Warrior Beat: Green is back with ‘Bows
After missing the past weekend’s game because of “personal” reasons, junior guard Leland Green is back practicing with the basketball ‘Bows.
Green eased into the flow during tonight’s two-hour practice in Gym I.
During the sprint session, Green was told he could skip the final series because he appeared to be slightly winded. Green waved off the offer, then completed two full-court sprints in under the prescribed time limit while teammates cheered enthusiastically.
The ‘Bows have spent the past two practices working diligently on their point-of-attack defense and help rotations. “Chipping away,” head coach Eran Ganot said of the ‘Bows’ progress.
The ‘Bows will not practice on Thursday, then return to the practice gym on Friday ahead of Sunday’s game against Mississippi Valley State.
Hope Green was able to resolve whatever kept him from playing with the team.
Jeezy, thanks for your viewpoint. Seems Coach Rolovich’s recruiting strategy changes (evolves) each progressive season as he figures stuff out. Awesome as of late so his process looks like a sound one. And Kahuna you’re right as well. Bowers is a terrific, tough, well rounded (4.0 gpa), hard working individual. Lucky to get that kind of person. I’m sure he can become the player the Coaches seen on video. I am hopeful. Can do.
Wide receivets coach Andre Allen was named a finalist for Football Scoop Receivers Coach of the Year. Congratulations.

Kahuna… Recruiting sites aren’t accurate. It’s hard to explain but teams throw out offers early all the time. Doesn’t mean the offer isn’t legit.. Bowers doesn’t have those offers. I’ve done this long enough to know what a quality LB looks like.
The guys to excited about are Steven Fiso and Quinn Perry if he commits. Muasau has promise but probably a 2 down LB only.
Bowers is a FCS caliber guy by my eval. If you don’t wanna agree with me that’s fine. But I also told the warrior blogger years ago that Benny Fonua would struggle and Jerrol Garcia Williams would play on Sunday’s. Right on both.
I know Stephen understand the recruiting game. Teams offer a bunch of kids early. Doesn’t mean you can just commit and the team accepts it. Offers expire… Bowers got offered very early by a lot of teams during his junior year. Those offers aren’t standing. Hawaii won’t have yo sweat poachers and I’ll just pray I’m wrong. I have my own personal board and have over 10 guys I have rated much higher. Tufono for Punahou who committed to USC also is rated high on recruiting sites. I don’t have him rated high at all. Well see how wrong I am.
And flip side, I have Nick Herbig as the best LB in the past 10 years to come out of Hawaii.
2. Ever since Lempa and Legi left, Batoons recruiting targets are 10 times better. He has a south connection and we’re recruiting much faster and explosive guys. I try to be as honest as possible. Legi and Lempa focused on size too much and ignored speed and explosiveness. Batoon has prioritized speed and explosive recruits. Let’s hope it works out.
Jeezy33: we diehard Warrior fans really appreciate your insight and comments; please keep them coming! GO WARRIORS!
Can you help me reach my goal by making a $25 donation to the UH Foundation Fund I created for UH Football recruiting–see below link. If 2000 fans do this, we will raise $50,000. So far, I got 657 donors ($16,425), so only 1343 more donors to go!
Mahalo, Tom Kitaguchi.

Welcome back, Leland Green.
The number of outgoing student-athletes is mind-boggling.
It used to be an anomaly.
I remember when a decorated placekicker was planning to transfer to the University of Georgia.
The concept of a student-athlete not using up his eligibility was big news, once upon a time.
Every season, I predict which non-seniors, particularly in baseball, men and women’s basketball, and softball will transfer.
I think softball is the hardest hit by the annual defections.
Per the comments yesterday, for me, the biggest thing affecting our DB play is the entire understanding of the scheme. When you entirely understand both your responsibility and the overall objective of each package you play without wasted motion, are more fluid, and can showcase athletes-if you don’t- well it doesn’t matter if you are a 4.4 guy that benches 500- if you are out of place, that blows up everything. That said we do need to re-emphazie protecting the deep post and backside pursuit…
Welcome back.

Jeezy, Rolo should hire you as a talent evaluator. I agree, Batoon will improve the defense. Defense wins championships.
That’s why I think Alabama or Clemson will win the title.
Can you volunteer to be a talent analyst for UH football?
Mahalo Jeezy for your insight and knowledge. Stating that “Nick Herbig as the best LB in the past 10 years to come out of Hawaii,” you think that he will be better than Te’o (6’1″) Gaotete (6’2″) Kikaha (6’3″), or Grugier Hill (6’3″)?
