This may in all probability be rather handy for some of the employment I plan to will not only with my blogging site but …

So sorry you will skip the workshop!…

Couldn’t agree more….chow gets very little for the mess he inherited, give him at least four years, it’s kind of funny how our schedule is tough when our program is in shambles, but when we were good our schedule was weak…. All a matter of timing

Year 1 chow got a free pass. In year 2, the community will expect a winning season. For half a mil a year, we want a winning season. Period. One free year, then you better win the next year.”

A half mill a year for a college coach is pathetic. We pay a half mill less than the last coach.

Almost every school in California pays more than that for their D1 coach and that state is in bad shape.

In Hawaii people concern themselves too much about what people get paid. My tax payer money goes to that…this whatever. Your tax payer dollar goes to much more things that cost more money.

Chow is working for free basically with for a school who still doesnt put soap in the mens showers or cant even have a decent locker room.

Very excited to see how Garcia-Williams and Merrell Jackson develop into year 2. They look like they could be stars. Can’t wait for Tua’au. I think he’s an immediate game changer based on the tape I’ve seen.

The big question marks for Chow’s recruiting the remainder of this offseason will be the OL and WR. UH desperately needs a deep threat to compliment Grahams big arm. In order for deep routes to happen, the OL must improve (and I think they will, with all 5 starters coming back plus the new additions).

UH loses virtually nobody significant to graduation (Falemalu is the only notable Sr this year). We still have to wait for what Edwards will do, but UH’s secondary talent is pretty good. We can already see that Chow has more recruiting areas than Mack had. Utah, Pacific Northwest, Florida were areas that Mack rarely got anybody from unless via transfer. This all points toward major improvement next season.

You can still never know how recruits will turn out but the 1st two classes from Chow are already shaping up to be improvements over Mack’s first two classes. Transfers are needed to fill holes but it;s the prep recruits that form the backbone of college rosters, because they are there for 4-5 years. Chow’s almost had as many freshmen play significant minutes than Mack had in four years. These freshmen will all grow and mature together. Leaders will develop and the lockerroom will rally behind it’s leaders. I think the lack of seniors played a big roll (in addition to the injuries) of why UH played so poorly at times.

Too much reliance on transfers will lead to major gaps in the class breakdown, like what UH had this year (only 15 Seniors of 100+ players). It’s very unusual for a college roster to have fewer than 18 in a junior or senior class.
