Open Circle
After a one-year hiatus, the Circle of Honor has opened its doors for a new class.
A committee will select the inductees that will be introduced in February.
So, dear readers, any thoughts on those whom should be considered?
Colt Brennan? The 1992 Holiday Bowl team? The 2007 Sugar Bowl team? Michael Carter? Chad Owens? Timmy Chang? Nick Rolovich?
Let us know what you think.

still no football news?
qb keeton torre and rb wayne taulapapa “decommited” from byu today. hopefully we get chance at one or both of em if rolo is interested.
GOOD MORNING, HAWAII!
Colt Brennan? The 1992 Holiday Bowl team? The 2007 Sugar Bowl team? Michael Carter? Chad Owens? Timmy Chang? Nick Rolovich?
All of the above!
I wonder if those guys got dropped by BYU with the new staff or if they still held an offer and decided to look elsewhere because of the new staff. Like many have said nothing is a slam dunk until the ink has dried on the LOI.
Circle of honor-Class of 2016… Tsaimeister–Davemeister–Ferdmeister
The Three Meiskahteers
I WAS WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY NEWS ON THE COACHES THAT ROLO LET GO HAVE THEY LANDED ANYWHERE?
pretty sure new coaching staff at byu going in a diff direction. nice thing about chow (one of the only good things aside from academics) and rolo is that they honored previous commitments. shows a lot about their character.
ST: If you are awake, you gotta close the previous blog.
Chow was high character.
Any word on JJ Is he coaching? Kamahameha
needs a coach!!lol
The silence on the new coaching hires and recruits is killing me…I hope some of the hires were delayed because of bowl game commitments. As for recruits, we gotta get a JC QB who can transfer over in January to boost our options. We definitely need more DLs and OLs. Can’t do anything without those “hogs”.
Anae wasn’t offered by Oregon State (while Sitake was the DC there), so will his BYU offer still be honored (now that Sitake is the HC there)?
Hmmm……
In the circle of Honor as of now!

“find a wheel and go round round till you hear” a sound — was this a Perry Como song back in the 50’s?
gosh, it sounds like college football recruiting!
#9,
A JC QB…..with 2 to play 2…..was offered yesterday.
I’m just checking back. What happened to Kifi’s post about a coach and my response or question about it? It was about Demario Warren.
pssst, ST– yesterday’s blog entry (and BigFan’s question) is still open.
Pisa Tinoisamoa
The Elimimian’s
And the Kafentzsis Ohana
Taylor Averrill
Larry Cole
Mike Vasconcellos
Natasha Kai. And who’s the JC QB Kapakahi?
It would be difficult announcing any new hires before administrative clearing house stamps its approval. I think there’s a sign on the door that says, ” closed for the holidays”
Stephen Johnson from College of Desert is the JC QB
The 1992,2001 and 2007 teams as a whole should be inducted
…and in the hall of shame
1998 football team
The Gib “da Fib” Arnold
Coach Jun Jones
Circle of Honor 🙂
#25: Al, don’t forget ol’ Freddy von Appen…
#25: A couple other potential inductees:
Bruce O’Neil
Casey Ortiz
Norm Chow
Rick Pitino
I think the name Gib Arnold should be outlawed from use. Use of such a name should be punishable. Instead we should just refer to him as “he who shall not be named”.
Thanks lgw. That’s who I was thinking too.
Colt should be a no brainier (The GREATEST Warrior EVER!!!)
#15, SteveM, Maybe ST’s working on some breaking news and maybe that name is part of the breaking news. But that’s censorship, huh??? lol.
June Jones not in the Hall yet? He should be in for sure.
Ohhhh…I forgot to add the predecessor to the FIB to the Hall of Shame. Frank Arnold needs to be added to the Hall of Shame. Bob Nash would be a nominee too, except he did well as a player and assistant coach before crashing as a Head Coach. Gotta add Hermie Frazier and BJ to the Hall of Shame too.
RE: #33
BigFan — your post on yesterday’s blog was at 11:20 am. Note that cheepeno’s #1 post was at 10:59 am here. Todays new blog entry was already up when you posted on yesterday’s….ST just forgot to turn off the comments and point us to this entry.
As for the name–well, if it wasn’t Kifi that brought it up, I would ignore it…so maybe something is brewing.
Rich Miano, Mark Tuinei and Bernard Carvalho.
Michael Carter
Because he was the first QB to rush and throw for 1,000 yards.
And because he played with broken ribs.
Clarence “Pop” Dickerson
Because he was the first UH player to be named First Team All-WAC.
#36, SteveM, thanks for the clarification. I didn’t realize both blogs were open.
Jim Leahey
Dave Shoji
#30 Andrew … how about “that effen piece of ka-ka” or “Benedict” Arnold
Circle of Honor:
June Jones
Mark Tuinei
Colt Brennan
Bernard Carvalho
Rich Miano
Dino Babers
Ken Niumatalolo in yet?
