Punahou’s Torres chooses UH
Punahou’s Dakota Torres has made an oral commitment to sign with the Rainbow Warriors.
Torres, who will be a senior this coming academic year, is 6 feet 2 and 240 pounds. He can play tight end, linebacker and long-snapper.
At the PIAA combine, he bench pressed 225 pounds 19 times.
Here is his highlight video: Torres video.
Torres is the fifth member of the 2014 recruiting class. The others are:
• Samuela Lauaki, DL/OL, Cathedral High (Los Angeles)
• Daniel Lewis, RB/CB, New Iberia (La.) High
• Larry “Tui” Tuileta, QB, Punahou
• Manly Williams, LB/S, Farrington

It was early. And it rained. But Damien Packer and Dustin Elisara were among the players who participated in the 5:55 a.m. workouts today:

Haven’t heard much about this kid from Punahou but he looks to have a good frame.
Hopefully this is the start of a Manoa to Manoa pipeline with all the studs there.
Morning! …
welcome to #warriornation dakota!
Alright Dakota!
Mahalo for choosing to be a Warrior!
Love it!
Let’s Go Bows!
Go Warriors!
Imua Rainbow Warriors!
Damian Packer…who dat?
No mattah
Gottah be a Packer fan now!
Project your thoughts to 2016 as UH opens its football season with QB Tuileta tossing passes to Dakota for TDs – a definite Punahou connection!
GOOD MORNING HAWAII!
GO PUNAHOU!
Stupid joke Friday…
I realized I need to workout after I went to Costco and couldn’t pull the shopping carts apart. So I had one of those workout gyms delivered to my house and now I can’t rip apart the cardboard. Finally, I met my friend at Ala Moana park to jog, he jogged while I sat on the wall looking at the bikini bods.
GO RECRUITS!
Working out before 6:00 a.m. takes a lot of dedication. That’s why I don’t do it.
There are three sessions: 5:55 a.m., 7:55 a.m., and 12:55 p.m.
Most of the players choose the earliest session.
Did Fitou Fisiahi decommit?
Go get um! Keep local talent in state
Congrats to the Heat.
A Spaniard and a Mexican were playing basketball…Juan on Juan.
Dakota Warrior! Love it!
Nice lookin’ young uns in the early commits! Keep up the great work, coaches!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Good morning everyone!
Welcome to the 2014 Warriors!
Couldn’t beat the SPAM, but maybe I’m #15 today. 😕
You’re in fine form today, jimmy the lock! 😆
Fitou is in that soft commit category.
These five are solid.
I don’t like the Heat, but I love that intro song. So it’s a wash.
What’s the difference between CG and an egg?
An egg gets laid.
DPK:
I always thought it was Lakota Sioux – u know, the ones that wiped out “yellow hair” at the Little Big Horn – now comes Dakota Torres – one mean LB or TE or LS!
I rather have Lebron and the Heat than Kobe and the Lakers.
da Spurs like the Celtics and Lakers are done and gone – just to many older players
#9 Jimmy, damn, I thought I was the only one who got cold sweats everytime I approached those Costco carts to pull one out for the wife. Couple times, I had people waiting behind me while I wrestled. Now days, I make sneaky and make like I am the helpful guy. I watch when the old folks pau load up the car and get ready for put the cart someplace near (but not in the cart station, too far for walk), so I go tell ’em, “I take da cart for you.” That way, no look weak trying to bust out one cart in front the store.
GOOD MORNING HAWAII FANS!
Seems like the Sons of Oahu are committing to stay and play in the ” Manoa Mist”.
The way we are recruiting we are going to have the NEW Polynesian Platoon at UH.
Go Warriors!
Beat SC!
A-House, the average age for the Spurs is less than the Heat. 28.2 vs. 31.2. They even have a younger average age for the starting five.
PolyMom:
Kudos to your son, who has adopted Saui for the summer.
Danny Green = John Starks.
I was having flashbacks.
Buffoman, it looks worse when I struggle with the mini carts at Longs.
I’ve told this a zillion times, but UH once brought in a defensive tackle to be Gilbert Brown-like. They just needed a big guy in the middle. Well, the guy decides to get healthful and he loses a bunch of weight. He’ll live longer, but he wasn’t Gilbert Brown.
Danny Green needed to be Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Mike Miller or Bo Barnes: Stand in the corner and shoot 3s. He’s not supposed to drive. Ever.
John Starks looks like he has cotton balls in his mouth.
John Starks is my favorite Knick. But that Game 7 performance against Houston still gives me heartburn. Or maybe it was the spam musubi I had this morning.
Love Torres reel.
I heard that if you put a Knicks ticket on your dashboard you can park in a Handicap zone.
When’s the last time UH got more than one Buff n Blue to commit in the same year?
Jimmy you’re making my Friday. Keep em coming.
What’s the difference between a can of spam and CG?
The can.
Good morning Tsaikos….!!!
Welcome to all the new Warriors!!!
