Signing day

Let’s go Warriors!!!!!!

As Wednesday morning arrives, I want to thank Doris for all that she has done and continue to do. It is easy to talk or (write on a blog) but she is actively helping our student athletes throughout the year. From combines, to clinics, to SAT prep classes, to establishing a clearinghouse and hosting their videos and information, she does quite a bit all through the year. And of course, for all this work, she gets paid nothing.

This morning we are off to Honolulu for Signing Day and lets see, she organized that too.

Feb 1 should be Doris Sullivan Day for all that she does.

JUST SIGN BABY!

We eagerly await all the good news and bring in the Chow era. Go Warriors !!

Morning, everyone!

Got my Gameday Green on. Actually, got extra green on for this day. Sure feels like a Gameday!

Welcome to all our new Warriors!

My apologies if anyone asked previously, but does anyone know if any Hawaii signings will be streaming live? Mahalo!

Good morning Tsaikos everywhere.

Good news is here today! Thanks for becoming Warriors you guys!! thank you thank you.

and then i find we got a genius in da far East.

If our young men choose to go away, good on them, experience a big program.

If our young men choose to stay home, good on them, experience a big world.

From a business point of view, no matter what degree you present at a job interview there is always someone who can do it better and cheaper then you. What will save/help you are your connections.

To you recruits sitting on the fence, read the book “The World Is Flat” by Thomas Freeman. Basically, U.S. workers are getting outpaced behind workers from all over the world. Unless any graduate in the U.S. understands what is happening and going to happen in Asia, he/she is at a huge disadvantage.

This is where UH and the East-West Center proves it’s worth. The world is flattening out and the U.S. is not at the pinnacle anymore, nor are U.S. students. However, the student who understands Asia will climb the ladder quicker. And in Asia, they don’t care much for football, they care more about culture, relationships. In contrast in the U.S. we are more ego-centric, individualistic.

So when you choose your university, think of course about football, but also think about this-China annually has over 1 million unemployed college graduates who are equal to or better then the average U.S. graduate. India is the same. When you graduate, more then any of us here you will be facing competition from top students by the tens of millions from India, China, Korea, Singapore, etc…

So my opinion is this for the current generation graduating from high school…is a degree from Hawaii or Washington or wherever else going to make a difference? No, it won’t. However, what will are two things. First is your connections, and second is your understanding of Asia.

I’m saying this because I’m based in Southeast Asia. I can tell you kids from UH excel here and make a name because kids from Hawaii are blessed with understanding both East and West. To you recruits, think bigger. Think football, think degree, then think job or creating a business. I can 100% guarantee you what you do after college will be influenced from Asia. Understand a “flat” world, and understand where Hawaii and Hawaii’s people are undeniably uniquely poised to shine.

Governor, are you hearing me? Put money in football, put money in almost anything UH. Market UH all over Asia-not just Japan and China because this generations opportunities will come from such things as MNCs in Southeast Asia. It’ll come from the thousand of independent U.S. business owners who need a U.S. link in Asia or has an understanding or connections in Asia.

For you recruits, I know this was long, but so is college and so is your life. My opinion, stay home because when the pads come off, your connections and your understanding of culture will separate you from the millions of degree holders you will be competing with. And culture, understanding and respecting cultures comes natural to all of us in Hawaii. It may seem simple to us, but in other places in the world to have an American who respects and understands your culture is huge deal. This is where UH and things like the East-West Center, the sheer diversity of the people and cultures in Hawaii will clearly make you more desirable in the “real world” then you ever were as a recruit.

As I first started off,

If our young men choose to go away, good on them, experience a big program.

If our young men choose to stay home, good on them, experience a big world.

whew. that was simply awe inspiring, Moocher! awesome!

@8,

Very good sign…

Welcome to our University of Hawaii Warrior Football Team! This is a new dawn and a new day for Warrior football! Mahalo to the hard work of Coach Chow and staff for bringing us the best scholar athletes to Manoa!

Good morning Warrior Faithful! Welcome to the Warrior Ohana to all new commitments.

Good morning Tsaikos!

Welcome to all the new Warriors signing their LOIs today.

GO WARRIORS!

Mahalo BHF2

I wanted Norwood, but I am glad we got Chow. Coach Chow can and will shape these men and enhance both their classroom experiences and their life experiences.

At some point you have to trust other people and who can you trust more then family. Who better to prepare you for life-your family and people who have been there.

At some point every recruit should think about not only their dreams, but the support system and the circle of people they surround themselves with to open doors and find success for the rest of their life.

Choose wisely and best of luck.

Good morning, βρεω808! Good morning, gangees!

Saw Doris on da news at the Sheraton for signing day. MAHALO, Doris, for all you do.

ST ~ You there?

Welcome to all of the new Warriors!

Good luck to all of the student-athletes going to other colleges & universities. Graduate and make your families proud.

Have a great day, gang!

I’m super confused on Taliulu. Didn’t he commit to UH two days ago??

50… Fonua, Ursua….

good morning tsaikos. all right, right now st shows a dozen signees. i hope to see later in the day about 6-8 more signees. to all da new warriors, thank you and welcome. it was worth waiting for today and coach chow and his crew is doing a very good job of assembling a solid foundation for da warriors.

one door closes, another opens

Given that Justin Turner still has academic stuff he needs to complete, is that why he is not on the list? Same for Sione Lavaka?

BIK

Remember, recruiting ‘aint over. I’m sure we will see a few more signees before the week is over.

BIK

Looks like Fiso signed with Arizona State

#58 speak for yourself

Maybe the whole state you talking is your own personal “state”

What impression or what message would you like to give local and mainland recruits?

