Should be noted that the post he shared on his story was announcing USC hiring Cain, the former coach at OU. Seems like recruits really like him, so fingers crossed that Hero will give us a shot.USC making a push for another Cali kid, Hero Kanu, (6'5, 293). Per Greg Biggins. Also Hero made a my day on his Instagram on the hiring of Cain. Crystal ball to Ohio State but I trust Coach LR. View attachment 165040
Also think we have a shot with Cyrus Moss, could be great and much needed additions to our line if we can snag a few of them.Hero could be our Shaun Cody, along with DJ Wesolak!!
We need this kid ASAP
DJ Wesolak, Cyrus Moss, Hero Kanu would be great future proofing and they would have almost immediate playing time. Along side Tuli, Korey, plus another DL commit and transfer portal player or two? That would be a solid class.Also think we have a shot with Cyrus Moss, could be great and much needed additions to our line if we can snag a few of them.
Isn't Shaun Cody, our Shaun Cody? There can only be one.Hero could be our Shaun Cody, along with DJ Wesolak!!

Yes...Isn't Shaun Cody, our Shaun Cody? There can only be one.
IIRC, he grew up in Germany?OU was on his top 5 so there's a big familiarity with the staff. Already visited Oklahoma, I believe he is part European as well since he mentioned that he is #1 Euro recruit.

I was just giving @TrojanFireHorse12 a hard timeYes...
The question means who can be this class' Shaun Cody, the one that will get tidal wave of recruits getting on board...
I think they can develop him if USC gets him with the new coaching staff. Wole wasn’t until he transferred to Illinois where he got developedHero would be a nice get so long as we grab some high floor guys to go with him. I say that b/c he looks really raw to me. The kind of raw that makes guys like Korey Foreman and Wole look like POLISHED old pros.
Yes. He was "spotted" playing soccer by Brandon Collier, a former NFL player who started a company whose goal is to bring American football to Europe, but even more so, to place talented European athletes on D1 teams in America.IIRC, he grew up in Germany?
Not sure Betiku is a great example to use. Yes, he certainly improved after he left USC but is he on an NFL roster at the moment? It is really hard to develop kids who never played football until a much later age. It can be done but you need a really skilled position coach.I think they can develop him if USC gets him with the new coaching staff. Wole wasn’t until he transferred to Illinois where he got developed
Maybe he was paid in euros instead of dollars to sign with Ohio State?OU was on his top 5 so there's a big familiarity with the staff. Already visited Oklahoma, I believe he is part European as well since he mentioned that he is #1 Euro recruit.

*Kanu...I hate auto correctWestolak, Kansas and Moss would be spectacular but I'm greedy and I want to see us close and get Mykel Williams and Miller in the class as well. Those 5 would make my heart sing.
Cody had the SC tattoo before he committed, IIRC. I'd love to see Kanu's artwork.Hero could be our Shaun Cody, along with DJ Wesolak!!

He must really be good if you’re comparing him to Shaun Cody.Hero could be our Shaun Cody, along with DJ Wesolak!!

His first game of organized football was this last March. What he was "playing" was practicing really and evaluation was from a European prospect camp.Hero has tremendous upside. Besides only having played a couple years of football, he also just turned 17 during his senior season.
Correct. I should’ve said a couple seasons versus years.His first game of organized football was this last March. What he was "playing" was practicing really and evaluation was from a European prospect camp.

I knew you would get it.
Wole wasn't that "developed" in Champagne. The couple of games I caught, he appeared to have 1 responsibility, and that was to get to the QB. I saw RB's with the ball in their hands run right by him more than a few times.I think they can develop him if USC gets him with the new coaching staff.

Shaun Cody had a tattoo of SC, which worked out for him. JT Daniels also had an SC-themed tattoo, and wellCody had the SC tattoo before he committed, IIRC. I'd love to see Kanu's artwork.
Maybe he wasn’t all American or 1st round material but my point is that he play waaaaayyyyyyyy better at Illinois. Wole was a highly coveted prospect that was raw and had few years playing football like hero from another country where American football is not the primary sport.Wole wasn't that "developed" in Champagne.

Hero is very green. Best case scenario he takes a year to pop. My best friend coaches at Santa Margarita.Hero could be our Shaun Cody, along with DJ Wesolak!!

True, true just being hyped lolHero is very green. Best case scenario he takes a year to pop. My best friend coaches at Santa Margarita.
Here is my scoop. He is 6'5 and has only played 3 years of tackle football. He has a SEC body and the potential is off the charts.True, true just being hyped lol
Though, it's curious how he's ranked so high given his green-ness.
Thx Vance

His first game of actual competitive football wasn't until this last March. Before that he was in Europe. Not the same as what kids in America do.Here is my scoop. He is 6'5 and has only played 3 years of tackle football. He has a SEC body and the potential is off the charts.
