A true champion

Awesome.

in top 5

top five?

Hope that the princess will be at the ceremony, so we can see some video.

Thanks for the reminder about the field dedication.

Nightey night!

Hi Stephen,

Is the dedication open to public? I’m sure sj is going to want pictures. Thanks for the info.

we are here…..just doing some research on the new warriors.

Two-O!

The picture that rivals has of Watts is wrong. You can see a picture of Watts here:

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/62/626292.jpg

and here:

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/56/564127.jpg

These are from the articles on his scout.com profile.

and here’s his rivals.com picture.

i am sure that the scout pic is the correct one because the rivals guy looks slow.

Caught only the second half of the Super Bowl, but big shout out to Travis Laboy he played a good game even with the injury.

Dang. Phil the &*($^ groundhog saw his shadow.

New semester starts today. Definitely on the downhill side of the school year.

92 wake-ups to go!

wafan ~ Must be a case of mistaken identity, stop chazing da Mongoose!…It’s all about da Groundhogs up dere across the fruited plains.

Welcome to the Warriors Kalani Brackenridge, John Lister, and Bon Jon Watts!

Good Morning Everybody. Two more days the the moment of truth. That’s when I’ll get excited about our commits.

for the ching field, we should also give special special recognition to bhf2 for his persistent bull dog ways with the contractor’s board and getting !@#$$ to drop his complaint. the others may deserve recognition, but when it came to getting the work actually done, those are the ones we should recognize.

Welcome new recruits.

What is Blackhatbootcamp.com?

Today is the last significant day of the current recruiting season prior to national signing day on Wednesday. This is a one-day “quiet period,” in which contact is allowed only on the university’s campus, essentially for wrapping up official visits. According to Rivals.com, the Ducks’ lone visitor this weekend was defensive tackle Wade Keliikipi. Got this out of
an Oregon newspaper. The Register-Guard out of oregon reported this yesterday.

Wade has a bright future as a Warrior. It would be a shame to leave all that. To leave at the end of recruiting reminds me of how the Browns left Cleveland — packed up the moving fans in the dead of night. We deserved better from one of our own.

Sorry Stephen, I couldn’t hang last night. Sweety just informed me that I officially have a cold. This is some nice toasty news to wake up to!

Does anyone else wonder if we shouldn’t have another strong recruit at O line?

Watts looks like he would have to play as a stand up end if he stayed on the D-line. He would need to pack on about 30 lbs to put his hand on the ground. Maybe moving him to olb is a possibility? He definitely has some speed.

Looks like a few nice pick-ups at the end of the recruiting season.
Like the Steelers, the coaches seemed to have battled ’til the end.

Bruddah Wade doesn’t seem like the type to be swooped up by the facilities that Oregon has, but i guess you never know. Did Belotti even state his intentions to keep on coaching? hope we’re able to keep this one, he’s a good one. good to hear that we were able to keep lopati 🙂

idk though, if doris said so, its pretty much 100% legit.

ST – you should be able to refill a med after a certain amount of time has passed (like 21 days for a 30-day script), check your benefits guide. BTW, you should be doing mail order for all your maintenance meds. It should save you some money. E-mail me for more info if you wish.

Off to a meeting, bbl.

Aloha Everybody,

If Doris is lurking maybe she can chime in on the legitimacy of that before this rumor get’s out of hand. It would be kind of bad for people to start going after this kid if all this is a rumor. But anyways I would feel about the same as ST if Keli’ikipi was to decommit. The name Keli’ikipi and UH just go together. Well see

Re: Wade

Have cal lee call west and make his brother think otherwise………twist his ear west or if anyone else knows the family……call him and tell him that oregon is junk and go say something like “bah!, you going oregon? that team lame!” Pressure the boy….

Also, now another reason to go back to JJ’s ritual of having UH as the last “trip” for recruits……’cause now, look, UH coaches can’t even contact Wade, if it is him, to challenge his decision.