I agree with jeezy33 56.

Did I mention I totally agree with 56?

Taliulu reminds me of Steve. not dat he’s going away, make @$$ da way he wen leave.

but I agree. Good for WASSU. and good for us too.

anyway, i agree with d1shima too. one door closes, another door opens. no doubt about it. Coach Chow gonna get a more solid minded recruit, knows where he’s going.

Go Warriors.

overall, pretty disappointing class.

Not enough skill level talent…

Glad we are stocking up on big boys but we all knows speed kills and this class is lacking it..

Lets hope we still have a chance at Carnell Boyd and Marrell Jackson

now to wait for k sai, b fonua, and s lakalaka. those 3 are setting the foundation of future warriors from hawaii hs. it also puts our coaches in play for future players from hawaii hs which is supa.

Rumors are that Taliulu will be asked to grayshirt at Wazzu. That would be hilarious if true.

Wow Taliulu made a real U turn

Scout.com has Hawaii and the other new members listed under the Mountain West Conference.

I like Anthony Pierce! I think he’ll be an impact player!

72. I have a pretty good idea on the recruiting class though. It is mostly linemen. We needed to catch up on TE so I do understand.

Just stating an obvious fact that this class will lack speed.

I didn’t expect a great class considering the timing of things.

Just sucks when we got close to so many talented players but just couldn’t seal it.

Well like I said, I hope we can find a way to get Marrell Jackson and Carnell Boyd here. It is very late so most of the good ones will be signed

We need to welcome the guys who decide to sign on to be a Warrior. We also need to wish good luck to those players who decide to go away. There is no hate in THEIR decision.

Emeril Lagasse “happy, happy, happy. Bam!” That’s probably how us Hawaii faithful feel about Taliulu’s switch to WSU. Oh well, the sun will rise tomorrow in Honolulu. You know the temperature in Pullman, Wa now? Freezing. I’ve been there. That’s why I live here.

Yup get 4 more recruits coming in this weekend.

porgot, to all our tsaikos, enjoy, cheer, and feel good. your mind and body deserves it.

Good riddance Taliuli. Weather in Pullman, WA, sucks during the winter. Sort of reminds you of Siberia!

Two years down the road, “See mom, I told you I should have signed with UH! It’s too cold up here!”

Mom says, “Taylor give coach Chow a call, see if he’ll catch you on the rebound.”

Chow says, “Simba, that’s the circle of life, unfortunately the circle closed to you two years ago.”

so how come

Kekoa and Pride

not standing up for Kamehameha? 😀

KKEA 1420 SUCKS!!! NLOI Day and all Bobby Curran talk about is his Giants and Super Bowl. Last straw. Boycotting their Advertising products.

Pocho, I’m cracking up man!

wish him good luck. move on.

ho boy. 100 and it ain’t even 8 am

96.

What is your point??? I don’t care he chose WAZZU. I care that he committed 2 days ago and decommits last night… That’s no class and lack of maturity. Just dont commit to Hawaii and wait it out if you were still considering WAZZU

Dan-O

das what i was trying fo tell brudda T.

“what should be one ofthe most exciting days of this young man’s career may turn out otherwise. ”

you sound like a lawyer. 😀 da oddawise wen give you away.

like most peeps, i really no kea. its da make @$$ aspect dat makes me all habut cuz das a reflection on my bros and sis who went Kam schools. 😆

maybe das why Pride no stay writing. 😆 maybe he stay comatose.

Re #96, spare us the Pac 12 snobbery. WSU has no more to offer academically than UH Manoa. The Carnegie Foundation rates them both as “Very High Research” doctoral universities, which puts them both in the top 2% of colleges and universities nationally. U.S. News & World Report rates them both as tier 1 national universities, which also puts them both in the top 2%. They are both national standouts in certain areas, for example WSU in chemical engineering, veterinary medicine and agricultural science and UH in astronomy, geophysics and oceanography. People take UH far too much for granted. It isn’t Stanford, but neither is WSU.

Fields: “great day to be a warrior”

KITV website says Brostek chose Washington

BC is a donkey. Not covering LOI for Hawaii recruits, sad.

So, who else are we waiting on today?

Well said, Tom! Ramsay Wharton live now on KFVE.

I wonder if Fields was messing with Hawaii fans whole time. Hard to imagine UDUB going juco route with all these blue chips they are signing

@96,

It’s not that he’s going to a PAC-12 school. Just a little annoyed that he committed to UH on Sunday and is putting our coaches in a bind. I’m sure Coach Chow will find a way to fill the scholarship with another talented player, so I’m sure it’s not a big deal.

Boycott 1420am advertising products!! BC is an idiot for not talking about a big day for UH football. BC is an R-tard.

Agree that Taliulu was classless. Why publicly announce you want to carry on the tradition, represent Hawaii, blah, blah, blah, then two days later change your mind.

Nobody is railing on Brostek for choosing UW, because he handled the situation far more professionally. Good luck to him.

ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:

The ones who are pooh poohing those who decided to not go to UH…are these the so-called UH fans who will boo them when they take the field against the Warriors? Remember Micah Matsuzaki for BYU? That was pretty shameful of some of the UH Fans to boo him.

Ron Fields is gonna be a Warrior!!

Losing Brostek and Fiso stung a little, but all in all a decent first recruiting class for NC. I like how we’re getting taller and bigger guys, not only the linemen but across the board. Should definitely help with the new offensive/defensive schemes we’ll be running.

@128,

That’s disappointing.

Any reveals on “rebounders”? Would this be the day when that would be announced?

Any surprises in the works or is this it?

#128…my take? Pull the offer. Either you want to come here, or you dont. Considering more options means he’s getting/waiting some late offers.

