#17 – I believe Mr. Tsai wrote that Moananu was redshirting this year, so given that it wouldn’t make sense to burn a year to play in the bowl game.

20…why? What with the NCAA houndogs on his trail.
Naeole has done a great job.

#20 “RB” … unfortunately we have no openings and I doubt he’d work for what UH can afford.

Since UCLA fired Klemm wonder if he would come back to UH.

I presume Coach Rolovich needs is the defensive side of the ball. Most of the new commits are defensive back and safety but hardly any defensive line. Their losing three quarterbacks, two of them moved to another school.
Unfortunately the bulk of local kids will select mainland schools and shun their local State University.

The inaugural Polynesian Bowl is this week and while there are a number of heralded players going to big name programs, many remain unsigned. The remote possibility that even one kid who got a free trip here and signs with UH would make the new all-star game a success in my opinion.

My 2-cents re recruiting. At this stage in the recruiting process, I believe the priorities are OTs, RBs and OLBs. There are only 12 returning O-linemen, of which, 5 will be seniors in the fall. It’s 12 instead of 13 because I also anticipate Eperone Moananu will move from offense to defense. When OG Elijah Tupa’i was unable to play (injury) in the Hawaii Bowl, JR Hensley took his place. When it appeared Hensley might not be ready because of a leg issue, the plan was to have Matt Norman play the RGuard position. So it doesn’t look like Eperone will be part of the O-line rotation in the fall. Most schools try to have at least 16 O-linemen on the roster. So in my view, the Warriors need 3 more O-linemen in addition to Emil Graves and Eneasi Kavapalu.

I like the we have Fred Ulu Perry and a regarded O lineman eligible to play this season. But you can never have enough I guess.

Great news … BUT … I’m still waiting on 2 or 3 DTs (beefy, mean and nasty on the field only7) to sign …

Personal opinion here … if a local kid wants to go away to the mainland for school/football that’s his prerogative …BUT… the MWC is not the conference to be in. My reasoning for this is if you decide to return home in addition to the 1 year NCAA transfer rule, the MWC I believe has a rule that if you transfer from one MWC school to another, you have to sit out a 2nd year. That’s 2 years of eligibility wasted or 1 years if you haven’t used your redshirt year. Something to think about before signing …