Doris didn’t specifically name Keliikipi, just that “a player called her and said they were going to de-commit” so it really could be anyone. Hopefully, its not him (not that we could afford to have any more decommits at this late stage). I think folks are speculating its him because he recently completed a trip to Oregon and the most recent Scout NW100 doesn’t show him as a Hawaii commit.

Doris did not mention Wade by name, but Wade did trip this weekend, and he is listed on the PIAA website, so he is one of a handful of guys who would call and make that kind of very personal decision known to Doris.

Recruiting is crazy. Somehow the system should be improved so the boys aren’t wiped out by LOI day.

doris says UH is fighting back hard!

on=one

Don’t know if I’ll get SMU’d but chat with JD supposed to start shortly.

Boy, that term “decommit” has become a hated word for me. No more bad news please! Welcome to all the new recruits & I’ll keep my fingers crossed that we’ll get to keep Wade K and all of the others come Wednesday. By the way, hasn’t Lametrius Davis only been here a couple of months?? Didn’t he just join the team himself? If so, he has been a miraculous & effective recruiter for having been here such a short time. Mahalo LD! As for Makaula & Tepa–Good riddance to players that are either confused / ambivalent or disingenuous / outright liars. I reiterate that I truly am glad that UH didn’t have to deal with these flakes once they were on campus. I want to believe the other recruits (like players already on the team) are sincere about becoming Warriors. This is going to be a pay-off & pay-back season; the coaches shouldn’t have to deal with ambivalence or disloyalty.

thanks roysan,

never did like the guy……who said, ‘white is right?’ haha

protector,

how do you really feel? j/k, can feel the burning passion inside of you, thought that was incense from my loading dock…..

you are right, and i concur……. 😉

Are MMA fighters listed as actual “employees” of the UFC with benefits or are considered “independent contractors”…

@roysan16

BJ fights in the Lightweight class. GSP fights in the Welterweight class.

Lightweight: 145 to 155 lb (67 to 70 kg)
Welterweight: 156 to 170 lb (71 to 77 kg)

BJ didn’t have to gain 20+ pounds to fight GSP. Plus he wanted to fight GSP.

It’s true that Dana White gets paid very well. You should also look at the brother owners of the UFC, they are billionaires.

Interesting post from Jim Donovan at sports hawaii to “Hawkpeter” regarding expansion of UH audience to foreign visitors. He also touched on this at a the Pearl City Neighborhood Board meeting months ago:

However, we are in the process of trying to build a bridge to Japan in regards to our football program. Currently, Coach Mack and I are planning to travel to Japan in the next month or two to see if we can establish contacts and relationships that might provide the Warrior football team with one or two walk-on players (possibly a place kicker, punter or even a receiver or defensive back). If we are successful building this bridge, the long-term possibility of building a fan base in Japan that would be supportive of UH football would be enhanced. If someday a Japanese walk-on player were to become a starter, and possibly a scholarship player, we might enjoy some of the promotional glow and fan support that is being shown in major league baseball for their Japanese players.

We now have concrete numbers for the increased recruiting budget. According to JD, UH’s recruiting budget was $50k under JJ. JD increased that to $110k, plus Hawaiian Airlines gave 100 free round-trip tickets for UH to use for recruiting. If we estimate a short-notice ticket to cost $500, then those 100 tickets comes to another $50k for the recruiting budget.

Great chat with Jim Donovan on SportsHawaii.com today. Lots of interesting information. Click on my name for the link.

List of everyone invited to the NFL combine. I did a quick scan and it appears that Jake Ingram, Ryan Mouton, and David Veikune got invitations.

Article about how summer camps are a key for recruiting.

“Camp is critical, especially when they are young. What has happened now in the recruiting process is it’s really been sped up. Kids are committing earlier and earlier and earlier now,” new Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said. “You’ve really got to try and get them in their ninth, 10th grade, 11th grade years, because if you try and wait until they’re going into their senior year some of those kids are going to be gone already.”

