The UA did not recruit a Polynesian high school player this year, and doesn’t appear to be active in Hawaii and Samoa any more. The rest of the Pac-12 signed a cumulative 13 players from Hawaii, Pago Pago and Samoa. Oregon signed three players from Hawaii, home of Marcus Mariota but, strangely, no players from Oregon. RichRod’s philosophy on recruiting faraway precincts is a good one: “Are we chasing a ghost here? You’ve got to fly over a lot of good football programs to get to Arizona.”
