I think Buelow is coming here. I think we have a good chance with Vimahi, too.
So is Vimahi a mission kid for sure? I remember someone saying he might be planning on enrolling for a year and then taking his mission.
Who knows? Tayler Katoa claimed to be a mission kid, then went to USC. Even if he is, we did take a mission kid in Lolohea, and taking one might be a good thing this year since we're running out of OL spots in this class.
The thing about mormon kids and missions is that they are 100% committed when they are still at home with their family and their church and it seems like an awesome opportunity to travel blaah blah blah.
Once they end up out of that bubble with other "normal" kids, they are in the program with their team mates, and they are thinking about winning championships and getting drafted, it doesn't seem quite so important to take that mission right in the middle of all that and fuck it all up.
You'll have plenty of time to proselytize and start a ward when you are in your late 30's and have millions from playing in the NFL.
Unless a kid is taking his mission before[/b] he enrolls in college I wouldn't worry much about it. He's probably more likely to have an injury derail his career than dip out for his mission. That is, unless your team or the player sucks and then it doesn't matter anyways.
LDS superiority guy.
