The Polynesian Pipeline is now a mainstream of the Husker recruiting machine with the recent additions of Offensive Tackle Brian Tapu (6-7/ 295) and Center Houston Kaahaaina-Torres (6-3/ 265). The old adage of winning the game by dominating the lines of scrimmage has never been truer, especially in the rough and tough Big Ten Conference.
Both players will need some time in the weight room and training table to get ready to go against Big Ten linemen, but this bodes well for the future of having players with the right attitude and physiques for this league.
These additions would not be possible without the Raiola’s leading the way both as a coach (Donovan) and program changing quarterback (Dylan) influencing players to move far away from home.
