One of the things about Ursua sort of went under the radar.
He entered as a partial qualifier. That’s one of the things UH has been able to get done the past year. Some of the best, like Maa Tanuvasa, were able to join UH as partial qualifiers.
UH went through a slump after 1992 when other programs put money into facilities and UH wasn’t allowed to take Props anymore. That changed under June.

Pokesquid you said the players you mentioned didn’t breakout to after their sophomore season. Let me refresh your memory for you. Kealoha Pilares doesn’t count because he was mostly a running back until his junior year. Ostrowski shouldn’t be mentioned with that group. Owens waited for his time as a slot back till his junior year but was a gifted returner. Here are some freshman year stats for you. Bess:89 receptions 1124 yds 14 TD’s Grice-Mullen: 85 receptions 1128 yds 12 TD’s. Sophmore seasons by Salas (moved to slot) 106 receptions 1590 yds 8 TD’s Stuz 63 receptions 658 yds 2 TD’s. Different systems, but there is no way you can compare the slots we have now to the all time greats. I will agree with you I am excited to see what Urusa does under the lights, but like what Miano said on Inside Access Monday night got watch out for what ST says… lol

JJ left for Portland State because Hawaii changed its offense to the
“data processed Hula T”.

If I remember correctly, JJ said HC Larry Price was very helpful in finding
him “a place to land”.

FYI, JJ also left UH as a player and ended up at Portland State.

I can understand why June Jones left UH after the 2007 season. He left a lot of money in the NFL to coach at UH. He felt he wanted that one big contract before he retired. He could have left on better terms. I think if he was upfront and said he was looking for a bigger contract. Things might have been different. But, I don’t think he would have taken a million dollar multiple year contract from UH. I also don’t think he wanted to disappoint everyone when he left UH. So he left the only way he knew how to at the time.

Even while at SMU, he remained close to Hawaii. If June Jones is chosen as HC, there will be renewed interest again and higher tickets sales. Will he leave UH again the same way he left after the ’07 season? I hope not. But, what is certain is he will bring back an offense that is exciting. As far as winning, I think UH can win again under Jones.

Maddog: Great find regarding WMU’s P.J. Fleck.
Forbes magazine had an article on Fleck about how to turn your program around. Kind of like a young Urban Meyer.