Keep on training men…Keep on training!!!
Why do Knicks fans whistle while they are taking a dump? So they know which end to wipe.
Good afternoon!
Last day of prep for the kids.
There are 7 of us on campus — all in my lab.
I hope they are going to be ready and in competition form!
45!
Good morning Tsaikos!
Happy Aloha Friday!
Nice to see more local boys opting to play for the home team.
BTW, did everyone on Oahu feel the earthquake last night?
btw…mark atuaia has been hired by his alma mater, byu that is, as an assistant coach. story goes he did express interest in the Hawaii position. however, we needed that other kahuku legend to run our oline.
so which one of you early posters have “naughty” sites still open?
one of you did open the flood gates to the spam attack (again).
jm411…no, I thought it was the boss’ snoring.
locals boys staying home…it was simple really. all along it was simple to have happen.
its like getting a date with the best looking girls for your prom date…all you gotta do is ask!
worst case scenario is a denial, which puts you exactly where you started from.
Like the commercial says “We want more, we want more!”. Keep them commits comin!
I thought the commercial said,
“It’s better to be fast to not be beaten by a werewolf, and then you’ll be turned into one. And you’ll have to stay in, and then you have to get shaved, because you’ll be too hot. And then you’re like raaraaraaraaraa which means I wish I was back to a human.”
Looks like someone did a liquid lunch.
Saw a couple Pre-season predictions for UH from the national publications:
SB Nation: 4-5 wins
Athlon Sports: 1 win
—
Side Note… Vegas has Hawaii at 30-1 to win the National Championship this year.
(Note: this is the “field” bet for all teams that don’t have individual odds).
In reality, 5 Dimes has UH at +990000. So… you’re saying there’s a chance?
Just to follow up on my earlier post…. Both SB Nation and Athlon made no mention of the injuries that plagued UH last year. Being national services, they typically don’t have a good beat on what’s been going on at UH or other non-BCS schools not named Boise St.
Ponojr,
2007 Punahou recruits Miah Ostrowski & Drew Uperesa. Both grayshirted til, spring 2008
GO RAINBOW WARRIORS!
HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY!
So, Ellison is buying Go! airlines. How about a business partnership with the UH Warriors. A marketing slogan like…
Go! Rainbow Warriors!
or
Go! Bows!
No good? Okay, little latitude, please. Its Friday after all.
Have a great weekend, folks!
Jimmy………brah, you funny!
Hmmm, I enjoy my liquid refreshments too. Hope I don’t turn into a spammer. Hehe
Hey it Pau Hana Time on the West Coast! Who else is “Tirsty”?
I just posted a fat free spam.
I know two bee’s who were thirsty and went into a bar, a couple of drinks later they were buzzing.
Mahalo BigWave96744.
Family friend recently traveled to Big Island on Go!
There was such a backlog, they were stuck at the Hilo airport for six hours waiting for the return flight.
Like magic the spam was rounded up and zapped.
Maybe Go! will paint one of its planes with the Warrior H.
If not Alaska then Go!? Does not look like Hawaiian will ever do it.
DAMIEN!!!!!!!!!! Awesome kid to coach when I was at Keaau. He is a play maker when he is comfortable. And he is looking more and more comfortable as I see pictures and videos of him. Represent those cougars Damien!
Hilo-Warrior:
He’s a very humble guy.
Joke Friday?
I see a friend of mine and ask him how’s his love life? He answers “I had sex with 3 ladies at the same time. I call it a 4 some.”
The next week, same guy, same question. His answer “I had sex with 2 ladies at the same time and I call it a 3 some.”
The following week, same guy, same question. His answer, “I had sex with a lady and I call it a 2 some.”
Last week I see the guy again and ask him how’s his love life? His answer, “I didn’t have any ladies so I had sex by myself.” I call him hand some.
So………… Huzzit, anybody call you handsome?
#68~ST, You may erase it if you think it unappropiate.
Pau Hana!
Is the spammer’s length of post compensating for his . . . short coming?
73.
That is a good number!
Nytal!

Good Evening Folks!
Hope ya’ll doing fine this evening!
Go Warriors! Beat USC!
Pat Riley, ex coach of the lakers dynasty which included, of course, magic, kareem worthy, scott, rambis, has a lot to do with miami heat success. how’s james playing point guard for a bit there in the 2nd half? magic johnson inspired, 6′-9″ point guard-like.
Saw an interview today wMagic and Labron sitting side by side. Magic looked skinny next to Labron.
Haka, this is Damien Packer

Here’s the back story:
Dustin Elisara calls out to me: “Hey, he wants to make his Warrior Beat debut.”
I’m like, ‘huh”?
Elisara said to snap a picture. So, I do, and when Packer leaves, I ask: Who’s that?

Good morning!
