[808uso]

[darrinsakata]

[Tuiasoa44]

[808uso]

mahalos

[JacobMartinMorgan]

ear12861....the big deal is that people who are experts at this game & his position specifically voted him UNANIMOUSly #1 LB in the nation...so glean what you can from this video & state your opinion but the ruling is out on this one......CONGRATULATIONS MANTI! Go For It!!!

[boehmann19]

Haha. ND steals another away from Petey Poodle.

[ear12861]

These were a bunch of avg plays whats the big deal?

[irie6]

and where's your highlights?

[GUrep808]

manti is one of the best players in the nation

and the best linebacker

he has the sense of where the ball will be all the time

and what u think, blocking a punt and a field goal is an average play?

[brein]

he's a sophmore in this video

[dgoldcamp]

At least he'll be able to read and write when he graduates.

[ajfootball54]

what is the second song?

[flyup12]

What is the first song? I've heard of it somewhere before

[localboy333]

The first song is "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. It is a collection of 1800 Bavarian monastery monk music. Check it out on Youtube. The second piece sounds like a loop of a portion of the first piece with a drum track added.

The song hardly relates to football, but it sounds good.

[FELIPELORA05]

like a lion chasing his pray .

[buttrdtost]

dammm i kinda dont wanna run up the midle if he were at MLB. lmao

[cherylz1]

that Teʻo bloodline is mean... the new Family name of Hawaii Football...Awesome!!!

[spacecadetz]

Nah... the Family name of Hawaii Football is Ma'afala.

[cherylz1]

i see your point.. i'm born and raised in MWH.. i know all of them and they know me and all my family... they are a great football family.. but right now there are also alot of TE'Os making big name in football... like the NOGAs was back then...

[minesone808]

if u watch wat hes doing it looks super easy cus punahou lets him blitz most of the time and he has enough space to read the plays easy. i wanna go 2 punahou and jus blitz all day

[tamatonga808]

[brockk32]

i thought he still wasnt sure where he was going?

[steveakana00]

You Rock! All we need is for you to get used to playing in the cold and snow in South Bend;)

[StoicBehavioR]

His official visit include.

BYU, Standford, UCLA, USC, and Notre Dame.

So basically it is coming down to those schools he going to end up picking from.

[tog4u]

talk about options

[48PULA]

godly uso ur a beast ur gonna go far

[unanimouslb36]

Dame good luck avoiding dis nigga..........haha

[hottwheelz85]

hell of a job uso!!! you keep doin what you do best manti and many great things will be in your future!!! au mai le autograph when you make it big sole!!! haha nah but good stuff. i hope you head to USC but no matter where u go uce i'mma be a fan. good job uso!!!

[emb6903]

Hopefully hes headed to Colorado, I could see them being a favorite mainly because of Cabrel

[bertrand1049]

I think he is either going to BYU, or USC. UCLA is the darkhoarse, cause he loves Norm Chow.

[laiepoint]

bertrand,

you have no idea what you're talking about.

[bertrand1049]

What the hell do you mean I don't know what I'm talking about, I know that he is either going to BYU, USC, or UCLA.

[millripper]

I think laiepoint means....how do YOU know that Te'o loves Norm Chow? does he tell you these things?

[bertrand1049]

I just know stuff. Maybe it's just cause Norm Chow graduated from the same high school as Manti. Or maybe Norm Chow is a genius.

[SWAY716]

Or maybe Norm Chow coaches offense and Manti's gonna play defense.

[bertrand1049]

From what I've heard, he loves Norm Chow, Norm Chow went to the same high school that Manti Te'o goes to. Also Manti Te'o could also be a good fullback in college.

[SWAY716]

Yea I heard that too, i'm just sayin there is no way on earth Manti plays fullback in college. That would be the biggest waste of talent ever.

[bmangoirish]

@bertrand1049 i no...he is already at notre dame university...dumb ass

[beallhigh26]

@bmangoirish sigh, that comment was posted 2 years ago.