The setup is particularly good for coaches, because the NCAA in 2006 barred them from attending specialty camps like the Elite 11 for quarterbacks and the Ultimate 100 Camp that bring together top recruits interested in perfecting their skills.

At a school’s own camp, coaches can see how adept prospects are at receiving instruction and if their coaching style meshes with a player’s approach. Prospects, meanwhile, can get an advanced look at what playing for a particular school would be like.

Ault has seen the benefits first hand. A few years ago, while in the beginning stages of implementing his “pistol” offense at Nevada, Ault was seeking an athletic quarterback with the ability to run, but who could also throw to keep defenses honest.

What he discovered through camp was Colin Kaepernick, a lanky kid from Pittman High School in Turlock, Calif., quarterbacking a modified wing-T offense. Ault saw the potential and eventually lured Kaepernick to Reno, where he was the Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the year last season as a sophomore.

“The firsthand experience of getting to know them and talking to them …” Ault said. “You see them, you see their personalities. You see a lot of good things and some bad things.”

The same is true for Boise State coach Chris Petersen and his newly prized quarterback, Kellen Moore. While rewriting record books at Prosser (Wash.) High School, Moore would spend a week each summer at Boise State’s camp with his teammates. It was there that the Broncos staff got their first look at the undersized, yet highly talented left-handed quarterback.

Not surprisingly, Boise State was the only Football Bowl Subdivision team to heavily recruit Moore. The result was Moore starting as a redshirt freshman at Boise State last year, and the Broncos going 12-0 in the regular season.

As a bonus, the move also helped the Broncos land Moore’s brother, Kirby, a receiver who was highly coveted by every major college on the West Coast.

ST, good neighbor:

I am very disappointed in UH SID office for the LACK of publicity for the “grand opening” of Cooke Field today.

It may not be a big deal for “whatever is his name”, but to the fans, it’s surely an event worth attending and discussing inasmuch as it has been a sore spot for a LOOOOOONG time!

Was the weekend clean up in anticipation of media visiting lower campus today?

It makes one think that the UHAD’s office is unconcerned with the fans who support athletics. Keep this up and “aloja”.

wow….is today’s desolation a result of the culmination of the football season signified by the passing of the superbowl?

is this what women experience?
you know the postpartum blues?
now i understand.

Makes no sense to me, the last two minutes, when often everything is on the line, calls can’t be reviewed? Weird, to say the least.

*raises his hand and says “present”*

Eh Al,

I’ve been up and ready for my surprise but when I look at the blog today I see Wade Keli’ikipi will decommit for the Quackes. I hope this not the surprise for the day.

Hope Liloa looks down deep when choosing which school to pick. We all now where he really wants to go but if it was up to somebody else he’s going to the CU.

Good afternoon everyone!!

I see ST has posted a pix from the dedication ceremony, but no story. So, how was it? Who was there?
Thanks to the Tsai-kos who kept the project going forward – bhf2, tom mui, WDoc, and whomever else I forgot. Muchas gracias!!

dpk – take care of that cold!! Drink plenny non-alcoholic liquids and get some rest. Everyone’s counting on you to serenade them Sat night.

@Florida Ted

Calls can be reviewed in the last two minutes of each half.

Aloja, Mr. A-House,

The lower campus cleanup was probably for the opening of the field today. I walked over to UH today to see the field & hung out w/ sj-macro, myki, W-Doc & ST. You coulda come…I think I understand why it wasn’t a public announcement. Tell you at the KK.

SteveM,

Found out my bro used to play in a band with Art from Genji’s. The things you nevah know…

Al,

No it doesn’t look like a very good situation for him but this recruiting season has been so crazy I don’t know what each of these boys are thinking now a days. Just gotta wait and see I guess

@Florida Ted

This is why the play was not reviewed on the field:

“The replay assistant in the replay booth saw it was clearly a fumble,” Pereira told NBC. “The ball got knocked loose and was rolling in his hand before it started forward. He has to have total control.”