I agree with #108-Buffoman totally.. It is what it is.. we gotta remember that while we call them young men, they’re still boys in lots of respects. Even as adults, we just try to make the best decisions we can.. what we think is “right”.. just think about the stresses that our kids are under when faced with a decision like this..

I wish ALL our kids the best, whether they decide to stay or go away.. yeah of course we want them to play for the Warriors! But we gotta let them go too.. and don’t say things like “hate”..

thanks for ALL the recruits that signed with the Warriors.. no matter where u may come from!

any word on Shane Brostek? or did i just miss any news…

Quite a few good receuits. But most of all, a disappointing class nonetheless.

The thing people have to remember about Taliulu is that he committed to Washington St very early on and had nothing but good things to say about his visit there. I keep hearing that people are upset that he de-committed from us to go there but no one is really mentioning that he had to de-commit from Washington St first. He probably went to his visit to Manoa and bonded with the guys and ended up making an emotional decision to stay home. Upon further reflection he decided to stick to his original commitment…nothing wrong with that. The fact is, he was solid with WSU and didn’t even have to visit Manoa. I give him props for keeping his mind open and wish him luck.

I haven’t listened to BC this morning, but it is a joke if he doesn’t cover recruiting at all. Colin Cowherd talked recruiting this morning and if is front and center on the ESPN and SI websites.

#145 – Brostek headed to UW

I hope and Chow and staff can coach better than they recruit.

Signing day 2012 BABY!! Welcome to the Warrior Ohana to all the new dudes! To others who chose to go elsewhere, much luck and hope our teams meet one day.

Best way to boycott BC is to not listen to his show. He’s a joke and it’s too bad we have to listen to his play calling cuz if it wasn’t for my love for UH sports, he’d be turned off a long time ago!

Is that Long Snapper still walking on?

crap gangie at least for today be happy in the recruits who signed with da warriors and will stay home. in addition also be of good spirit and aloha for those who got the opportunity to play at oddah places.

get over it cause it is what it is ……….. NUFF SAID

Funny how you guys say this class is not good cause we never get this guy or that. None of these dudes even played a down yet, none of them have been coached up yet by our Coaches, none of them have hit Coach Tommy’s workout regimen. No worry some of these guys going be stars, some role players, some may be scout team guys… Regardless not every big name player makes an impact at the college level. Some guys blossom in college and it all depends on the individuals work ethic. From what I see these boyz Coach recruited are all beasts as each was either an All-Star or impact player in their own respective leagues. That tells me they have the will and desire to be outstanding players and will work hard to continue their path… Just wait and see… If Taliulu like go to WSU, then that’s cool, wish you was a Warrior but no make any difference to me. Yeah it sucks but as long as they know their roots and where they from and still represent then all is good. Take for instance Manti Te’o, sucks he never consider UH but look at what he is doing at Notre Dame. Bruddah is one of the best linebackers in the nation and one easy choice to be a first round draft pick in the NFL. When people talk about him, he always knows where his roots is at and he represents Hawaii. Shute why you think everybody is trying to tap into the Polynesian triangle to recruit nowadays. We pump out more talent on the college and professional football level than almost every other state. Besides California, Texas, and Florida, Hawaii is right there in terms of talent level for football. At least Coach Chow and Coach Rauscher making the effort to tap our own backyard for seeds to plant in our own soil. Some seeds going grow roots someplace else but the ones who like our soil garrans going blossom once our Coaches nurture them the right way. I get full faith things going to be even better than before. June Jones was great, Coach Mack was great, now Coach Chow is going to take us to that next level…

Taylor Taliulu said some pretty bold things that were quoted in both the printed SA as well as on this blog. In the end, he couldn’t walk the walk but could only talk the talk.

I wish him well.

Very good prospects. Good job to all coaches and thank you for choosing

University of Hawaii. Go Warriors!!

On my #162, I’d really appreciate any answer. I have to go now to take care of some business. I will catch up. IMHO it’s turning out to be a great day in recruiting. Remember, we got 4 more coming in this weekend. Aloha.

Who the hell cares where these kids go to SCHOOL? A very small percentage — whether they play at UH or abroad — will make it to the next level. Has anyone looked at UH as an academic institution versus schools like UW, OSU or USC? Those of you who question a high school senior’s decision of where to attend college are just missing the bigger picture. Wish them well if they leave and welcome those who choose to be Warriors. Period.

uhbooster…

T.J. Alofipo played at AWC but I’m not sure where he is at now. He really wasn’t too much of an impact guy at A-dub and played sparingly.

Zach Quines is still at AWC playing and working on his associates to transfer I believe. I see him all the time on campus and around town. He is a guy I hope makes it back to the aina. This year he started on and off and played hurt. Regardless Coach Minnick had him as a hybrid DE/LB and he was an impact on the field. He is rangy and pretty quick but the thing is bruddah Zach can lay the smack down and plenty mean hits this year. I’m not sure if he’s eligible for D1 status yet and might have another year here at AWC…

ppj2,

To me das in the “fun fak” category for fans.

For parents, stuff like:

– How many graduate in 4 or 5 years?

– How many go on to post-graduate programs?

– How many end up in a satisfying career?

– How many end up in a community that lets them flourish?

das mo’ important.

Wacchu tink?

The real question is.. have they addressed the needs and weak spots in the team with these recruits?

http://www.facebook.com/HawaiiAthletics has been updated with tidbits regarding the recruits.

d1,

#175 is right on….and den some 🙂

D1,

It’s ok because with callers like Stan fr downtown, Mike from Waimanalo, “Bruddah Bobby”, and Gary Dickman’s favorite “Matthew” they will have a good amount of callers still yet.

