Warrior Beat: Warriors open spring ball

Quarterback Cole McDonald
It was a lively start to spring training with today’s 2-hour practice on the grass field.

Quarterbacks Cole McDonald and Chevan Cordeiro were in good form. During the passing session, McDonald was 9-for-10; Cordeiro was 6-for-8.

McDonald is fully healthy after playing in pain last year following injuries to his knee and side. He completed two long passes to Jason-Matthew Sharsh and Dante McGee.

Cordeiro has worked on adding weight. Head coach Nick Rolovich has marveled at Cordeiro’s elusiveness and ability to avoid absorbing big hits. Asked if that skill was a carryover from playing dodgeball as a kid, Cordeiro said: “I’m not that good at dodgeball. I’m usually the first guy to get out. … I’m good at getting people out (with throws).”

Two veterans who redshirted last year — wideout Kumoku Noa and linebacker Jeremiah Pritchard — also showed their impactful skills.

    I kind of miss the WAC, specifically for radio broadcast games. Some of those other schools radio play-by-play guys made games sound like pro wrestling. Could swear I heard a cafeteria-sized table or metal fold-up chair crashing at times.

    ST, how come you don’t mention Justin, he threw great no interceptions? He’s accurate and can sling… Best mechanics of them all… But you fail to give him cred…. C’mon….

    GO WARRIORS!!! Have a productive and injury free spring.

    Mahalo to the late Gov. John Burns and his vision for UH Football (50,000 seat Aloha Stadium) and getting into the original WAC.

    Another Mahalo to the late Stan Sheriff for his vision and pushing for a 15,000 seat on-campus arena (Politicians wanted and felt that a 4000 seat arena “was nuff”).

    The interest and political will is now is on building a shopping center, condos, an amusement park, the Swap Meet, along with a 30,000 seat stadium.

    Mr. Grease:
    Is it difficult to access the comments or the post. When I use Safari on my laptop I can’t access the blog. No problem with Chrome

    Looks like Makani is holding a toy photographer with his super human fist.

    26. Previous post on Gib. He did far less in wrong- doing than Boeheim or Roy Williams. Yet they both still have their same jobs.
    Gib’s APR was actually okay, on average.

    Mr. Tsai,

    🤔. Great. An advisement should be made, “Warrior Beat is best used the Chrome.”

    Thank you.

    P.S. Wonder if The Warrior Beat is finicky with certain words

    Man. Wonder if this tech problem issues like these occurred when the technology of the quill and the pencil came about ✏️

    Chrome works a lot better for me too. The problems are almost all when I am using my iPad. Safari automatically logs into the “mobile” version of the StarAdvertiser site which does not allow logging into the “Comment” section. You need to get out of the mobile version and log into the regular version and clear your caches that tie into Safari on your iPad. Chrome also works better if you clear your caches but it does not have all the problems safari has on the StarBulletin site. Most of the time Chrome just works.

    The Star-Advertiser site and the blog *sometimes* stalls on my iPad using Safari. However, the site works fine when using Safari on my iMac with 300+ megabit ethernet connection.

    I was suspecting a bandwidth issue with the all the adware and cookies loading on the slower wifi or G4 connections. I dunno.

    Hooray; UH spring ball is here!

    Who is going to the UNLV road game this year on Nov 16; I just secured a block of 287 seats behind our Warrior bench 10-21 rows up but had to make a large deposit. Let me know if you want to secure your seats (near aisle or row 21 right below the concourse). tomkitaguchi@yahoo.com