[DUBVMr304]

@bertrand1049 notre dame

[shaqkobe4]

thank you mrjonsey, there are two TRUE domers here and not just the newspaper, but the townspeople are pushing him to notre dame. GO IRISH.

[mrjonsey]

Dont sleep on ND and DONT say we cant because ND has a top 5 recruiting staff. The local newspaper thinks Manti is going to ND.

[footballry84]

there is a hug factor everyone recruiting him seems to miss thoguh.

he is not JUST a linebacker. and when i say that, i am not just reffering to him being a star running back either.

having him on the team is a HUGE boost of morale to the team. in our state i have not gone a to a training camp once and not heard his name mentioned severall times. he is intimidating and his teamates feel confidence playing anyone just because because he is there.

manti is what every coach desires.

[nalu8rida]

manti is almost definitely going to BYU...mormon university, cousins already attend, family approves (article about his dad liking the university)...i would love for him to join the trojan linebacking corps (or even the Warriors LB corps) but i believe he will attend BYU..wherever he goes, good luck to him..aloha ke akua

[tatertots00]

Manti is looking for the best now USC is second to none but if he is looking for the best in the future then BYU is the place to be

[youngobes]

does anyone know the name of the opening song? i've always wondered

[fatlanta78]

O Fortuna, Carmina Burana

[laxkid23]

I'm like a recruiting buff, Manti is better than the linebackers that OSU gets.

Penn State is Linebacker U.

And he wont go to Auburn.

I think its down to pretty much 3 places, BYU, USC, Notre Dame. He likes Notre Dame for Charlie Weis and for its religious tolerance.

USC is where a lot of recruits from Hawaii go.

He is Mormon, and his cousins go to BYU.

Wherever he goes, he will be taking a 2 year mission for his religion.

[tatertots00]

USC only has 1 scholarship player from Hawaii.

[laxkid23]

I'll rephrase, the Pac-10 in general. But USC always seems to have players of Hawaiin or Somoan decent.

[EastsideTongan]

Manti Te'o. What a Character.

I was reading some reviews wondering where he might end up, and I feel sorry for those teams who said that they question his "Competiton Level".

I really do thik Manti is somthing special, and I bet he'll prove it in the next level.

[IggidyO]

He's not considering Ohio State.

Go away bucknuts.

[IggidyO]

Come to Cal Manti you'll be in good company.

Probably be able to start right away too with Follett and Williams graduating.

[tooooquick]

we all know that PSU is linebacker U but he's probably going to Auburn

[Nazz53]

Ohio State is linebacker U.

[IggidyO]

not exactly

[GregM055]

I would like him at linebacker U, a.k.a thee ohio state university but, were already stacked.

[Nazz53]

OSU baby!! BUCK BUCK BUCK!!! You right, OSU gets guys of Manti's talent on a regular basis.

[bullmann33]

what is this song called at the begining of the video

[mrmarbles]

carmina burana

[mkrep27]

man ohio states weak newayz 2 yrs in a row losing da championship?mantis too good of a player to be going der....yo manti usc baby,u n maualuga would put it down sole!!!!

[bullmann33]

what is this song called @ the beggin of the video?

[mines1one]

whats his first choice for college

[tatertots00]

bYu

[sgtpepper12345]

haha u wish

[shanegentry2]

I doubt he'd go all the way to Ohio State from Ohio, but he'd definitely look good in scarlet and gray. That kids got Ohio State linebacker all over him.

[pantherbuck]

Manti, come to Ohio State. Forget what that kid is saying about going to Boulder, they ain't going to a NC anytime soon. You wanna know who has the best linebackers, who develops the best NFL players. You know A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter, James Laurinitis, Andy Katzemoyer. Yeah I think so. The Buckeyes have the key to your NFL success.

[ColoradoBuffDude]

COME TO COLORADO!!!

WE HAVE THE BEST LINEBACKERS COACH IN AMERICA!

WE PRODUCE THE BEST LINEBACKERS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!

