Why doesn't BC recruit Samoans?

Postby QuailMan on Sun Dec 15, 2013 1:22 pm

Looking at the BYU football roster and they have at last 10 Samoans on the team. Also I remember reading an article about how Samoans have the best NFL player/population ratio. It made sense to me that BYU would have Samoans because a lot were Morman, so I looked up the demographics of Samoa and there are actually more Catholics than Mormons (19.6% vs 12.7%).

Notre Dame had Teo and another Samoan. This could solve our big defensive line problems.

I'm not talking about literally Samoa. Most of these kids are from cali/hawaii. We've gotten cali kids before. Provo UT actually averages more snow than Boston

I doubt the marijuana supply in the NE is sufficient enough.

That fat kid whose fat father cut everyone in the bus line at the Army game probably told other fat dudes to avoid BC. So that means no Samoans.

I did, I just figured that LDS has been "recruiting" much more heavily for far longer, so why bother.

BYU has a campus in Hawaii, I'm sure that provides connections.

Lofa Tatuppu wanted to go to BC but ended up at U Maine.

Poor kid, wanted to go to Xaverian but ended up a King Philip.

Watned to go to BC but ended up a Maine.

He was good enough at Maine that he then transferred to USC. It appears that something magical happened (cough, cough, enhancements, Brian Cushing) that turned him into a great football player but then his career ended with a torn pecotoral (cough, cough, roids).

Maori are too picked over by NZ rugby clubs. What we need is a recruiter who will penetrate into the interior of Papau New Guinea - it would be awesome to field a defense full of cannibals.
