pb,
Several UH Watchers have mentioned Nahshon (he should be playing for Solar Universe in tonight’s Championship game); he’s skinny, probably could be considered “wiry”, probably 6-6 or 6-7; don’t see him getting pushed around or muscled out much, maybe ‘cos he’s pretty mobile; gets to more boards than I might otherwise expect, makes his one hand floaters/halfhooks and seems to have range to 15 feet… IF a Shoreline CC “AA Graduate” might be eligible…never heard any confirmation or follow-up on this… Artie? Brian ?

I think Hauns is probably tougher than he showed last year; that he’s capable of being a Primary Scorer or Go-To-Guy but was trying not to upstage some fragile or volatile egos…with the talent across the UH frontline, I expect almost no one can afford to double-team him, so I’m watching for the 15 ppg+ version of Hauns this year…. I think he’s also tough enough to be a 36 to 40 minute per game player, so was never really worried about ‘three-depth’; just wanted to build now, this year, the starter or back-up for next year. I think a three, as one of the primary “scoring” and entry passing positions should know all the systems inside-out to be effective and make all the team plays work…

[If No Answers on Nahhon by Tuesday or so, I’ll start buzzing the coaches…]

K-Bay, I have never seen Nahshon George in person, does he have an equal skillset to Hauns or similar? If he is without a school, maybe finishing summer school at UH..could he transfer in even as a walkon? Brian would you know if Nahshon is trying to enroll in a DI school or is he a Chaminade recruit, or Hilo DII schools, sorry, I have never heard of him..He must be pretty good! If he walked on at UH Manoa, at 6’7″, there is that missing link, a long athletic wing?

Brian, After this season is over, any plans for bi-weekly or monthly updates with coaching staff, updates on practices, on players, etc.?

Thanks, Brian

Has it been determined IF 6-7 Nahshon George of Shoreline CC can walk-on @ UH ?

… looks like he might be a good backup small forward behind Hauns …