People should try check out MANOA UNDERGROUND as well…

Wednesdays at 7pm. 😎

While I like NC first recruiting class, it ain’t much different than Mack’s or JJ as far as the local players go. We have always managed to get a few of the top 10 guys, usually towards the bottom of that top ten and it hasn’t changed with Chow yet. It doesn’t matter who we have at Coaching, until we become a consistant winning team or improve facilities we are going to have a hard time landing the top guys. To do so we need to start selling out the stadium. The program needs money to be successful. So for all of you who complain about players who go away, if you ain’t a season ticket holder you have no right to complain. What are you doing to help this program?

ST, the neighborhood kids all play for Waianae.

you guys are seriously getting carried away with all this recruits/commitments. two words: pesefea fiaseu. remember him? st louis running back, I think he was a 3 star prospect that many pac 10 schools wanted… and what, he played maybe a dozen downs total in his career at UH? relax people!! be patient coz most of these guys won’t see light of day in playing time for another couple years. let the players play, the the coaches coach.

Remember loi lasts for bout a month.

great day to be a WARRIOR! one step at a time. the first few steps have been taken. get plenty more to go. patience. watch the transition, enjoy the show.

WELCOME NEW WARRIORS!

Whenever we play a team that has a local player on their roster, I feel bad for that player’s family. They gotta sit on the other side away from friends and possibly other family… or bite their tongue on the Warrior side if they are season ticket holders.

and above all else, wen the signing is pau…

Tell Ma!

😉

I normally do not follow recruiting until letter of intent day– there is just too much noise (exception this year because it is Chow’s first).

And this was pretty much the policy of most of the news stations. You get better information following Scout and Rivals if you want that information and now you have this blog too.

Curran really has a larger audience and they don’t care about the on again and off again news like you guys. They want to know who did we get and what does coach Chow think of them. And non of the coaches can comment until the LOI comes in.

As soon as Chow comments– at 2 PM Press Conference, ESPN 1430 is covering it. Curran occasionally covers recruiting, when he interviews coaches or news guys or the Scout or Rivals people. He should have Tsai and Paul Honda on along with guys from Scout and Rivals. But again, this is like reality TV to most people until the coaches can talk about what they got.

196…there’s a side story to it. but, not at this time.

who was fonua contemplating on other than UH last night?

Good things will happen by being patient. I’m confident Chow and Co. will get some real steals soon. And we haven’t talked much about the walk-ons yet. Looking for that big leg of a kicker.

ST, get the word out to Norm Chow that UCLA over signed and ATH Tairen Owens is now available

what ever happened to chad lopati?

RB kenny walker also available. mannnn ucla is really screwing these kids over by oversigning.

In case you’re interested… At 1pm Hawaii time they will play the International Bowl on CBS Sports and stream it on the web, as well. Team USA vs the World. http://www.usafootball.com/InternationalBowl

216 Desmond: Ditto, I meant that

Not expecting Fanaika to sign with Hawaii.

Awsome recruites…Mahalo, Coach Chow and staff…great job!

“Lets Go Warriors”

make us fans proud. (Haa’heo)

New recruits + current roster players + late transfers/signees + Coach Chow and staff = Very exciting times ahead for UH Football.

Can’t wait til spring ball. Can’t wait til fall camp. Can’t wait til SC!

GO WARRIORS!!!

Considering Chow had less than a month to get at it, I’m impressed. He was definitely swimming upstream vs programs that had years to work on building relationships with some of these kids. Chow has established a very good starting point to build on in future recruiting years.

217…possibly why Lakalaka is a Warrior not a Bruin right now…

Jus playing

d1 what time you tel ma?

Don’t forget we have Taylor Graham and a bunch of other very good recruits from outside Hawaii!!! This year’s recruiting class is awesome and is better than what it would have been without Norm Chow!!!!!!!!

180 Bulla: Great message for all of Hawaii’s student athletes that committed today to attend a university to further prepare them for their future.

i like this, da warriors unda coach chow are undefeated right now. sounds excellent.

Congrats to all those student-athletes who landed a Division I scholarship whether it be on the continent or UH. Lot of work behind signing day. Mahalos to all of the coaches, teachers, counselors, and parents who made a lot of this possible for these young men. IMHO,local players going away is a good thing for those who wish to do so. I look forward every Saturday on the TV to seeing local athletes representing the 808 – it speaks well for the quality of high school football in Hawaii. I also am really looking forward to Coach Chow and his staff having a full year to recruit and the rewards that may be forthcoming in 2013.

Gotta remember, as one coach said, it’s all a crap shoot with regards to recruiting. You really don’t know how a player will pan out until they put the pads on.

i dont understand the grousing. we picked-up some quality players on the line, brought in three studs at the LB position, stocked the shelves with 3 QBs and are set to go at TE. plus we are awaiting word on fields and turner, two stellar DBs with more luster and experience than taliumu. dejon allen is as good or better (better imo) than brostek and his commit to hawaii had huskie fans fuming in bewilderment on their website. moreover, we aint done. further, this kid lance williams maybe the sleeper of this recruiting class. look at his films, his size and gittyup. he plays with instinct and hits to maim. like fiso, he pursues in a straightline. he runs through blockers or by them and uses his hands and feet well to avoid blocks. dont forget our linebackers will be personally mentored by our DC–Thom Kaumeyer. linebacking his is forte.

