    Hoping for some talent upgrades in both programs this season.
    Would like to see a development of depth on both benches, Side A / Side B teams
    Should be an interesting 🧐 season …

    I don’t like those short shorts at all. Not pleasing to the eye. If your’re a skinny guy with thin thighs it looks a little better, but to me it looks great if the length of the shorts is about 1 to 2 inches above the knees. I am very fashion conscious and if it was me I wouldn’t buy these new shorts for anything. They are terrible. That’s my opinion.

    I’m with Derek. Those short shorts looked bad even when they were in style

    Excited to watch this team grow together over the years! Go Bows!

    Derek and Na Alii Pride, my suggestion is to wear compression shorts under those short shorts.
