Every year our recruiting classes are heavy with Polynesian recruits. Dont day its from losing our DC to BYU because Rileys classes tradinionally had a good core of Polynesian recruits. Unless I'm mistaken i dont believe we have signed any this year and are flying through scholarships. I went and looked at our past classes and the trend was that most our Polynesian recruits committed late fall early winter. I for one have enjoyed Poly U at OSU and hope we didn't lose the pipeline. Or we could still have the pipeline but we are getting commits so fast we are going to run out of scholarship. I think we have jumped the gun on a couple guys. I felt like last year we were swinging for the fences and this year other then the a few of the guys we got in the Start of summer. Lately we have been several commits first major offer and have been battleing the idahos, Wyomings, and northern AZ for recruits but that's a whole different conversation for another time. Has anyone else noticed the missing Poly touch to this class and any ideas on why?

Part of the lack of Polynesians so far has to do with the positions they are more likely to play (linebackers, Safeties, Defensive tackles & ends, and Offensive line) account for very few of the commits so far. Obviously this does not mean Polynesians play only certain positions, just looking at which ones they are more likely to play. 3 of the commits that fall in these type of positions happen to be local products from Washington and Oregon, where not many of our Polynesian commits have traditionally come from. We have less Polynesians coaches on staff now, which probably affects it some also.