Im not too sure about Woolsey or Alo, different systems in HS, but again, Chow will be their mentor.

too early to evaluate, but this for sure. look at the geography and the connects of Chow & Co. these guys are mainstreamers and tied into networks from several angles in the west coast, NW and south eastern parts of the US. we have yet to see the best from Chris Demarest. i heard he can recruit. idk if chris will work his old networks (east coast) or establish himself in regions out west.

UCLA “over signing”:

me no sabe – how can a school over sign when they know of the 25 “new” scholarship per year NCAA rule?

say, they signed 29 players – are the “extra” 4 players not entitled to the benefits of the first 25, by contract? IF UCLA, can just say “sorry” we signed too many, will the NCAA “punish those that are released by UCLA (must sit out one year before transferring)” or is UCLA required to count the 4 towards claas of 2013?

how is it that Udub can offer a player during the so-called 48 hour dead period before NOLI day? or, did the offer come before the 48 hour or did the player contact the school?

oopppps, forgot about the 1 phone call rule – damn, so many stinking rules!!!

reminds me of the 99% versus the 1% – rich or BCS schools get all the gravey and cake toppings!!

#245 Who is Chris Demarest? Is he a coach for us? What does he do for UH?

Remember when Mack had less than a month to recruit in 2008? I think for the most part Mack’s solid recruiting efforts were very much so underrated.

249: He is our special teams coach. He used to be at Rutgers.

Trust me I am not complaining about signing Steve. He is a great player- UCLA will be pissed they let him get away

WELCOME NEW WARRIORS!!!

@243 OldSchoolDave

I look forward every Saturday on the TV to seeing local athletes representing the 808 – it speaks well for the quality of high school football in Hawaii.

Like PRIDE and I said before – those local athletes represent UCLA, USC, UDub,WAZZOU, Oregon but they do not represent 808.

They are from 808 and they do speak well for the quality of high school football in Hawaii, but they do not represent Hawaii.

@252,

I don’t mean to compare the two coaches. I was just pointing out that Mack did a decent job of recruiting that year in limited time as well.

Given the circumstance, I think Coach Chow did an outstanding job recruiting this year.

koakane, i think here in hawaii, most are honorable so they do respect an athlete on scholarship from another coaching staff. to be a cut throat is not how we live in hawaii.

cause nothing is sacred till you sign the bottom line, sometimes it is good to see others like coach sark get a poke in his arse. he lost his top wr to ucla.

LauraK,

I’d settle for 4 or 5. BCS schools have always played the faciities, tv exposure and the leave home-growup cards against UH in recruiting.

Now they’re also playing the conference relignment card against UH. They’ll holdup their list of

conference games for 2013 then show Hawaii’s with Boise and SDSU X’d out and Air Force with a ?.

Like Coach said, they know they have a duanting task ahead of them but they won’t back down from any challenge.

congrats to all the signees (sp?)

OK, I get it!

over recruting = getting commitments which is understandable for various reasons

over signing = school signed or awarded more than the 25 new scholarships per year which is a “no no”.

“slap on the wrist” is standard pushisment for BCS schools by the NCAA – and, agreed that certain HC will continue to do so until a ‘bad thing” happens – by then, he will be long gone and school will be held to the “lack of instutitional” phrase used by the NCAA.

so, if all the BCS schools decide to “dump” the NCAA and form their own whatever, wonder what the NCAA will do? fold? look da odda weigh?

notice ESPN’s top 10 recruiting schools for 2012? 5 or 6 are from the SEC.

will OC 12 show the 2 pm conference?

1) We have had a 3 assistant coaches on our show from UH so far. Check our archives on the website, the interviews might be there. We were asked by UH to lay off the interview requests during this recruiting period, so we will have more coach interviews coming up.

2) Norm Chow Press Conference today at 2pm on 1420 and espn1420am.com

MAHALO! GREAT DAY TO BE A WARRIOR FAN!

while recruiting our home boys is vital, strategically speaking, it is not the measuring cup used to evaluate a recruiting class. we need to keep our eyes on the bouncing ball.

look, more polynesians live outside of polynesia than inhabit. not even close. there is a goldmine of talent out there in california, las vegas, utah, texas, etc. that might give Chow & Co an edge, BC these kids want to identify with their roots. however, there are inherent problems too that come with the mainland territory im sure coach is ma’a. bottomline, you look for character and solid academics.

#259 Tom Mui: Don’t disagree with you. It’s still fun to watch local players playing on national TV, even if I may not be rooting for that particular team. Example: it was cool to see Chester Sua from Kaimuki HS playing for WAZZU, simple because I can’t remember the last time a Bulldog playing D-I ball besides Kila Kamakawiwaole back in 2005. Before Kila, the most recent Bulldog to play D-I was Togi Veu back in 1985.

Does anyone know what Benny Fonua’s decision was? Assuming he had some late offers? From who?

WAZZU offers a “college experience” being in a college town. Not much to do in Pullman and that can be a negative. Case in point, the number of football players that had run-ins with the law during Paul Wulff’s tenure there. On the other hand, with few distractions, players can concentrate on going to class, studying, training, practice, etc. I think it takes a special individual, as Jack “The Throwin Samoan” Thompson said to attend WAZZU and be successful and not just some party animal.

“Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life” Funny quote from the movie Animal House.

I understand that prior grayshirts/scholies Penitito Faalologo and Ipulasi Eselu will also be on the upcoming roster (although on scholies from previous years, as will be Alo).

If so, those are two more linebackers.

BTW what happened to David Katina? Is he still around?

Sorry if I offended anyone with that quote from the movie Animal House. I meant no ill towards anyone.

Peace

No complaints towards the Animals.

I enjoy the Sports Animals. 😎

Makes sitting in traffic tolerable.

Chris Hart,

Hope that # is a number at the station and not your personal #.

