Fairchild must have completely flown under the radar… Not sure how a 6’4″ DE from Florida isn’t rated by any major scouting service.

In any case, GREAT JOB COACHING STAFF!!!

So… Assuming all goes well from here til next fall, the DLine looks something like:
Marquis Fairchild 6’4″ 250lb (I’m assuming he puts on 10lbs by fall)
Kennedy Tulimasealii 6’2″ 290lb and athletic
Moses Samia 6’1″ 300+
Beau Yap 6’1″ 260lb

Size wise, UH will have one of the more physical DLines in the MWC next year.

Malepeai, Moana, Meffy, Friel, off bench plus a few more that should be ready to play in 2014. DLine depth is getting better. Plus Rasmussen will likely push for a starting spot.

—
OLine should be getting multiple upgrades next year as the redshirts are reportedly doing very well. Plus a bunch of returnees will be starting for a third year.
—
LB corp will be getting quicker as Daley and Lauel are gone. I’m thinking TJ will start opposite of JGW, but it’s open competition for the MLB spot… Could be Benny or Gener. The wild card could be RS freshman Drake Miller. I remember being impressed with his instincts on his HS video during the offseason. He has a good nose for the ball, Decent speed and quick to react.
—
DB, RB and WR positions will be solid on talent and depth for years to come so no worries there. Just a matter of cutting down on mistakes.
—

now if UH could only find a D1 ready QB and more OL for next fall…

Assuming that Barry Higdon had a positive influence on Marquis’ decision.

Been hearing recently that DE is one of the primary defensive recruiting priorities……to set the edge on those killer zone stretch runs to the perimeter…….especially since losing 3 DEs (Woodard, Tepa & Cofer) after this season……and returning only 2 DEs (Yap & Uti) with any playing time……though been hearing rave reviews about redshirting frosh hybrid DE David Manoa on scout team.

kama krab: Am in total ageement of your asessment of the situation. Got the feeling that WV is unfortunately going to get a pass on this because UH was short on its security staff and did not hire HPD for the event. I take offense at the fact that WV coach seems to be putting all the blame on Hawaii in the national media. WV coach needed to hold himself to a higher standard and not “call out” the fan. If the coach did hit Ben or anyone for that matter, the school itself and/or the league needs to take action.

After reading up more on yesterdays fight, I think charges should be filed on both sides of the fight. I say this because if it only started with two people and escalated to that then you gotta have some clowns around heating the fire. Two people, easy for stop. You add a bunch of dummies from WV, you got yourself a mess.