@A-House

Because the play was ruled a fumble on the field and the replay assistant confirmed it. Therefore, no on field review.

Yeah, I agree about Warner’s last fumble with 7 or 5 seconds left in the game. I was cheering for AZ also.

Unlike the first one that was reversed Warner didn’t have control of the ball while his arm was going forward.

But speaking of close… how close was Laboy to getting that safety… Whew!!! Game of inches indeed….

Lemme get some volleyball venting out in the open…

One thing that has irritated me for YEARS is these things I call “garbage points”. Example: ball goes off a block and then outside the line and the team that gets blocked ends up with the point.

Anyone have “ethical” issues with this? In the second match against CS Northridge on Saturday night, the Matadors came from behind after a few of these time after time and I hear Jim Leahey say “and Northridge fights their way back to a tie”… NO THEY DIDN’T!!!!!!!!!!

If anything maybe in those instances we take away points from the team that blocks the ball out of bounds instead of awarding the other team the point. Of course that would add a lot of time to the actual game, but still… I can’t stand it anymore. BUT we can go ahead and leave the service errors alone in the way points are awarded. We can also leave the point system when a ball is misplayed also (i.e. a failed dig that goes outside the line).

Now I know that there are techniques in which the hitters aim the ball towards a block to have it bounce in their favor to get the point if they can’t hit over it or around it, but the simple logic of getting a point when your didn’t really earn it irritates me.

With the men’s season in full swing perhaps this is bothering more than it has in the past as there is so much power involved with the game that sometimes those “garbage” points can determine a win when it is not “deserved”.

SteveM,

Found out my bro used to play in a band with Art from Genji’s. The things you nevah know…

Hmmmm–seems there’s a lot I don’t know about by cousin-in-law. All I knew was that he was the catering manager for Zippy’s for many years until he retired. The fact that Genji’s is almost next door to the main Zippy’s where he worked is probably not a coincidence. I’ve heard him sing Japanese enka many times on the bar side and was surprised… maybe las vegas can tell if he has an accent 🙂

Liz,

Did you pick up on a haka or two during your trip?

Kazz: I still don’t like the fact that they put in rally scoring. I liked the traditional side-out game.

anyone going to CTC tonight?

rep. k. mark takai……
represent in kuwait!
see you later….Godspeed brother!

the longer nobriga takes the more i am inclined to believe that he will be coming home.

it will be a decision of the heart.

my prayers go out to you son, it is a tough call.

so i am talking with a first time restaurant owner today. he comments that this is the slowest day since he opened six months ago. i tell him traditionally the day after the biggest pigout day in the year is always slow. i go on to explain about the record numbers of food consumed on superbowl sunday, hence the day after most folks don’t want to even look at food.

although i bet a tsaiko cattle call would flush the regulars out.

anyone going to murphy’s on wednesday night?

You must be bored right now. I can send you my homework, you can double-check it for me like good parents do. 😉

Nalani,

C’mon, you get da inside info as one “team mom” yeah? 😉

Be honest now, u da one giving ST da scoops!!!

more volleyball venting…
I agree with Kazz… there was so much stuff said to the referees from spectators its ridiculous. even the boosters were upset about their performance. If they can be referees.. me and my tutu lady can be referees

the only reason why there is no instant replay in volleyball I believe because of those old fat overweight volleyball referees…. They have so much ego and do not wish to be proven wrong… its like it is like if you look at most of the referees they are OLD.. we get the same guys working for so many years, we didnt see new people till the 90’s …. like Barack Obama says “It’s Time For A Change”

I have been to my brother volleyball tournaments on o’ahu, hilo, and the mainland.. the average age of a volleyball referee I say is about 50-60 yrs old. In a D1 college match or just mens/boys volleyball in general.. do you really thing a person that age that does not even look like they play the sport yet alone work out due to their weight and health and appearance can keep up with the speed of the game??

