Phoenix prep QB commits to UH
June 22nd, 2009 by Stephen TsaiQuarterback Kevin Spain of Paradise Valley High in Arizona told The Warrior Beat he has accepted a football scholarship from the Warriors.
"I'm really happy about it," said Spain, who is 6 feet 2 and 190 pounds. "I've always been a fan of Colt Brennan. I can't wait to play in his offense."
Spain also plays baseball and lacrosse.
Span attended Arizona State's football camp. ASU already received a commitment from a quarterback. But ASU head coach recommended Spain to Greg McMackin. McMackin was Erickson's defensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks in the mid-1990s.
"I committed (to UH) today," Spain said. "I'm super-excited about everything."
Spain will be the sixth member of UH's 2010 recruiting class.

Dominick Sierra of La Habra High in Whittier, Calif., has accepted a scholarship offer from the Warriors. Sierra plays tight end, cornerback and safety, but is projected to compete at linebacker at UH. He is 6 feet 1 and 207 pounds. He runs 40 yards in 4.7 seconds.
Here's a link to La Habra football:

J-E-T-T. Jett! Jett! Jett!
The uniquely named Jett Jasper, a sophomore wideout from Kaua‘i, took a couple of minutes to chat with the Warrior Beat.
Jett?
"The story has it when I was in my mom's tummy, I was kicking around, like I was due to take off like a jet on an aircraft carrier. That's why they named me Jett. I love how the name is Jett, and not many people have it. I feel special."
T as in Tsai-ko:
"The two Ts are cool, too. I tell everyone the first T is silent. It's kind of a joke."
His family owns a popular restaurant on Kaua‘i called JJ's Broiler.
"Everybody thinks it's named after me. My grandfather, Jim Jasper, started it. It's named after him. And it's not named after June Jones."
The family business:
"I worked in my restaurant since I could walk, doing dishes, putting away silverware. I helped prep cook. I can make almost everything on the menu. It's been a great learning experience. I love barbecuing steak. On the grill, I can barbecue anything. I love it. The best thing to do is get the rib-eye and put a lot of salt on it. That's all you need. Nothing fancy. No fancy sauce. Just rib-eye and salt."
Livin' Lihue:
"I was born and raised on Kaua‘i. Not too many haole guys born and raised on Kaua‘i. It was a great experience. It made me stronger being a minority. I have tons of friends back home. i love them all. I felt accepted."
If he had a vote on Super Ferry ...
"I approve Super Ferry. It had more benefits than negatives. I did tons of projects on it. I had the perspective of being on the island. It would have helped out so many people. Too bad it's gone."
From futbol to football:
"I started playing soccer. I wanted to play football. My friends were playing football. I could hear them on the loudspeaker because the football stadium is right next to the soccer field. One day, I said, 'I want to play football.' My dad said OK. I was a tall, skinny kid, but that's what I wanted to do."
Why UH?
"It's the best place in the world. It's as simple as that."
* * * * *
Rich2176, doing his fan dance, was quite popular the other night. (He brought $5,000 worth of UH-UNLV football tickets.)
* * * * *
Yes, very popular ...

It seems weird yet not weird to have all this early recruiting. It's so different from what UH had done for so long, but it seems so natural when you consider Mack is at the helm. Does that make sense?
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:11 am
More speed at LB
Coach Mack & Co. aren't wasting time in building for the future.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:12 am
Here's something I've always wondered: Why do people list AOL.com for their Web site? I've seen other people do that, and ai-eee-soos reminded me of that just now.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:13 am
Well, I'm off to bed. Good night, Stephen and ai-eee-soos.

One more LB, this one from Radford, but transferring to Kapolei.

Welcome to the Warriors Dominick Sierra! I stayed in Whittier last week and know the La Habra area well. That seems like a good area for a UH pipeline...Hawaiian restaurants all over the place and lots of people with Hawaii ties.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:37 am
Jason,
Re: your post at #3
I think this is a great example of UH reacting to the change in the recruiting landscape. Mac and Tony Tuioti deserve praise, as do all the UH coaches involved.
To show how recruiting has changed, Texas was basically done with its 2010 class a month ago and has already had a camp for 2011 recruits. JJ already has 13 commits, Houston has 12, etc.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:43 am
Liz,
Thank you for the photo! I remember seeing someone setting up a photo and how I snuck into the background of the picture. DPK and I had been talking and I had no idea who was getting their photo taken. Pretty cool that was Big C...she must have been gone shortly after that photo because I didn't see her after DPK and I finished talking.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:46 am
Wow ,what a game ....
I like this game and really its a awesome game.........

joshua quezada is a much sought after running back.

