While in Utah recently for recruiting, Tosh Lupoi stopped by to visit Cameron Latu and ended up in a bathroom with the four-star linebacker, his brother and his mom. The Alabama defensive coordinator was curious about Latu's weight, so he had him step on a scale in what ended up being a crowded bathroom.
The weight, 242 pounds, was a good number for the 6-5 Latu, who has benefitted from a sport that's helped him stay in shape in advance of joining the Crimson Tide this weekend. Rugby. "He's been working out and running a lot because that's what he was suggested to do," said Latu's mom, Jill Argust. "But playing rugby has been helping him get prepared as well."
Latu played for his high school's club rugby team the last three years along with his twin brother, Nathan. This latest season ended this past weekend. In addition to the games, they also practiced three days a week. "His brother started first (with rugby), and Cameron would watch him and wanted to get involved," Argust said. "Then, he just fell in love with it. And he's pretty good at it."
FloRugby recently tabbed Latu as the 11th-best No. 8 man in high school rugby, according to his team's Instagram page. Latu and his brother were their team's top two scorers. And, like with football, Latu can deliver some vicious hits, as his brother knows all too well. They were once both converging on an opposing player but instead rammed into each other. Latu's brother ended up with a concussion.
Soon, though, Latu will have a different sort of physical challenge, Alabama's summer workouts. The one-time BYU commit is one of three highly-ranked outside linebackers set to enroll this weekend, which will add some more young talent behind veteran players like Anfernee Jennings, Christian Miller and Terrell Lewis. Latu graduates from high school Friday, has a graduation party Saturday and then leaves for Alabama Sunday.

Damn. Muschamp just beat out Dabo for 5-star DE Zacch Pickens. That's a nice win for South Carolina.

Makes me wonder what's going on at Clemson. It would be interesting if Clemson is about to be investigated

That newly signed DT from last year's class, Josh Belk, has already jumped ship.

Yea, Carolinagirl was saying one of her family members is well connected with Clemson and he was about to cry because of what's going on. Granted this is from Carolinagirl so I don't know how true it is. She'd say something just to stir Clemson fans up

The Recruiting Update For Alabama Fans
quote:
Alabama’s 2019 recruiting class is shaping up to be quiet special, but there is room for them to add some more elite talent. Yours truly reached out to Alabama fans via Twitter to see which players fans wanted a recruiting update on. Here is the list of the guys and an update on their recruitment.

Stanley Taufoou's 24/7 profile. 24/7
I haven't watched his film, but his offer list isn't very good. He's 6' 2" and weighs 245. Plays inside linebacker.
What a bunch of butt hurt bitches
What a bunch of BS saying they liked him better than Thibo. That guy is a shorter inside LB type. Thibo is a tall WDE/OLB type.

Daxton Hill
Alabama is in a good position to land Hill as of now, but they are going to have to battle it out with some top notch teams to pull him in. He released a top 5 late last month, which included the Tide, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Michigan, Clemson and Ohio State. Hill has not provided a favorite, but it is believed that he will make a decision this Summer. He does plan on taking a visit to each school before making his decision, which gives Alabama a chance to lay out the red carpet. Something to pay attention to though is his brother, Justice Hill, is actually a running back for Oklahoma State. This one is going to basically come down to whatever program makes Hill feel the most at home.

Christian Harris
Harris’ recruitment is looking like is going to be one of those classical LSU Vs. Bama scenarios. We have all seen this play out before with several different recruits. The only safe thing to say about Harris is that he will most likely choose Alabama or LSU. The latest announcement he made was a top ten, which included Alabama and LSU. It is expected that he will take a ton of visits this summer and should at least have his list cut down some more by the fall.

Ishmael Sopsher
This is another Bama Vs LSU recruitment battle that is up in the air. LSU is recruiting him very heavily, making sure he will not leave the state of Louisiana. The Tide did get him to campus on A-Day and should get some more visits out of him. He is definitely interested in the Tide and it all comes down if they can make him feel like Tuscaloosa is the best place for him.

Kayvon Thibodeaux
Thibodeaux is an interesting case. I do think Alabama has a chance, but this guy is a freak of nature that wants to get on the field early and often and one can bet others schools are using the old if “you go to Bama, you’re not going to play” spill in their recruiting pitch. Fortunately, for the Tide they were able to dispel some of the myths about Alabama football when Thibodeaux visited, which was huge for them, considering the fact that Thibodeaux knows and believes that he has the ability to get on the field during his first season. He has yet to release a favorite or even a top school list, but I believe he is seriously considering Alabama. He said he will visit Tuscaloosa in the Fall.

Thank you, my friend. This wasn't planned and I'm 100% sure it won't end well . We always drank this or pink panty pulldowns.

Faatui Tuitele
Tuitele recently dropped a top five, which included Alabama, Washington, Clemson, Ohio State and Texas. The Tide should be considered a heavy favorite with this guy attending the former high school of Tua and Taulia Tagovailoa. Both of their families have a very close relationship. The fact that the Tagovailoas move to the state of Alabama with Tua is another plus for the Tide. The Tide are in a good position as of now and it is going to be difficult for any team to get Tuitele to not Commit to the Tide.

Marcus Banks
Banks is heavily considering Alabama and is expected to make his commitment in late June or early July. when I spoke to him, he told me that Alabama pretty much speaks for itself. He will take an official visit on June 15-17. It is safe to say that the Tide are in a great position to get a commitment from him this Summer.

Nolan Smith
Smith is pretty much a lock for Georgia. It is going to be hard for any team to get this guy away from the Dawgs. Something of interest is that he has continue to take visits to other schools.

Clay Webb
Webb is easily the most-sought-after player in the State of Alabama and you can bet the Tide are working their tail’s off to land him. The Tide do have a huge factor working in their favor,being that the leader of their 2019 recruiting class, Pierce Quick, is good friends with Webb. Quick has hit the recruiting trail just as aggressively as members of the Tide’s coaching staff. I predict that he will join Alabama’s 2019 recruiting class.

This was exactly what I thought. Hell, if those guys are gonna lie, at least make it believable
