As a sophomore for Fullerton College this past season, Fieeiki played in 10 of the team’s 13 games and recorded a total of 21 tackles (8 solo, 13 assisted, 3 for loss) and 1 sack. He adds depth to the D-line but at 6’6″ and only 250 lbs I’m wondering if Chow will keep him at DE or try to turn him into a TE.

According to Simon Poti’s Twitter account, appears the Warriors have landed this guy: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3247460/tolu-fieeiki
Looks like some help with the pass rush.

33 true it nice we could redshirted him !! but we should be trying to win !! and have all the best player out there on the field !! i know what you saying is so true !! but if you or i was the coach with only one win last year we would be playing for this year not next year !! we would not be so lucky like some coaches out there !!

Sometimes it doesnt matter if you play mainland guys. Sometime Hawaii just isn’t the right fit, outside of football. Kwamane Bowens, another East coast guy, is an example.

34. I don’t think so. Mageo has impressed so he will be ready to go. Glad we redshirted him. Williams has 3 years so that was a huge bonus I think. PAC 12 schools missed out on him IMO and probably thought he was a 2016 kid. I’m guessing Tago should be ready to go, and Matautia might end up moving to LB which I think he would thrive. I’m not comparing him to Urlacher but I can see him making that same transition and have an impact at the MWC level. My guess is they go the high school route with intention of redshirting.. Ronley Lakalaka or something.

“The top tier guys from the top tier football high schools in hawaii – st louis, kam, pun, farrington, kahuku, waianae, campbell, and maybe, aiea – will always opt for the big name schools.”

Yeah, the more general the generalization, the more likely it is to be wrong.

Or to put it another way: Kennedy T sez kiss his ass.

UH needs to concentrate on the top tier guys who get overlooked in all the shuffle. Mariota was a top tier guy from a top tier football high school, but he was overlooked by most except for oregon. We gotta find those kinds of players. To do this, we need coaches at UH are are close to the high school coaches here.

Right now, we don’t have these kinds of coaches at UH.

In addition to the top-tier players who are overlooked (eg MM) or inadvertently missed by the talking heads (tons of guys in this category), we gotta go hard after the second tier guys. The kanakas of the bunch. The kids from halawa housing, mayor wright, kuhio, kam iv, etc. These guys will not be recruited by the big name colleges. So, we go after them, offer them. They want to play for Hawaii. They talented. They got heart. The fight in them. The “just scrap” mentality. Perfect for the football field. Perfect for UH.
