Be sure to watch Austin Holt and Justin Sorensen tomorrow....
 

The are both starting in the US Army All-American game, with the best highschool players in the country. Just to be invited is huge but to also be named starters shows how good they are. Also Lynn Katoa from Cottonwood is starting.

I like Katoa,,,think he's a solid player....and I'm sure some will think I'm crazy about what I'm about to say...but I'm gonna say it anyway.

Michael Alisa will have a better college career than Katoa.

Alisa is a diamond in the rough. Total stud and one of those under the radar players that 3-4 years from now...maybe more depending on if he serves a mission...that people will be saying they couldn't believe he was a 2 Star rated recruit coming out of High School.

I've watched both play in person and saw them go head to head...and even with all the stars out on the field that day...Alisa was head and shoulders above everyone else...along with Junior Craig Bills and Xaiver Sua'filo.

Thats good to hear. Katoa will be tested tomorrow as his job is to spy Terrelle Pryor the Nations number 1 recruit. Pryor is 6'6 235 pounds and just ran a 4.38 at the All-american combine. He is the next Vince Young (in more ways than one has some mechanics problems) If Katoa can contain Pryor he will make a big name for himself.

I think I'm an informed BYU football fan until I read this stuff about HS recruits. It's impressive, albeit borderline pathetic, how much you guys know about these kids.

No question about it.

I am a dork.

I was just thinking the same thing. I don't mean it as a knock.

Do you guys actually attend HS games?

Since I graduated HS (almost 20 years ago...yikes), I have only attended a HS football game about 4 times......one, to see my nieces, who are cheerleaders, at my old HS. I think I have been to a few games (usually homecoming), including Ben Olson's Sr year.

Second, I went to a Long Beach Poly/Concorde De la Salle game about 6 years ago in Long Beach or Home Depot center or something like that. A bunch of guys went from work. It was kind of boring except to see whether their streak would be snapped (it wasnt).

I cannot imagine going to so many HS games to know all these recruits.

When did you watch Michael?

Are you a freaking TO Lancer?

If so give my love to Brother Severn, I still recall him screwing my ward ball team my senior year......

Uh, oh. There's trouble abrewin'. Triplet Daddy may have just touched a nerve on the 'napper. The only thing he seems to hate more than breast reduction surgery is a TO Lancer.

I actually try to attend a few highschool games each year they are fun to watch and I like watching potential BYU recruits. I still give myself credit for discovering Eathyn Manumaleuna :).

I have also attended several De La Salle games, and my freshman year of highschool I dressed Varsity when we played them, I played about 5 snaps at the end of the game and we lost 70-0. They had a running back at the time named Leon Callen who was unbelievable he went on to play at Arizona and then flunk out school.

His little brother Atari played at Cal under Tom Holmoe, I was talking to Tom a few years ago about Atari and he said: "He is the most gifted athlete I have ever seen and he is good enough to be an NFL hall of famer, to bad he has rocks in his head" Atari flunked out of Cal and ended up finished at a D-1AA school.
