mabsterkCal, I understand you want to major in Poli Sci, but you've gotten higher grades in Chemistry and the US has a significantly greater need for hard science grads than social science grads. So I'm going to to post on internet message boards about how stupid it is that you're going to major in what you want a few times a week, because WE ALL KNOW you're better at Chemistry. So just suck it up and study it, regardless of whether you want to.

Yes EGHS beat Grant this year..The highlights are probably from that game.

fine at DE. This kid is a stud, obviously. I liked his OT video but am also very impressed with his skills at DE. Just get AA here and let him play where he wants.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Moore.<br /><br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">elpbear;656800 said:</div><hr>Great, great get. Welcome to Cal, Steven!<br /><br />Where are all the (premature) nervous nellies who were complaining about lack of OL recruiting earlier this year, again? :p<hr></blockquote><br />We've definitely got some potential studs coming in, but they do seem a bit raw and given the talent at the top in this year's OL class in the west, it's a little hard to get super excited. Especially when we have significant tackle depth issues for next season and when Stanford is putting together a fantastic OL class and has a realistic shot at some combination of Peat, Murphy, and Garnett. As is, if we can pull Cochran I'd be pretty content, but if we could pull Murphy as well, I'd be ecstatic.

This was a guy that Coach M apparently really wanted. That's all I need to hear. Seems to have a very high ceiling, good size and athleticism (see highlights of him getting downfield on punt coverage). Coaches M & B will do their thing, and this kid will be a starter in a couple of years.

Congratulations, and welcome to the greatest University in the world.

Mr. Moore, here's to many pancake blocks in the next four years. Welcome!

MB-would guess that one of the O-tackles plays as a true freshman?

If he wants to play DL, so be it. Better to have him on the team as a DL than have him lining up as a DL against the team.

There are some highlights against a team that's wearing Grant-like uniforms. There are a few plays in the 2010-2011 season where he pushes back a long curly haired polynesian looking guy. Wonder if that's Pukka he's knocking back.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />yes that was grant (notice the big G in the middle of the field and G-R-A-N-T spelled out in the endzone) and that was one Mr. Shaq Thompson (#1) making the tackles on both of the first 2 plays, and i think with an assist on the third

logical bet for sure...thanks.<br /> Seems to me, this makes taking 3 tackles a whole different dynamic then.

Just watched highlights of Moore for the first time and came away very impressed. He looks very athletic and has the frame to add on some more weight. Not very often that you see an OT the first to the ball on punt coverage. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up playing some OG as well due to his ability to run and get out in space.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">MoragaBear;657998 said:</div><hr>Highly likely. With Tagaloa's NFL physique, long arms, great feet and intelligence, he'd be my bet.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />I've been saying this for awhile now. People don't realize what we're getting in Freddie Tagaloa. I can't remember a LT recruit with more potential and athleticism that has chosen Cal. This guy is a legitimate NFL-caliber talent. To watch a man of that size/strength move with such grace and quickness is just amazing. The fact that coach 'M' will be teaching him is the proverbial cherry on top. To put it this way, if I had to bet on anyone in the 2012 recruiting class turning pro, I would put my money on Freddie Tagaloa before guys like Shaq, Armstead, Treggs, and Kline. Anyone who has seen him would probably say the same. There is a reason he had the most scholarship offers out of any recruit on the west coast despite not attending many camps (which hurt his star rating IMO).
