Fatu?

[Ozcuse]

Anyone know what's happening with Fatu? Is he signing with someone today? Kid is a beast FB and with the loss of Adam Harris it could be a position of need unless AAM has eaten himself into the spot.

Who said we need a FB? It's a position that is going the way of the dinosaur...

BTW, we got one anyways... Myles Davis

I'm pretty sure whatever we run on offense should go the way of the dinosaur but that hasn't stopped them yet.

Doesn't seem like he's signed anywhere. Not sure what the latest on him was or when he planned to decide, but if we have scholarships left (by all indications we should have 1 or 2 I believe), I'd really like to see a guy like him in Orange.

Ask Dallas about the FB postion.

Late in the season, EJ Fatu was caught smoking marijuana in his car on the Klein Oak HS campus. He was kicked off the football team and I imagine lost his scholarship offers. Really screwed up his big chance. His dad, a former WWE wrestler passed away in the last year, very sad story.

I saw him play in person against Klein Collins. They used him primarily as a tailback. Definitely big and athletic but was exactly running over anybody or moving the pile, although the talent level he was playing against in the Houston area is quite high.

Looks like Fatu ended up at Blinn College.

Worked for Cam. Hopefully he can turn it around.