As a fellow Hawaiian and a CU alum, I would love to welcome you to Boulder!

[dumjock12]

laiepoint u should be proud! this video is by far one of the best high school football highlights ive ever seen... an Te'o is one of the best players ive seen on youtube since the Reggie Bush tapes!!!

[akareggie27]

u already know,USC!!!!!!!!!!!!when Pete Carrol really wants someone and needs em add dat 3 starting LB's and 1 second string leaving!!! shoot!!!!NO BRAINER!!!!plus hes guaranteed to be da next rey maualuga!!!!!WOOOO!!!!!USC!!!!­!!!!

[Nazz53]

He'll be better than Rey...Isn't that what Rey would want? lol

[uruguaydizzle]

I can't wait to have you and Shiloah playing on the same field!!!

[TheNerdHaterHater]

whoever put (edited/shot/mixed) this video together should be proud. I've been watching recruiting videos for years and this is one of the most entertaining ones i've ever watched. Great stuff.

Oh and what a sure tackler this kid is. Man he's going to be something when he hits college.

[jguil]

If Pete Carroll is still at USC when this guy grads, signin this uso is gonna be his #1 priority in the offseason. By that time Brian Cushing and Rey Maualuga will be headed to the NFL with Keith Rivers goin this year. He's the #1 rated LB for his class and his ability to find the ball and shed blocks is amazing something that Carroll, Def. Coord. Nick Holt and LB Coach Ken Norton love. They only got one LB commitment this year and he's not nearly as good as this uce.

[tatertots00]

BYU!!!!!

[slyunit3]

dont worry hes gonna be a trojan

[tbrixton]

the song is O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Either way, it makes the first part of the video extremely cheesy because its used in everything nowadays. but in part II when it turns into the rap song thats pretty damn sweet.

Anyway this kid looks like the real deal.

[woodrow775]

i really want to know where this song is from

[laiepoint]

The first time I heard Mozart's Carmina Burana was in the movie "Excalibur" when King Arthur and his knights rode out to meet Morgana for a final battle.

The second song is "Ya Dig" by Stacks and Bundles.

[highCLASSloser71]

@laiepoint more like the opening scene Jackass when they ride out in the fat shopping cart

[cameronh89]

Does anyone know the song in the background? it has a sweet beat in Part II

[pululefano]

you are da man braddah! you go all da way!

love ya sole!

Ima Te'O

[soffeslacks]

Planning

[soffeslacks]

When are you playing to put on his 2007 season highlights?

[Alikav90]

Manti is Over rated, for reals and every one knows dat hahaha

[laiepoint]

??? are you trying to be funny?

[Alikav90]

of course u thought i really meant that, manti you da man, good luck with your future, oh wait u got one more season damn dog, good luck, im #55 for pac-5, alright uce , good job

[laiepoint]

i knew dat. (not even)

[uruguaydizzle]

Manti, you are a killa!! Coach Mendenhall will turn you into the best you can be. Not only on the field but off it as well!!!

[TheMole1979]

He should go to BYU and play immediately. If you are good enough for the NFL, then it doesn't matter where you play! Plus, BYU will be there for you when you get off the mission.

[oahustar7]

laiepoint, did manti attend the Hawaii-UDub game?

[laiepoint]

Yes he did. He took two friends with him.

[oahustar7]

how'd he like the atmosphere and the faith the warriors had in em.

did he attend the BCS party at stan sheriff or the banquet awards?

[laiepoint]

He lost his voice.

No.

[oahustar7]

haha thats good. i lost mines too

[wotaised]

I like how you refer to yourself in the third person. lol

[oahustar7]

laiepoint, what's his chances of staying home?

[laiepoint]

UH hasn't offered him so it's slim. If UH did offer him only he could tell you.

