Recruiting update(s)

[Loyal Coug1]

Oh, some new news to round off the evening.

Per the usual source (Brand X) we picked up:

Our first non-SDSU transfer (!), apparently reeled in from newly hired recruiting savant (and now former Cal Poly coach) Everette Thompson. This Poly behemoth, Nilasoni Finau, comes to WSU from FBS - oops - FCS powerhouse - oops - doormat Cal Poly! A RS Senior-to-be, Finau was recruited to Cal Poly prior to Paul Wulff becoming HC. So rest easy.

And Rogers has flipped another SDSU 2025 recruit, Connor Sullivan, making it 4 new HS signee transfers to date.

Cal Poly does have quite a few Poly players, including two from Samoa (not Finua). I wonder if the fact that the school name is "Poly" helps with recruiting Poly players? And I just saw that Timm Rosenbach and Steve Broussard are now Cal Poly coaches. Cougar connections all around.

I welcome Nilasoni Finau to the team. There are a lot of holes to fill on the D line, he may not be better than what we had, but he is better than what we have right now, which is close to nothing on the interior. According to what I can find 3 D linemen have left to to the following schools, Houston, Kentucky, and Virginia, 1 LB to the UW, and 3 Corner Backs to Miami, Mizzu, and AZ. Thats 7 players on Defense and I am not counting the ones that elected to become Dickert Demons. The big question here is if the Cougs had 7+ defensive players, which these power 4 teams wanted, why was our D so bad this year? I think the answer is pretty simple.