You never know who or what is on the interent.

Overall, I think Norm and his staff did well in filling those positions of need. I see the remaining 4-5 positions being “discretionary” if there ‘s a super talent that becomes available or to build depth.

I remember when ASU and Wayne Apuna came to town in 1979. Apuna was a Parade HS AA. At the start of the game UH fans were cordial – “Hey, local boy made good in the Pac-10” and all. But after a few tackles and animated gestures, the UH fans turned on Apuna. UH went on to win that game. I read that Apuna and Jesse Sapolu took their recruiting trip to ASU together and that Sapolu was to sign with them. However, when UH coach Dick Tomey visited the Sapolu family’s home, he won over Jesse’s family and he signed with UH.

Joe Onosai was another local athlete who I believe was going to sign with UW back in 1983. UW was here for the Aloha Bowl and Onosai was watching them practice at Cooke Field. UH coach Dick Tomey saw Onosai watching UW practice and he quickly ran down to talk to Joe. Joe eventually signed with UH.

the fields sounds good.

bowwar, there might be one at uh now, not sure. if he is there, he will need to sit out this season, but this kid is better than what we have now. plus he get speed.

i guess this group of recruits does not shine to sum, but coach chow and his crew were not looking for shiners, but solid players who will work hard to meet the coaching standards. am glad to see that discipline is a priority and am sure responsibility is not too far behind.

Norm did a great job considering the time he had.

But he has to do a lot better next year and the years following– we need to raise the level of our talent and combine that with coaching to get more out of our talent.

Scanning the internet to see how some of the other teams at our level (and teams like Houston, BYU, SMU, TCU, and San Diego State who are moving past our level), we have a long way to go and it will take increasing our talent across the board to match what other teams are doing. We need to do better just to keep up with the MWC.

it’s official, welcome to the warrior ohana ronald fields.

Manoa, i understand about the top-10 based on recruiters and scouts. the top-10 i’m talking about is the SA’s top-10. i don’t know what their criteria is to be top-10 but looking at the post season recognition Fonua got by the SA one would think he’d be in the SA top-10. no?

I love the posts that slam this years recruits and grumble about the ones that got away. Sounds like a dork who goes to the Prom only to complain to his date all night night about how much he wants to check out the girls sitting on the other tables. No class! No balls!

Keep posting please.

No need to advise them on continuing their rants.

Loneliness, delusion, and internet access ensures they will continue.

wow, Fields has blurry speed!

Couch potato,

For a DB he has good hands.. good vision.. speed and finds the holes while working the impromptu blocks. He might also make a good scat back.

Now is the time to scourge through the players that ended up on the short list from over recruiting at the PAC 12 schools.

Oops.. not Ron Fields but that other corner.. the shorter guy.. LOL.. I”m all confused.

many are overlooking gaps in positions that coach chow has to fill immediately.

sexy is good but the grunts win the war.

This year class shaping up to be a good one. With more to come!!!!

madeinhawaii, either way, looks like the Warriors got a couple of good cb’s.

…and take your meds. 😆

#305: Huh? A speedy kicker? I hope we get a few kids who were “left” by universities which over recruited.

324 & 328 . . . Hold hands and walk on the beach? No way, its too hot, and sand gets in your shoes. Not to mention that there is always the chance of a tsunami. The beach is just no fun. Besides, it might rain, and then what? The day is ruined. Forget it, the day would have been ruined anyway even if it didn’t rain. Not to mention the chance of getting hit by a car on the way. That would suck too, and would probably happen, because those kinds of things always happens. Man, this is just typical. The sky must be falling. All of this, on top of a disappointing recruiting class? Are you kidding me? Good thing its 2012 and the end of the world is near.

We didn’t land any DE this year, would be nice if we could bring in atleast one speed rusher. Something that we have been laking.

339 AIIG– where did you hear about RB?

He was interviewed and said he was being given a shot at QB. Tsai also reported that he would try QB and could be moved if it didn’t work out. He could be a RB, but to me he would work well at receiver.

Press conference was very short and not much revealed…

If we have 18 signees, that means we have 7 scholarships available plus potential “gray-shirts”…

Otto, did you see? no mo Noga’s in CoH.

On a positive note, what coming from me. The Warriors seem to have the making of an excellent Defensive Seconday, with Fields, Edwards, Tuliau, and hopefully, Turner, or Pierce. What is better, they will be all underclassmen next year. Meaning they will be around for at least 2 years.

Obviously, by the posts and comments of the recent past; we have been denigrating (by fixating on what we want, rather than what we need) the the ability of the team members currently enrolled in the system. I’ve been luriking during the previous week and have found, that if I were a present player on scholarship; my worth would not be as great , as those we are seeking.

What the present coaching staff (in my opinion) is looking fo,r is what will enhance what we currently have, and build on it.

Lakalaka reminds me of Junior Lopati. I think if he was not hurt, he would have been playing of Sunday’s in the NFL.

The pieces of the puzzle are in place. Let’s see what Coach Chow can do to assemble a winning program.

339 – Dejon Allen is a Defensive End if I’m not mistaken… Leo Koloamatangi can play Defensive End but most likely will be on the offensive side of the ball. We get some defensive ends in the house waiting to shine no worry. Paipai going lead the way…

I think Oregon is also guilty of over recruiting, so it should be interesting to see what falls out of their programs…

I feel we did well for who we are – a mid-major program in a mid-major University with a somewhat more difficult level of admissions. We need to compete for athletes that many of the BCS teams want – athletic and academically successful athletes.