[oahustar7]

dang. i think UH feels they have no chance of getting him. he's such a big fast linebacker. but if i was UH i'd take the risk of pursuying him. i think after a BCS berth(hopefully), he might give em a look

[oahustar7]

Screw BYU, USC and all those other schools. Stay in Hawaii Manti. Your loved here. USC is not a polynesian school. Stop Smoking. Stay at Hawaii and you can play in front of your family, play with your family, and be happy.

If you Haters are gonna say Hawaii sucks and stuff, i'll take it and shove it right back up your ass. I seen Shilo play too, hes a beast. Stay at Hawaii please. It will make the whole state happy. You and Blaze, damn that would be great

[boilamaka]

I check almost daily for the 2007 video......where is it! I can't wait to see it!

[laiepoint]

It's coming, January 2008 probably.

[boilamaka]

Thanks for your work! I am a Huge BYU fan and a fan could only hope to have a player like this to cheer for!...whereever he goes I will be a huge fan...I am already!

[soccergurl2008]

Manti is lyk sooooo awesome

[kimbohimself]

I don't go to Punahou but this guy's a beast.

(I didn't play football this year but next year i'll try to stop him.) XD

[Yojimboi12]

Ha, good luck man, hes da best beast.What school you go to?

[BQQQB]

DAmn I hope they don't show his 07 higlights. This mother is one hard guy to tackle. I got much respect for him.

[BQQQB]

1:57- DAMN!

[haroldskilley]

His running style really reminds me of Harvey Unga, but he definately has a lot more speed. Too bad he won't play both ways in college (RB/LB).

The "Te'o Trio" at BYU? That would be great... I'd really like to add a "Paipai" in there as well.

[pizzamanapua]

like a man playing with boys

[pizzamanapua]

the hit at 1:33 is killer. btw, what seperates punahou and kahuku is the fact that punahou is a better school. and thats prob why mantai left.

[dancergurlie]

yeah like ALL the colleges are looking at him and hes pretty smart too...hes in a higher math than me at punahou...and hes a nice guy...wait a lot of people from kahuku go pro? and um at punahou u kinda have a better chance of getting into a really good college btw...

[smoney808]

yup jus love how st louis guys love to talk crap

n maybe if u guys actually followed the rules u wouldnt get so many plenties

n season aint over yet so we will see hu gets the last laugh

[trojansandsuns]

why did he go from kahuku freshman year to punahou sophomore year? if he had any brains he would know kahuku is the # 1 school in the nation to have players go Pro to the NFL, so the scouts would be watching that team, especially their D guys... they dont care about punahou... what a fool, punahou isn't much different from any other high school whether he got a full financial aid or not.

[laiepoint]

He has already received a full ride scholarship from USC. Any other bright intuitions?

[laiepoint]

Oh and before I forget....you may want to take it easy on the HATER-ADE. Bad for the digestive system.

[LaIeGuRl7]

dude, it doesnt matter! he played well for kahuku and is playing well for punahou! see!! Gpsh! hes got 10 full ride scholarships so....chill, aight?

[bushgrinda]

It doesnt matter! Uh duh he's awesome where ever he plays, that is what makes him stand out! In addition he's a smart and great kid. Stop hating.

[yoohooeh]

I wish he would comes back to kahuku....we really need him and were like losing all are players....Benji just left us and we need to shine more in kahuku being suc a known team in hawaii

[Nazz53]

Tight...he reminds me of Chris Pagofie...

[bushgrinda]

Difference is... sad to say is this kid has got what it takes upstairs too. This is what'll make him successful.

[boilamaka]

I can just picture this kid with his cousins leading BYU in the Haka......that would scare the pants off anybody!!!

[808localbwoy]

tongan or samoan?

[laiepoint]

Samoan / Hawaiian

[haroldskilley]

bluestadium(dot)com... Manti Tonga..Ka Ora!

[haroldskilley]

Manti Te'o...Manti Tonga=someone else.

[mokemuscle808]

he has to go on a 2 year mormon mission and the schools still want him

thats nuts

[HeyItzAL21]

The beast should wear #55 at USC!

[spacecadetz]

Go to USC and win a championship. Otherwise, you can go to BYU and watch the championship from your dorm room.