Mr Wilton.. if you are reading this, I highly suggest you hire volunteer referees like in the exhibition games maybe, or choose younger people. We keep seeing the same people, the haole guy, the two guys that look like brothers, and the guy with the long hair who looks like a pedophile. Their calls has been somewhat inaccurate the past 5 years. What ever happened to that blond referee, the other young hapa-haole guy and the bald headed one? they were probably the best ones ever. and they two younger guys look like they know and play the game. There should be something done… why cant it be like the wahine games where we get a different referee from the WAC?

I am sick and tired of screwups from referees in a sport where theres 4 refs in one small court

Hey, Al –some of us had to work today. 🙁

…..so it would have to be a dinner cattle call…

it is good to see most of the wac schools are doing very well in recruiting with the exception of fresno and san jose. they may have lost some scholies due to the academic rules. hopefully this will help make the wac a more respected conference and this year we kick the mwc in the arse.

Thank you for your dedication to UH Sports.
Rest in peace…..Aloha

My condolences to Dr. Thompson’s family. I pass by her statue every basketball game, and I always take the time to glance at it, to remember Dr. Thompson’s contributions.

A-House: Thank you for your contribution for RFL, I think they received it today because they credited my account. Actually, they credited the team account — did you ask them to do that?

USC gets top recruits every year, but many leave early.

The stockpiling of talent will apparently continue at USC. As the final pushes are made toward Wednesday, the national letter-of-intent signing day for football, the Trojans are anticipating another stellar recruiting class.

But a lot can happen in these final hours, and supposed “commitments” can suddenly become meaningless. Especially at a time when Coach Pete Carroll and his reconfigured staff face a new issue: An exodus of several high-profile transfers.

Hazelton has said he valued his time at USC, but he cautioned recruits to examine their criteria for choosing any high-profile school.

“The advice I would give kids is look at the position and look at the depth chart and the history of how they use guys,” he said. “Don’t just go to a school with a name. Look at where you’re needed.

“A lot of kids get caught up in the TV stuff. ‘That’s where Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart played.’ But you have to know it’s a good situation that you’re going into.

“A lot of it is . . . a business decision.”

Colt was mentioned in this article about Matt Barkeley.

Rollinson knows a thing or two about high-caliber high school quarterbacks and their ability to adjust – and how quickly – to the rigors of life on the college level.

Among those he has coached at Mater Dei is Matt Leinart, who won a Heisman Trophy at USC in 2005, and Colt Brennan, who threw for a gazillion yards in two seasons for the University of Hawaii.

My condolences to the Thompson family.

Article about how players can sign scholarship agreements instead of NLI.

Instead of binding themselves to the school with an NLI, the athlete could just sign scholarship papers with the institution and gain many of the same protections the NLI affords them. By signing scholarship papers instead of the NLI, the athlete would not be bound to the school, or the provisions of the NLI.

“If things go wrong, that fine print comes into play in a major way,” Isenberg said.

By definition, the letter of intent binds the school to the athlete and the athlete to the school. The schools however, have much more wiggle room out of the arrangement.

“Student-athletes are in a proverbial Catch-22: They must sign a letter of intent if they want to be assured a scholarship, yet if a school then finds a better player at their position, the admissions department can refuse to admit the student.

“Of course, by the time this decision is made, it is usually too late for the student to find another school that still has a scholarship to give.”

Technically, a recruit could sign scholarship papers with 40 different schools, but only honor one of them with no penalty. All 40 of the schools though, must honor their offers.

UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said that assigns too much risk to the schools, which have a fixed number of scholarships to award each year.

“It becomes a very hard thing for the school to now manage their numbers and so forth,” Neuheisel said. “Letters of intent are important just so everybody could keep track of where they are.”

Kalani commit makes me want to attend a few bb games.