MBB guard Tony Webster, whose teams would impress BYU’s Danny Ainge, coached by Frank Arnold.
45.
Tony Webster.
Oh, yeah.
Back when Webster played, as you know, there were more than two rounds in the NBA Draft.
Webster definitely would have been drafted within the first five rounds, pre-injury.
My memory is a little blurry.
A lot of mid-range jumpers; a lot of slashing to the basket. Not really a long-range jump-shooter like Strayhorn.
Aaron Strayhorn, if I recall correctly, was drafted, but Webster was better, pre-injury.
Kanani Danielson
Emily Hartong
Carl English
Nick Rolovich
Timmy Chang
Kolten Wong
June Jones
Colt Brennan
Natasha Kai
Kim Willoughby
Kanani Danielson
Stephanie Ricketts
Teams:
92 FB Team
07 FB Team
09-10 Softball Team
IMO Mark Tuinei R.I.P., Dino Babers, and Ken Niumatalolo did not do anything during their UH careers to belong in the Circle. They did do some amazing things after leaving UH.
ST,where have you disappeared to? Any news on the coaches? The scout board said you’re following couple of coaches. Are those the wr and lb coaches?
Didn’t the women’s soccer team make the post-season after Natasha Kai graduated?
These two things stick in my mind.
1. Bobby Curran being upset that Kai cancelled out on him.
2. She didn’t want to participate in some conditioning drill.
Glenn Braggs and Martina Cincerova.
Chuck Crim.
15-0, as a frosh.
Too bad about giving up the grand slam against Arizona in the finals.
Francona.
Grrrr….
He and Colin Tanabe were the main reasons why that 1980 team almost made history.
Kelly Majam
2010 Wahine Softball Team
Watching USC vs Wisconsin. Kessler looks real good at QB, very mobile, quick release and accurate. Extended a lot of plays with his feet. Wittek had to transfer out, he had no chance to beat out Kessler. Don’t understand how Chow compared Wittek to Carson Palmer talent wise. Chow said the same thing about Taylor Graham, he was wrong twice as both are not even close on a talent level.
#6 Are you positive Rolovich is honoring all scholarship for returning players? As far as committed players there were only 4 so it wasn’t that difficult a decision, but a good 4 for sure.
Well, just gave Kessler bachi as deflected pass intercepted. Just his 7th int of the season.
Disappointed team of the year: USC. Many had the Trojans to be in the NCAA playoff hunt and had as much talent as anybody in the country. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the right coach and the right offensive coordinator. At USC losing 6 games in a season is totally unacceptable.
The 1992-1993 women’s basketball team.
You know, the one that went 28-4, and was left out of the field of 48.
The Hawaii Athletics archives doesn’t go back that far, but I remember Hawaii sweeping a nationally-ranked UNLV team, with chairwoman Judith Holland in attendance.
Later, she told Vince Goo those games didn’t matter because they were at home.
Val Agee and Jennifer Hurt are the players that stick utmost in my mind.
When you’re a mid-major, you have to win your conference tournament.
Colt Brennan… there should be no discussion…
Chuck Crim and Brian Duquette. Ron Nomura.
I guess today will be the who the guys day?
Who?
Jim Kalili not in the Circle of Honor.yet? How’s about Jim Mills? What about the 2006 FB team?
The Amosa brothers… Great OL anchors
Here’s to a great Warrior new year some new solid coaches and commits-still Jonesing for some news on both, hopefully prior to midnight!!!!!
Sounding like Clune to OSU is gonna be official soon,wonder what the after effects that Stephen mentioned could possibly be…
I never saw Derek Tatsuno pitch.
But Brooke Wilkins seemed to be every bit his equal.
Lots of 1-0 victories. Just how the softball purists like it. I think Hawaii is responsible for the banning of composite bats. Because it’s Hawaii who holds a major record, and not a Florida or Arizona.
Like Tatsuno, you can still find her name sprinkled here and there in the NCAA Records book.
Leaving a year early, however, probably disqualifies you.
Best all-around softball player: Kate Robinson.
Second best women’s basketball player: Raylene Howard.
June Jones and the 2007 team would be naturals.
Good morning!. It’s really nice to hear all this!. But on!. Let’s get our coaching staff fill up and starting getting new recruit in before spring training! Because this is not high school this is collage!. Stop playing around!. By now other new coaches already have there coaching staff done!
From FootballScoop:
Posted by: Chris Vannini on Thursday December 31, 2015
Hawaii: Per source, additions to the Hawaii staff include: Boston College defensive backs coach Kevin Lempa (defensive coordinator), Norfolk State wide receivers coach Kefense Hynson (wide receivers coach), Boston College defensive graduate assistant Sean Duggan (linebackers coach) and Nevada coordinator of recruiting operations Jason Cvercko (recruiting). Keep track of new FBS staffs here.
