    Hensley looks like a monster for a 17/18 year old?? Lets hope his footwork matches up with his size though.


  2. Stephen Tsai June 1, 2015 10:08 am

    Hensley said he’s 311 pounds.
    He decided to come in early to get in more work. The other newcomers arrive on June 26 for the bridge program.

    Guud Morning Tsaikos…bootiful day.

    carry over from yesterday’s post..

    Pomai, got to keep banging on the door. Maybe meet with new AD and get the scoops again. Seems the last one was not open to suggestions.

    kruzen, Mahalo for the link…seems to be working ok now.

    some one created a rock garden. spent a lot of time and money. labor of love but not sure if he got any love back. this cannot be the way the AD operates. AD want to play only with the big boys then going to hard to get the many small people to help out. they going walk away….imho

    finally JR looks huge! gonna be an interesting session…smell of football is in the air!


  4. 3-Prong June 1, 2015 10:09 am

    ken: the other bricks on campus are for the benefit of the Alumni Association. Could be why Pomai hit a roadblock earlier. Still think its a good idea for the Athletic Dept. case in point being that I would donate for a brick for the Rainbow Warrior Walk, but I wouldn’t for theUHAA as I am not an Alum. Football fanbase is huge and if donors knew ffunds went directly to athletics they would be more inclined to ante up.


  5. letsgowarriors June 1, 2015 10:13 am

    Hensley looks like a guard. big kid


  6. NorthShoreFan June 1, 2015 10:15 am

    #4…Amen

    if no can use bricks then use hollow tile…huh?…


  7. letsgowarriors June 1, 2015 10:16 am

    i dont think Penitito needs to wear shoulder pads


  8. bowwar June 1, 2015 10:18 am

    Hensley shows that size matters…Big kids will intimidate on an Offensive line. I hope he has a good career at UH. I still think they should use Daniel Lewis as a RB on offense.


  9. Tiki808 June 1, 2015 10:23 am

    Lance Williams and Penitito Faalologo are older players. Where are the younger recruits? 6-5 or 6-4, 225 ibs. and above. What happened?


  10. jeezy33 June 1, 2015 10:29 am

    8. Moving him to RB right now would set him back a whole year. Which wouldn’t be smart considering he’s starting or at least in the rotation at safety. He had the big pick vs San Jose St. as a true FR. Not very often to safeties start at 18. I say keep him at safety for now. But I feel we kind of failed addressing the RB position over the years. Maybe if we get rid of the TE position, we have more room to recruit more RBs and depth on the line.


  11. Arcumfortis June 1, 2015 10:39 am

    I was hoping for some news about late JC transfers (large, fierce, blood thirsty D lineman preferably). Is it time for the hoping to end?


  12. Old School Dave June 1, 2015 10:51 am

    ST: Thanks for the pics. Hope they have a great and productive summer S & C that is injury free.

    UAB to restore football. Here’s a story about what donors and supporters can do, if they really want it.

    http://www.startribune.com/uab-to-restore-dropped-football-program-for-2016-season/305728001/


  13. Tiki808 June 1, 2015 10:55 am

    If I may add a note or two; UH’s defense are more for “dynamically typed” style presentation. Where as Colorado’s defense and Ohio State’s are static and compatible at runtime. Meaning they are more powerful in size. The variables match up and it is already set. There are no compile time errors for the other teams. Computer terms. Yea, interesting.


  14. H-man June 1, 2015 11:00 am

    Great pix. Thanks ST. Hensley shows great character by reporting early. Kory Rasmussen looks huge. He and Penitito have the nose position covered. Feeling good already.


  15. Da Punchbowl Kid June 1, 2015 11:20 am

    It’s always fun to view summer pics and to ponder what the fall will bring. Thanks Stephen.

    This team has potential and could surprise a lot of folks. As always, time tells the tale, but this looks like a good bunch.

    Arcumfortis – I wish for the same as you, in post #11. We’ll see.


  16. jimmy the lock June 1, 2015 11:21 am

    Wrote this many times before but here we go again. If you want the current blog topics bookmark this:

    http://hawaiiwarriorworld.com/category/warrior-beat/?php

    Don’t know why it’s so difficult for the webmaster to put this for the Warrior Beat link.

    But that’s ok, if you no like use this as a bookmark or link then go ahead and keep on complaining.


  17. SteveM June 1, 2015 11:44 am

    Good morning everyone!

    RE #16
    Jimmy the Lock — thanks for the repost.
    The URL apparently must include the “?php” at the end.

    Using the original URL (as we were given in the beginning) will take us up to the Kealoha Pilares entry. Looks like that was the date the php script was added?

    So edit your Warrior Beat bookmark/favorite to include the “/?php” at the end.
    Well, that’s todays theory of what’s going awry. πŸ™


  18. jimmy the lock June 1, 2015 11:55 am

    It’s just a querystring. Doesn’t have to be “php”.


  19. SteveM June 1, 2015 12:16 pm

    RE: #18
    Well, Jimmy the Lock, this is what’s confounding me…

    Yesterday when I posted the history was finally fixed, I had used the URL with the “?php” that was posted by Kruzen and it took me to the current listing. I returned to the blog, then used my bookmark (without the ?php) and it took me to the current list– which made me conclude it was finally fixed at the admin end.

