Doris Sullivan and Tony Tuioti are the top candidates for a non-coaching position in the UH program, a job that essentially will serve as a recruiting coordinator. Both, of course, are talented with great connections locally and on the Mainland. The word on the street is UH is looking into whether it is possible for Na Koa to pay for a second non-coaching position. That way both Sullivan and Tuioti could join the program. * * * While the “skill” […]

Word on the street is UH will mail out Form 1099 to members of the Sugar Bowl party who did not have a work-related role for the event. If a non-essential travel member received more than $600 in wages in kind — the value of air travel, hotel and per diem — he would have to pay personal and social-security taxes on the amount. Such a policy already is in place at UH. For instance, employees are given a Form […]

 Delbert Tengan  has resigned as head coach of  Saint Louis School’s fooball and basketball teams. He told his coaches last night, then made it official in a news release circulated to the media this afternoon. He will remain as a physical education coach. It is a sad outome for Tengan,  who has been involved with Crusader athletics for 25 years. Tengan’s football teams lost only two games in the last two years. For UH fans, Tengan was a friend of […]

Today is the NBA’s draft, and brother Mike will be taking over the wheel with his predictions and observations. * * * Seems the only consensus that can be drawn about today’s NBA Draft is that, well, there is no consensus. Scouts and GMs do agree that the top two talents in the draft are Memphis PG Derrick Rose and Kansas State F Michael Beasley, but there are at least 20 other names legitimately in play for the rest of […]

Well, the stars came out for the June Jones Golf Tournament. These legends also will be going to American Samoa as part of the combined June Jones/Greg McMackin football clinic. From left: Jack “The Throwin’ Samoan” Thompson, Leo Goeas (who is actually Portuguese/Hawaiian), American Samoa Gov. Togiola Tulafono, Paul Soliai, Reagan Mauia, Melila Purcell III, and Jesse Sapolu: * * * At first glance, many thought that quarterback Greg Alexander was a defensive end. At 6 feet 5 (or 6-4) […]

Ran into Michael Lafaele today. He said he just returned from a tryout with the Buffalo Bills. He said the Bills are evaluating their situation, and that there’s a possibility he might be invited to training camp. * * * Well, at least there’s a timetable for installing the new turf at Cooke … er, Ching Field. According to Shannon Wood, UH has confirmed that July 1 is the deadline to submit an intent to bid on the project. The […]

You never know who will show up at an unsupervised workout. The most recent mysterious participant is a mean-looking linebacker. The past few workouts, MLB (Mystery Linebacker) has worked his way into the defensive rotation. Other spectators would agree MLB has all of the tools. It turns out “that guy” — as he was referred to by several players — is Kaleo Wong, a 2003 Campbell High graduate. He said he spent the past few years living on the Mainland. […]
