Satele to trip Hawaii
One of the best offensive linemen Rivals100 has seen this season in both games and camps for the class of 2003 is three star offensive center Hercules Satele (6-3, 260, 4.9) from Long Beach (Calif.) Poly. Satele has seen a recent boost in his recruitment.
“I will visit Hawaii this weekend (January 31st),” Satele said. “It will be fun this weekend since it is Pro Bowl weekend.”

Though Hawaii hasn’t formally offered Satele a scholarship the word is the Warriors will during his visit. It only makes sense that the Warriors do. Why else would Hawaii trip him this late in the recruiting process?
Satele had early offers from Boise State and Nevada but he couldn’t get visits dates because he hadn’t taken is SAT or ACT at the time. They ran out of scholies when Satele was ready to take trips.
Satele took his first visit to Idaho State on January 17th and he received an offer.
Hawaii could be tough to beat. Satele has ties to the program. His cousin is freshman Warrior offensive lineman Samson Satele.
Satele gives credit to teammates and former teammates for the reason he’s so good.
“When you line up in practice against Ray (Tago), Manuel (Wright), Junior (Lemau’u) and Joshua (Tauanu’u) you will get prepared for any competition,” Satele said. “Those guys were better than anybody I played in games against.”
Tago and Wright signed with USC out of high school.
Tago had to go the JUCO route first and played for Long Beach CC. He is currently embroiled in a heated recruiting battle with Oregon and Cal.
Wright is still trying to qualify so he can enter USC.
Tauanu’u is committed to Oregon and Lemau’u is a soft commit to Cal. Lemau’u is still looking at other schools.
Now you know why Satele is such a hearty competitor. Whoever signs this young man will be getting a gem.