Hmm...seems like a powerhouse program is in the grooming stages in the Pacific... Great to see these early committs of some great athletes who will be tasting a lot of Bowl Games in the future, especially those Bull Crap System ones! Welcome to the Warrior Nation Frank, Corey, Samson, Bubba, and Dom...
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:51 am

Kekoa: I saw you guys, but never made my elemu around that end to say howzit! So sorry......But I was talking story with Diana afta......Told her that perfume of hers reminds me of my oldest sistah.....I was small kine' flashin' back....Hehehehe....
Mahalo, SteveM for setting up everything! Wish we got there earlier, and we were planning too...except, when you gotta distribute 7 keiki to different destinations...you tend to get a little behind schedule sometimes...
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:46 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Congratulations to Dominick! Glad that Coach Mack is doing more early recruiting. I'm sure Dominick is a good student since that is important to the Coach, too.

Wanted: Summah school classes ~
A special session featuring lessons on "How NOT To Scratch on Da Eight Ball" is badly needed. Wessai straight shooting exhibition stars are standing by to offer tips. They include Homey, (J)James & Diana, resident experts on the subject.
The Mid-Summer Pool & Darts competition is beginning to gain interest in the Tsaiko community. Bragging rights for the coveted 'Green Cup' is going to be up for grabs during late July. Stay tuned!

Yep, but you gotta admit from their high view of themselves as gurus, it's interesting that they also cover their okoles too. Not quite committed to their pre season evals- but good to get these teams motivated like us at 5-6 in WAC to show'em what they don't know yet!
I'll be impressed when anyone of them admits they were wrong when games played and they win.
Let the games/fun begin- can't wait!
June 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 am
ST ~ Saw Rod at a family picnic at Kaka'ako Park a few weeks ago. When the guys got ready to play a little friendly game of fb, coach Mac could have selected his All Big Boy camp leaders from that group!
Your niece asked if you are still alive. She says she hasn't seen you since you became such a huge media mogul.

Step stools sounds like a great idear....hahahaha...

ST:
re "plaid" - we affectionally refer to him as "da walker" - even at 10:30pm, we see him walking out to the bus stop - always carrying a plastic bag.
we have often wondered where he was going at that "late hour"
we have also seen him on Bishop Street - usually mid-morning to lunch time.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:23 am
ST: Funny story about Plaid.
So, is there an A.P.B. out for an Asian male, salt n pepa hair, glasses, about 5'8" that answers to the name Tsai-ko Master?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:27 am
The suspect had mostly pepa hair until he found out he was going to be a grandpa.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:27 am
Nice interview with Jett up there... Hope he has a good season to talk story about when he visits home.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:29 am
Kekoa:
The niece is always using the laptop computer, but she never visits the blog.
But then last night, she says she saw her uncle being "Tricky."
Hmmm. Who would send a link?
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:35 am

Watch out, after ONE, they tend to multiply fast....Oh wait....thats just me.....

June 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 am
ST ~ More importantly. What is Jett's status at this time? I've found him to be an eager participant on the team, but just never had much opportunity to strut his stuff.
Is it true that he did not make the cut, or is that still a matter of contention.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:29 am
Hey Tsaikos!
Jett is my kind of chef...Ribeye and Hawaiian salt on the grill...nuff said! It let's the taste of the meat burst through.

BG,
Yes sir! That game was awesome!!!
I'll never forget that whole night and seeing Sjmacro jumping out of not only his seat, but his row and going insane.
I think I remember literally crawling on my hands and knees up the stairs when it was all over.
That was the same day of the BASHING we took at Corvallis. I wasn't originally planning on going to the game, until me and my friends felt the need to wash that horrible loss against the Beavs out of our mouths and I think the 5,000+ on hand that night felt the same way. The student section was rockin' and even the people busy knitting put down their needles after the 3rd set.
Amber Kaufman was on FIRE that night and kept the momentum going for the Wahine!!!
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Hey, the World Cup is following me on Twitter. I wonder if it's because of the Jett Jasper futbol reference.

st....please ask jett if i could get the recipe for their slavonic steak.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Actually, they've had monster ratings this season.
And Jon has Hawai‘i ties.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:03 pm
yah, i was only playing around. the boss watches every episode at least 10 times. jon is part korean isn't he? with family ties locally. i believe many locals came out for their second marriage ceremony. hey wasn't that like last year?
i heard all the accomodations were comped on top of all that.
anyway, i told the boss that kate was too controlling. i told the boss no man wants to be controlled.....thump! i get a whack on the side of the head.
ouch.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:05 pm
what a difference two years make.....
two years ago we didn't even have one scholie offered.
now we have two dozen offers on the table
and
five commits already.
later this week we probably have another two or three.
boy, if you want to play the university of hawaii, these days, you better let them know as soon as possible. otherwise, the wait list will be long.

Howzit Everybody,
I would like to say that I had a lot of fun hanging out with the Tsaiko's this past Saturday. I was nice to see long lost brothers of mine Koakane, J(J), Homey, and Kekoa. It was also nice to meet Garret and Rich. Mahalo to SteveM for putting together this get together.
Also I would like to say mahalo much to Rich again for picking up these tickets for all us Tsaiko's. It will be one hell of a night when the Tsaiko's run crazy on the Rebel's home turf.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:13 pm
oh and one more thing,
It was also nice to meet Mr. and Mrs. Coloma.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Howzit, kama krab! Next time I sit down talk story wit' you! I was little bit busy.....(a.k.a. little bit playing around too much!) hahahaha...