[truce808]

why dont you just go to the NFL allready....

[TheNerdHaterHater]

Great tapes on this guy. He looks as impressive as Arthur Brown from Kansas this year... who i think has the most impressive film around. He's going to be big time. Go to USC! Huge polynesian tradition there as well as a big time LB tradition. Oh and you get to compete for the national championship almost every year too.

[tatertots00]

BYU my brotha

[TheNerdHaterHater]

You wish. Carroll is the best recruiter in the nation and there's a strong polynesian history at SC. He can go on his mission and the family's indicated he's open to going to SC. Plus Te'o digs SC... it'll take a lil bit for it to play out but he's SC's. Carroll's the best recruiter in the game. Sorry.

[tatertots00]

PC aint the best no more. or else he could found

away to keep james wilson committed last year.

te'o wants to play with his cousin. he dosnt want to be the oldest player on socal's team. he want to play with other mormans

and BYU is on the rise AGAIN. its about to be the 80's all over

[TheNerdHaterHater]

BYU's on the rise? ha ha ha. To what? 18th in the nation every other year? BYU's been "on the rise" for 20 years now. At some point ya gotta look in the mirror and go 'we are what we are'. SC's the king of college football right now. It's not bragging. It's just a fact.

So Carroll lost Wilson? Big deal. Show me the coach who has a better recruiting record. Heck name me a coach who's done a better job recruiting in his first 6 years in HISTORY. This should be funny.

[tatertots00]

mack brown my man

and BYU could make an argument that they were the second best team(miami) of the 80's. they are QB_U for a reason.

[spacecadetz]

BYU might be "QB U" but Manti is a LB and possibly a RB. There's no better place for him than USC. USC can easily claim to be "LB U" or "RB U". Not to mention that USC players attract more attention by NFL teams than BYU players. Besides, USC is about to take the title of "QB U" very soon. These are all facts.

[tatertots00]

he wants to play with his cousin and be with other hawaians and shyt. lol USC QB_U never 2-3 QBs aint shyt pette leinart and palmer(and he wasnt all that he suck balls his first couple of years)

dont got shyt on the FIVE i repete FIVE consensus all americans BYU got and i belive leinart is the only consensus all american

[spacecadetz]

BYU sucks! USC might not have 5 consensus all-american QBs but its got 4 (Pete, Leinart, Palmer, and Haden), and closing in on a 5th to take the "QB U" title. Brag all u like (about being "QB U") but remember this: USC is current and BYU is so Lavell Edwards (old news). 11 National titles, 7 Heisman winners, and tons of recent 1st round draft picks. USC will get a prospect to the next level. Not to mention, there are Mormon temples in LA.

[tatertots00]

dude he is goin to BYU get over it

[tatertots00]

LB U is florida state or miami

[antdog565731]

go to cal, get a good education and a hell of a football career, also you will be the base of their defense

[BeefZerkie]

Dude has game. Plays with a nose for the ball and like a blue collar worker. Perfect fit for the big time at Boise State!!! You go there and not only will you get to start for 3-4 years, but you would be a lock for the NFL!

[haroldskilley]

Manti,

Provo, Utah has the best looking women in the world, and they come from all over the world. Keep the Polynesian domination alive at BYU! Unleash the Te'o brothers!

[Kalipolina]

wow hes mormon? there goes his career.

[kennygulley23]

lol!

[LaIeGuRl7]

wut the heck is that suposed to mean? mormons can get successful careers!

[michael1980i]

Hope to see you in BYU BLUE Manti! Good luck on the upcoming season!

[logdogg333]

Sick highlights - So fun to watch! All respect to USC, but go to BYU and be a huge part of something special.

[trentu12]

BYU

[mikoyle]

He'd look great with a big blue oval Y on his helmet in college.

[rebels2]

sole mean the highlights

[polynesia]

Go to USC!!

[LaIeGuRl7]

sole, hes got a full ride scholarship to usc man!
