I haven’t really done opinion pieces for Block U in the past, but I decided to write one now because, well, I want to. I think the timing of this is also relevant given the commitment of Puka Nacua to the Washington Huskies, assuring yet another year of Utah failing to feel in the top in-state player.
If you watched his announcement on KSL last night, one thing you might have noticed is that his mom, Penina Nacua, did not seem thrilled that he was leaving the state. She seemed like she would have preferred he stayed in state to play with older brother Samson Nacua for the hometown Utah Utes.
