Ararar Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 The Inland Valley’s top junior football prospect won’t be suiting up for a local team next season. Linebacker Solomon Tuliaupupu has left Claremont High School and will start school at Mater Dei On Tuesday, he said by phone tonight. The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder was a first-team All-Inland Valley selection last year. He recorded 126 tackles, 18 of those for a loss. He also had two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and a blocked field goal. He was named most valuable player in the Palomares League despite playing for a team that finished 3-7 overall. Tuliaupupu is the third-ranked linebacker in the country, already drawing 25 offers from NCAA Division I schools. Among those are UCLA, USC, Michigan Nebraska and Notre Dame. “My dad and I talked about it and we think this is the best to prepare for college and the future,” he said. “It wasn’t really one thing. Ultimately we thought this was the best move for me.” Claremont’s football program is some disarray right now. Coach Coco Jarin was fired after the season was over and no successor has been named. There is no one handling football recruiting and none of the Claremont players competed in all-star games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendsofthefall Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 "There is no one handling football recruiting" ? Sounds like they need to revamp their recruiting dept. over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodysurf Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Key pickup for MD. Next year's offense is basically the same, minus the one St. Brown brother. But defense is losing a lot. Biggest need is still beef on the defensive line in order to confront what SJB likes to do. And MD better hurry up and get new kickers to replace the 2 kicking studs that are graduating!

Need to be sure the academic transfers will be acceptable to the CIF Executive Committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
