Re: *** 2014 4-Star OL Viane Talamaivao Commits to Alabama***

Ohhhhh yaaaaaa! I cannot wait to see what Viane can do after some time with Coach Cochran! This guy is MEANN. I wonder if you guys are salivating at the mouth like I am thinking about the monster gaps Talaman is gonna open up.
Can you believe how nasty this line could oneday become...add JSims, GHill and BBoseman. All theses kids play with and incredible dislike for the team in a different colored jersey.

I like it...Roll Tide!!

Great to see UA recruiting the California area successful and hope the trend continues with Mama and Luatua. Great pickup for UA and interesting the hear that he could be the center of the class. Looks like a perfect Guard.
It would be great to get Mama and Luatua also. Welcome Viane and get ready to win championships. Our national recruiting has never been stronger (when he commits without even seeing the campus you know you are doing it right).

I'm going to call him Sunbeam since he is a pancake machine. I watched the first 4 1/2 minutes of his video and they were all pancakes. I like this guy a lot.

He committed without visiting Tuscaloosa? Our program is building quite a reputation!

Welcome, VT. RTR!

If his High School team plays an odd front on Defense it would be hard not to play him at Nose Tackle with his size, quickness, and the mean streak he shows. I could easily see him becoming an All-SEC Center.

Welcome to :BigA:
Viane! Roll Tide Roll!

Like the fact once he latches on to a block he doesn't turn loose till the whistle blows. Great pickup, he contributes right away in my opinion

I remember when Warmack gave his verbal/signed his letter that BamaRich called him a "road grader." That worked out pretty good!

I'm liking that VT is being compared to him!!!

Crushes people. Great toughness. Finishes blocks. Leaves them dominated. Great pick up. Roll Tide Viane!

Earle will correct you as he did with me that this is "road grater".

Just from watching his highlights, you can see the power this young man has. The only criticism I have is that he seems to lose his footing a lot, doesn't he? It looks like it's on purpose some of the time so he can belly flop on his victim. Other times it looks like he just kind of rolls forward and loses his balance. I'd prefer it if he maintained better body control, even if it meant fewer dramatic take downs.

Other way around actually, I remember the correction by Earle you were talking about. road grader is correct.

I only remember it because I had no idea at the time either.

I like I like! Kid is a beast, not sure I see him losing his footing though. All I see is him running over folks. His footwork looks pretty dang good.

It should be road grader because "grade" refers to slope. That's why you "grade" dirt roads to eliminate the ruts, etc, which is pretty much what Warmack did for us. Looking at the video, I was amazed by the punch this guy has when he plows into defenders. Hopefully working with Coach Cochran will turn him into a beast like Warmack.
