For those of you new(er) to the recruiting game, Simi Fili was a highly rated Defensive Tackle (4* scout and rivals) who commited to the Ducks, but never made it to campus. Here are his recruiting profiles from HS. http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/player-Simi-Fili-43273 http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=1914895 I wondered what happened to him... actually I still do, the stupid Iexplorer at my work wont load the link for some reason it keeps saying operation aborted. Can someone fill me in? lol http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/51358115-75/fili-gang-kinikini-football.html.csp
dang looking through that 2007 class he was in we had some guys who def panned out in that one. And some highly rated guys who didnt as well. Dj Davis (4*), Talmadge Jackson (3*), Maehl (3* Safety/DB), Anthony Gildon (4*), Casey Matthews (3*), Eddie Pleasent (3*), Kenny Rowe (4*), Terrence Scott (4*), Tukuafu (4*), Mark Asper was only 2*, Aaron Pflugrad (3*), Darion Weems (4*).... then there were the two DT's who never made it, Fili, and Myles Wade. .. And Todd Doxey (TD RIP) I still feel so bad for Doxey's family, and love so much the gesture the DB's made by wearing #29 all season rotating who wore it.
