Likely figured that with all the people leaving he has early playing time and if qb doesn't work out he has a multitude of other positions he can try next season. If that doesn't work, take the money and portal to Kiffin next December. A win, win.?

Awesome story.  I can attest that everyone in Hawaii does know everyone.  It's like a gigantic small town.  As I mentioned, I have a golf buddy who is friends one of Lefau's relative and they apparently know everyone.  He says Akana and Lefau will play college ball together.  To his point, he never specifically said at Texas.

I have no idea where Akana lands. There are supposedly two schools (Georgia and Texas) battling it out. OU continues to think they're in a good spot though that may just be some residual sooner retardation showing up in print.

I would be tickled to get both. We need help on the edge. He's big time.

Watched the Manti Teo documentary and they emphasized how close both the Polynesian and Mormon cultures are. Everyone knows everyone

This guy can rake in huge dollars in NIL on his name alone if he has descent numbers on the field

With Spencer flipping to tech, we may push a bit more.

100% true

I hope so. He's an upgrade from Spencer.

Spencer approached Houston first (his hometown). They passed. That should tell you something.

Not a very smart move. He will fit right in!

I’m thinking we may have pushed Spencer out because Akana is in

Seeing as Spencer played SDE (which is the equivalent to the Jack EDGE postion in P.K.'s defense) in High School & was being recruited by UT as a DT and that Akana is being recruited by UT as a Buck EDGE & off-ball LB by OU. I don't see how how u can say Akana is a definitive upgrade over Spencer when they played & project to completely different positions.

If I had to choose between Spencer or Akana, I'd choose Spencer because of his size & frame. Meanwhile they're questions about Akana's size which is why OU is recruiting him at off-ball LB instead of at EDGE.

Akana is listed at 6'4" 225 lbs. He's got the height, he can put on the muscle. Nothing a  good weight program can't fix.

He’s gonna be in ??

Akana told the staff and his sister that if the women won the vball championship (they did) he’d commit to Texas.

I guess you're going off of 247's scouting report, in which they admit Akana's listed size is unverified. You should also read on3's scouting report on Akana, which contradicts the 247 scouting report.

My gut tells me the on3 scouting report is probably more accurate becuz if they 247 report was accurate, Akana would've been higher priority for UT & other top programs that were recruiting him this fall.
