Didn't Alualu hurt his knee his very first day of training camp with us while doing the Oklahoma drill? If I remember right they had him matched up with another guy from the islands. Manuwai I assume (Naeole wouldnt have been here then right?). I'd like t think his knee already has some prior wear to it and the oklahoma drill was the straw that broke the camel's back. Although you never know. If he had never hurt his knee, it's possible he lives up to those high expectations. Was a serviceable player for a long time but supposedly never got his quickness back after the knee injury.
