Tomorrow night. Quote from the promo:"...their biggest export: NFL players"

Wonder if JJ's annual mission will get a mention.

Fascinating spot-------- a boy from Samoa has 56 times more of a chance to play in the NFL than a boy from the America. They are all big kids with very limited facilities and marginal and old equipment, but are respectful, hardworking and talented. I wonder if we have any Samoans on JJ's list to bring here from Samoa.....

We signed Beck Coulter from American Samoa last year. He didn't qualify and is at Navarro JC. Supposed to be a great athlete. I think he had a decent year at Navarro but not spectacular.

Thanks..will he be able to play here after Navarro? I thought we would see some possible Samoan recruits at the Bowl game...

I believe Samoa is around 2600 miles from Hawaii. Not exactly close by although in the same ocean.

I kept waiting for mention of JJ and his foundation...especially when they showed the equipment that one of those schools was using.

BYU's Samoan football pipeline connection is legendary.