    Last night, on a different device without the ?php, it took me back to the old listing with Pilares. Same thing happened to me this morning on this computer without the .php. So, I dunno… but the definition:

    http://searchsoa.techtarget.com/definition/phtml-suffix

    indicates that the .php is a script that must execute on the server. So I conclude the Warrior Beat web page with the blog entry list history is running a script of some sort. But I dunno. I’m just satisfied with whatever works–I am retired now and try to stay out of tech issues.


  20. Inyoface June 1, 2015 1:20 pm

    Preseason All-MWC first team? Things are looking up!! I’ll take it!


  21. A-House June 1, 2015 1:45 pm

    the “inner sense” is starting to stir with the pics posted today – feeling of excitement – however the season ends, it will end with happiness or sadness or who cares, I don’t like sports?

    players will play their hearts out – fans will scream/laugh/cry – coaches will pull hairs for missed blocking assignments or running the wrong route or QB leaving the pocket too soon or bounced/over thrown passes or dropped passes

    players and coaches will come and go, but the die hard fans will remain as the “core” and hopefully help build attendance again – wife’s cousin said they gave up their football tickets for 2015 – said last 3 years were enough!


  22. A-House June 1, 2015 1:48 pm

    pre-season teams are just that – pre-season!

    yet, with Phil Steele, getting 2 of 11 offensive players is a great start!!!

    gun fun it!! clip your nails so fingers will not slide to the next “key”


  23. A-House June 1, 2015 1:48 pm

    dichotomy – wat dat???


  24. 3-Prong June 1, 2015 1:54 pm

    Phil Steele knows his stuff. Our qb bas a cannon! Too early to get pumped up. Better take my chill-pill…


  25. jimmy the lock June 1, 2015 1:54 pm

    SteveM, has nothing to do with php. Like I said could be “?java”, “?stevem”, or whatever. Don’t try and think too much, you may pull a cerebral muscle.

    Tiki808 is a computer expert, he should know the reason. I just googled to find an answer.

  29. Stephen Tsai June 1, 2015 2:50 pm

    I’m in the office and when I go to the blog, Update: Pilares, is the “latest” post.
    They said it was a cache problem. Not sure what that means, other than Pilares has some pull.


  30. Stephen Tsai June 1, 2015 2:51 pm

    Lavaka will be here with the other freshmen on June 26.


  31. Stephen Tsai June 1, 2015 2:53 pm

    The offseason conditioning program is not mandatory for players who are not enrolled in summer school. But it’s still 100 percent because everyone has a program. So whether you do the program here or on the mainland with a personal trainer, you’re still doing the program.

    Cache problem? When things go wrong, blame the cache. If they know it’s a cache problem then fix it. Aisoos!


  34. NorthShoreFan June 1, 2015 3:16 pm

    either that or recruit a new cacher..got any more scholies left?


  35. st. anthony trojan June 1, 2015 3:18 pm

    http://www.kaleo.org/sports/terminal-velocity-how-don-bailey-wants-to-restructure-the-rainbow/article_918be1a2-f86b-11e4-8f1e-db1a53da205c.html

    Terminal velocity: How Don Bailey wants to restructure the Rainbow Warrior offense

    Read this Ka Leo interview with the new OC (dated May 12).

    My impression is that Bailey is polar opposites of Chow, where he even admits “we have contradictory styles of running an offense.” Bailey, in the second to the last paragraph, bluntly states “that he is calling everything.” (Good).

    He wants up tempo, 3 plays a minute, be a first down hog… and tailor the offense to the strong suits of his players. (Smart).

    The one thing I see is that the OC will have some good weapons at WR (Kemp, Pendroza) and RB (Lakalaka), who should do better imo now that he is out of Iosefa’s shadow. Add in the untapped production of the third and fourth receivers, TE and who knows…maybe good times/fireworks/wins might happen again.

    Fall camp and the start of the season can’t come any sooner? It should be interesting. One site (5Dimes) pegs the over and under win total for the Warrior season at 6. I say hopefully the Warrior get 7 and a bowl bid.


  57. st. anthony trojan June 2, 2015 8:28 am

    Thanks 4 the link PP..see how long it last with him calling all the plays etc…well maybe….be interesting to see…what happens…with chows style….probably see another chow vs naole…chow vs bailey etc…. wonder how long before that happens…


  58. H-man June 2, 2015 8:40 am

    Really looking forward to the coming season to see the “new” Warrior offense and defense scripted by Bailey and Mason.

    Author of this article writes in sarcasm of how the T.C Chang complex is incomplete, how Jay dragged his feet for a year and how the replacement cost for the track and field keep rising. Somewhere along the line, the article also points out that somebody didn’t plan the size of the field to accommodate women’s soccer as the field is 10 yards short. The beginning of the article states: Expensive Lesson. Yes. And a crying shame to the family that put their trust in UH to carry out their father’s good name.

    This article points out how student athlete stipends (averaging about $4,000 a scholarship) will add another 1.2 million to the athletic deficit and debates the pros and cons.
