ra and Julius Irvin are friends from when they went to Servite together. He will be on another unofficial visit this weekend too. His family will be on campus talking to coaches and I guess he is there hanging out with Amon Ra. So yeah hoping we can just lock them down. Palaie Gaoteote Canceled his official visit to SC a few weeks ago to visit the same weekend as Solo. They hung out together at the army bowl quite a bit and Solo sai he was recruiting him the hardest of any players.

Shortest thread ever for a potential 5 star. this late into the cycle?