2 days to go.

ralph…..back in the day the term slot back was non-existent. today;s offenses employ the slotback in many of their sets, of course it is not a system. biletnikoff was the ultimate possession receiver.

pat twilley and steve largent came along and further developed the place/need for a possession receiver.

these guys, if they were playing today would be a “wes welker” type slot receiver. davone is a hybrid receiver in the same mold and may be a bit more shifty than all of the above.

should i wait around?

will things be heating up soon?

Condolences to the Thompson family, Donnis Thompson was a leader in the promotion of womens athletics.

so awhile back i was touting st. john lessary, III as an all purpose football player including as a punter/kicker. he is also a good rb/wr type.

coming in as a preferred walkon is a great start for this young man. he could also double as our holder and would be a great option for a two pt attempt.

A chilly morning everyone!

Good Morning Tsaikos!!

One more day until LOI are due!!! Looking forward to who will be man up and put their committment in writing.

The mystery shopping job even reimburses for tips. I hope that the people getting the free breakfast today at Denny’s remember to tip their servers…just because the food is free doesn’t mean you can skip the tip!

good morning tsaikos.

ok, one more day till we find out who are 2009 recruits will be. coach mc and his staff deserve a lot of credit for doing a very good job in their first organized year of recruiting. after tomorrow,we look forward to spring practice and hope that all those who will be invited are in good shape.

wow, 36 recruits + walkons. this is impressive and looks like this class will rank up their with the top UH recruiting class. we lost 35 seniors, but looks like we are not replacing them, but reloading. way to go coach mc.

whitey – I think you are right, everyone else is getting their beauty rest. That’s okay becaue everyone else needs it, us two are all good already!!

Good morning Tsai-kos!!

Morning Stretch & whitey. How goes it? Stretch, I don’t think any amount of beauty sleep will help you! 😀 🙄

Reminder: Men’s bb game Thurs vs FSU is a white-out and the band is selling t-shirts and also alumni 2-for-1 night. Band fundraiser is to send the band to the WAC tournament. They’ll also be selling at Sat’s game.

Hey, I up and at work already. No need beauty sleep, too old!

Oh baby. One more day. You know your birthday is coming, but what goodies you gonna score? Shhhh. Papa gonna pull up with da Lexus. Aloha.

yup, looks like burton going to sjsu. this is getting a little ridiculous. kid probably took his only offer (hawaii) and jumped at the chance to play closer to home when sjsu offered late. feels like open season on hawaii recruits.

considering there are FIVE starters on the oline and only four commitments (minus burton) this season, i hope the coaches move fast in securing another HS OL. dead period right now… auwe.

If these two are really decommits come tommorow I say this is a bunch of BS. Especially in the case of Keli’ikipi if he does decide to go to the Quack attack. JMO

all is fair in love and recruiting.

no sense get all nuha over this stuff. these kids are the ones who have to live with it for a long time not us. come next week we will forget about all the decoms.

coaches will learn from all this. it is time though to implement an early signing period that is binding.

perhaps some modifications are in order as well. for example, any recruit decommitting within 5 days of nli day will cost the new college one recruit scholarship the following year.

dick tomey has never been bashful. this is not the first recruit that he “stole” from our treasure chest. he has been poaching our recruits and prospects more so since going to sjsu. i hope it is for lack of a scouting plan rather than spite since he was bypassed for jj’s job some ten years ago.

and furthermore, it is apparent that we do compete a lot with the norcal kids. sjsu does have a lot to offer and so do we. hopefully, we can continue to get the jc kids that we need every year from the bay area. the ones that want to go away.

i think establishing a reputation as a school that will entertain a good handful of jc’ers actually does us good. our competition for the same is less than going after the blue chip hs kids.

i understand the excuses being made but the coaches were expecting these guys to come and now where so late in the game left with what?

Owen-16,

Gotta beleive that Keli’ikipi might have to think twice about his decision to decommit. There is currently a log jam at D-Tackle for the Quacksters so it might not be a very good situation for him there. Where as if he were to commit here he would probably be a starter with in the next two years. But I gotta beleive that at least for Wade it might not be a good decision football wise.
