Idk how educated me. Cooper is on his Polynesians, but Bula is hawaiian. That is Tongan. If he doesn't know it could be lol.

Looks like it was Manase Mose's cousin Paula Vaipulu from Georgia Tech that just committed to us.

It appears my guy does know.

A few more Polynesians and Tongans on the team and we could start our own pre-gam Haku.

We used to do that here now and again. Maybe time to revive that.

I live in Euless, where there are many families of Tongan descent. There are also those of other Pacific Island heritage here, i.e. Hawaiian, Samoan. It was explained to me once by a Euless resident of that background that if there were 4 Tongans in one room in Euless, he would be related to one of them. There's no simple explanation that I know of.

That would be pronounced "Haw-Caw"

He was an all conference lineman at Fresno St. It was a challenge to sign him. At least we signed the OL from Georgia Tech. He should do well for us.

Curious if this offer was still on the table since Vaipulu committed to us.