Where we might get a break is in the recruits that are dropped or given gray-shirt options from the PAC 12 schools. A couple here.. a couple there…

Good afternoon Tsaikos everywhere.

and yippee to us for this EXCELLENT class of recruits! most excellent.

the picture of BIG BRUDDA SAI and BOOM SHAKALAKALAKA , if i wuz a chick, i’d put da bruddaz pikcha ova my head. kinda like protection.

I am really happy with this class and as previously stated, there are quality folks returning to learn the new systems from the new staff.

If there seems to be one element that appears to repeat over and over, it is Coach Chow’s desire to be detail oriented. There is a discipline to his approach. May be “old school” but hey, I think it worked well for folks like Coach Saban, MIles and Peterson. His approach to recruiting in a small window was terrific.

I would be surprised if the fundamentals of football were not stressed more strictly if young men wanted to play on Saturday. Hopefully running into a ball carrier and expecting them to fall over will be a tackling technique that will not be acceptable. If our guys tackle like Alabama we’ll stand a very good shot at being competitive in the MWC. We simply did not execute that piece as well as we could have in the past few years.

Run blocking is definitely going to improve and I cannot wait to see the fundamentals instilled in our players.

The new guys have the advantage of not having to re-learn. The returners would need to really pay attention to Coach Chow’s desire to execute to the expectation he is seeking.

DISCIPLINE. Get used to it as I saw it when he first spoke and I don’t believe he is expecting anything less.

Looking forward to a new approach to Warrior football.

Hawaiian to hire flight attendants for expansion.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Hawaiian Airlines Wednesday announced that it is accepting applications to fill up to 175 new flight attendant positions serving its transpacific and neighbor island routes.

Hawaiian says applications will be accepted until February 14 and must be submitted online to Hawaiian’s website for consideration.

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/16656061/hawaiian-to-hire-flight-attendants-for-expansion?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HawaiiNewsNow-News+%28Hawaii+News+Now+-+News%29

that safety from florida, merrell jackson, visiting tomorrow is a stud. he had 9 ints and is 6-1.

no doubt, he is underrated. he can flat out fly and sticks with a hammer. gotta be chris demarest. that’s his territory.

what stood out in the chow press conference today:

1. he estimates 90% of the local athletes already had their minds made up by the time they started recruiting.

2. they are already moving on next year’s class by contacting coaches around hawaii.

3. re homeboys, he wants them to have UNEQUIVOCABLE passion to play for hawaii, otherwise….

4. Chow’s regional strategy is to work inside-out, meaning, Chow & Co will secure their homebase and venture out.

5. they accomplished objectives to fill gaps–TE, OL, DL, LBs, DBs.

6. they are not finished recruiting–three will visit by the weekend.

7. singled out Ben Fonua has the protypical local athlete they are pursuing bc he is passionate about life in general and football in particular. Chow said, Fonua was dressed in shirt and tie during his visit. he also had similar things to say about Steven Lakalaka. coach was impressed by their passion to stay home and become warriors.

8. recruiting is hard work….lot’s of digging. his staff hasnt found permanent accomodations yet. he is about to give them a day off to go golfing or spend a day on the beach.

9. hawaii lost a few at the end bc other schools lost recruits and chased after Hawaii’s booty to cover their losses.

10. this year’s team cannot be accurately evaluated for another 3-4 years. as an example, Chow cited Alabama’s recruiting class of 2008 standing out bc they took the national title in 2012.

11. they hit the road running despite not having the advantage of thoroughly evaluating their team, so spring will help. *(that is prolly the reason for saving a few scholies).

Recruiting became even more cutthroat in the West with all the new coaches emphasizing upgrading talent in the Pac 12, with poaching, departing recruiters taking playrs, and over recruiting and cuttting off earlier commits. Look at the recruiting classes for teams we used to measure ourselves against– Boise, TCU, San Diego State, BYU, Houston, and even SMU– it is scary to see what Norm will need to do to catch up or keep up (and some of that competition will be heading the BCS making it harder to compete).

Next year Norm has more time, but he also has to step up the quality.

WBB K State defeated Texas by 9 tonight, raising their conference record to 6-3.

walang problema. me i enjoying da warriors coaching staff doing their thing right now and look forward to how they organize spring ball and da warriors. know that all of da warriors are working on their off season program, but no forget the class work. take care of your class work and make it easier on yourself.

Congrats and best wishes to all the athletes who signed their LOIs today, be it for FBS, FCS, DII or DIII football or soccer (which the rest of world calls football).

#378: Ralph — She also apparently signed Erica Bates from Dana Hills HS (according to OC Varsity). Earlier, she had a commitments from Lidia Battaglia and Alex Gerrain, but haven’t seen any confirmation yet.

@jm

Today’s not Thursday?

Someone on Sportshawaii is saying that Fehoko Fanaika has chosen Hawaii. Anybody know anything about this?

That’s what I guessed since there was no link.

our recruiting crop can only get better. most excellent job Coach. and I like how you tell us not to evaluate you just yet, gotta wait 3-4 years like Alabama.

okay. i can wait. meantime, i’m gonna yell like heck fo da home team. and get my season tix. yeee haaa!!!!!

Mr. Kiffin in small kine trouble again?

Looks like the majority is satisfied with everything 🙂

not here to argue, but we are at the next level with sum more to go in the future.

Cheehuu 400 for the first time

whitey.

i’m a rebounder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnKmhOu0Gio

Whitey, if Boise St. can do it, why not the Warriors. Hawaii has more talent in the State, then Boise St. does in Idaho. Hawaii has more to attract talent, then Boise St. does. I believe with Coach Chow, the Warriors can get to the level Boise St. is at. Hawaii will never be a USC, or Alabama, but a team like Boise St., is quite attainable. That is all I am looking for. The Warriors being in the Top 25, on a consistent basis. Then with a little luck once in awhile, challenge for the Top spot, which is what Boise St. is doing.

Good day very cool website!! Man .. Excellent .. Wonderful .. I’ll bookmark your web site and take the feeds additionally?I am happy to seek out so many helpful information right here within the post, we want work out more techniques in this regard, thank you for sharing. . . . . .

obviously like your web site but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth however I’ll certainly come again again.

409. geta life. nurthern illinois u is a place to lurn.start.stop. thank yu.

407.408.409. go online rewrite what a woman wants. you got talent. think yu.

If you look at the recruits coming in, what Coach Chow basically did was replace the outgoing Seniors, position by position, with the new incoming recruits. He did not load up on anyone one or two position, that will probably come next year, for depth reasons. What is amazing is that he was able to bring in so many talented Freshman to be. Whereas, the past 2 HC’s basically went the JUCO route with their 1st recruiting class. I give Coach Chow alot of “balls” to recruit the way he did, going after more talented Freshmen.

so Steve.

tell me its true. you starting to get squeezy on me. gettin da tights on Coach.

you starting to admit dis is one smartsmartsupasmart pake. a 1/8 chinee. 😀

das aw’ryte Steve. you can elate a lil. in fak, alot. 😆 c’mon sing wit BHF2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnKmhOu0Gio

c’mon Steve. ” BOOM lakalakalaka BOOM lakalakalaka

promise amadi… back to RB.

Whitey, I have my moments. 😀

To me, the one player who could benefit the most having Coach Chow, is Darius Bright. Think H-Back, put him on a LB, I do not think there is a LB that can keep up with him. The ball is in his court now, he needs to get serious. H-Back is his ticket to the next level.

Per Scout.com, Hawaii’s class of 16 players is ranked 103 out of 124 with three 3 star recruits & avg recruit rating of 2.19 (ranked 7th out of 10 in MWC).

In 2011, Mack’s recruiting class of 25 players was ranked 83 out of 120. with four 3 star recruits & avg recruit rating of 2.16 (ranked 2nd in WAC).

al, according to the UHAD website, there are 18 names, who are the other 3 that are not listed?

you guys can try fo make me calm down all you like. it ain’t happening.

i am THRILLED with our Coach chow. THRILLED.

the numbers rainbowfan stay tellin no take into account da transfer. the numbers also don’t take into account da IT factor, and Coach Chow.

last year we had all kinds of hope, promises of a great year. and look what we got? and we no can blame all dat on injuries.

da fact is there was a lack of DISCIPLINE. thats not happening now, and we all know it.

go Coach Chow!!!!

Go Warriors!!!!

I’ll right away snatch your rss as I can’t to find your e-mail subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Kindly let me know in order that I may just subscribe. Thanks.

I think last year’s grey shirts count towards this years recruits. Not possitive though.

papajoe2, last year’s grey shirts count toward this years recruits. Which ST took into account, so why is al’s count higher then ST’s, or the UHAD website?

Ursua looks more slippery to tackle than a greased pig in his highlite film, but a bit slower than reggie bush ?

sorry guys…but 19 is correct. i forgot to omit jt turner and taliulu.

that’s what happens when you are told by the flt attendant to close your phone already (3 x).

at least two are for a bouncebacker and a transfer.

WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!!!!!!!

al, still get chance for Turner and Hoko?

Ralph–

Here are the UH soccer recruits

Amanda Bates F Aliso Viejo, Calif. Aliso Niguel West Coast FC

Alex Gerrain MF San Clemente, Calif. San Clemente West Coast FC

Carly Mottram MF Mission Viejo, Calif. Mission Viejo West Coast FC

Rachel Steiker D Coto de Caza, Calif. Santa Margarita West Coast FC

Erica Young GK Laguna Niguel, Calif. Dana Hills San Diego Surf

SO….anyone know who’s the 3rd overtime visitor along with Jackson & Lewis this weekend?

thanks BG808, last year’s goalie recruit is no longer on the team. Young comes from one of the better So Cal premier teams- Surf.

fanaika still sitting on the fence

@392 – BHF2 Thanks for the reference!

Props to the UH athletic site and their clip on coach Chow’s interview and the lowdown of the recruits as well as the video hi-lights. That is great and quick work. Keep it up.

808Fringe . . . that is true. Guess it would have been better to say Pacquiao’s camp. I’m not sure how it works, but couldn’t Pacquiao override Arum? Mayweather made a personal offer to Pacquiao for a 50/50 split, but you’re right, it was Arum who said the venue was too small, hence the purse too small.

I must say, as considerably as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a good grasp around the topic matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from much more than one angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so a lot. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think about adjusting your own believed process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.wow gold

Graduated from St. Louis, was a 2-star WR recruit and I think he went to Idaho State last year…

mih…as discussed previously, one bounceback and one transfer.

the bouncebacker will be revealed later if/when it does happen.

the transfer sure sounds like jt turner. hopefully he’ll get his credits in and will accept our scholie.

if this sounds like deja vu, its about as close as we could get having had another jc cb by the name of turner, kenny that is commit only to find out he didn’t have enough credits and subsequently went back to the jc and reopened the recruiting upon attaining hisaa degree.

uh waited only to have another school come in and scoop him up.

Duke Bukowski was practicing with the team during the summer unsupervised. May have helped to make him comfortable coming back home to UH.

Night all!

GO WARRIORS!!!

[Small-world note: MIKE BISCOTTI, if you read the blog (or Don Weir, plz relay) Dave Fukumoto says Hello from FLG!]

Good morning!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Six more weeks of winter . . .