Ah no problem Mrs. C, I see you next time.

Kekoa: #83 CAN!
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:27 pm
i know poueu-luna is a legit 4.4 - 4.5 guy.
in the same combine a few months ago, he ran one of the few 4.5 40's.
while sierra ran a 4.9 in that same combine while he reports a 4.7 best
and that other rb recruit ran a combine 4.7 and yet his best is 4.5.
so that is saying something about poueu-luna's speed.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:34 pm
BG
What a good idea! The last mail needs to be sent by July 1st. I guess the good news is that they are getting prepared to come home soon and don't want to have mail to also deal with.
Let me know when you will have it finish and I can stick it in my last box that I am planning on mailing out.
Kekoa has my email and phone number...leave me a message.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
ST: Thanks for the link in #84....sad, but not surprising. I don't know how someone can be so bossy and demanding and controlling and snappy......
Wait........I better shut up.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Nice to meet you too.

The beginning of the end, fittingly, describes Kate's new 'do. Or as one magazine described it: a reverse mullet.
June 22nd, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Yeah, it's not nice to talk about me like that...oh you were talking about someone else...Stretch (:roll:)!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Hey ST...thanks for the link. I just saw "The Hangover" this weekend and didn't know that one of the actors was going out with Jennifer Aniston.
BTW...it was weird seeing Mike Tyson in this flick...pretty random to have him in it.
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Good afternoon Tsaikos...

I think the lesson to learn is that one should not get drunk in Vegas and steal Mike Tyson's tiger.
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Kazz: The movie wasn't as stupid as I thought it would be...surprisingly funny.
I think that there is another lesson...don't get drunk and get your face tatooed. I mean that thing is just silly looking.

reverse mullet

i think kate's more upset about a possible career ending divorce.
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
i wonder how a reverse mullet would taste steamed with black bean sauce?
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
C rM:
Um, there would be more bleeping than allowed and what do the cameras do when you come to party with the other Tsaikos and Pinkies?!?!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:28 pm
Rob,
I like they way they wrote out the movie in that the audience is just as confused as the characters as to how everything came to be so messed up.
It keeps the audience guessing how something came to be and so forth.
I would have had fun, as writer of the film, to come up with all those insane instances, like the missing tooth, a tiger and a baby in the room, a stolen cop car, a Vegas quickie marriage, etc...
But as for the Chinese guy in the film, his character was odd, but seriously could have done WITHOUT the full frontal scene!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:30 pm

Hey, that's what reality is. Bleeps and all. They no like it, no watch. Ha ha ha

Okay, I know that this blog has five F's but full frontal is not one of them...let's drop the memories from our banks.

Kevin Spain commits to UH!!!!
guess that means manley is SOL.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:43 pm

i wonder where we can find some reverse mullets?
i'll check chinatown this weekend.
hey, tailgates are but two n a half months away.
you gotta be there to witness the tonage of food and gallons of beverages.
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:45 pm
so, if kevin "the rain in" spain commited where does that leave manley and higgins?
didn't make say this morning that they were only going to sign one qb this year?
June 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 pm
"didn't mack say....."

Thanks BG!!
I think that will be plenty...they can share them and pass them around.
I'm pretty sure that many of them are jonesing for some football too. I know that Frank is.
Thanks for the wonderful gesture!
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Looks like Manley will be left high and dry.
If they do decide to pick up Manley or Higgins then we are definitely going to see one of them transferring and that would not be the best situation for us and them.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:11 pm
so kevin "i've never been to..." spain goes from paradise valley high to the university of paradise.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Al,
You got any insight on other recruits that might be signing soon. I know you had some info on Spain signing. So was just wondering.
Maybe you got some info on some of the bigger fish in the see like V.J., Micah, Kona, or the Kapolei Kids.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
i think manley has had the offer in his hand for well over a year now.
higgins' options are growing by the day.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
I don't think they're giving up on Manley or Higgins.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Plus, Spain can play safety.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
You got it, Robyn...only too easy!
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Stephen,
What are the chances that either Manley or Higgins sign with U.H.
And what are our chances of landing a V.J. Fehoko or Micah Hatchie.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:22 pm
al
True comments on Manley and Higgins. Times are a-changing. If a young man truly wants to play for Hawaii, the opportunity is there when offerred...otherwise, the window of opportunity will not stay open forever. It cuts both ways and is fair.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Hey kama krab nice meeting you this weekend!
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Love seeing all these commits so early!
Keep up the good work coaches!!
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Same here Rob25
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
haven't seen the lil birdie in a while.
my opinion is that vj will go abroad.
the two keepers are kona schwenke and micah hatchie. the former is leaning towards byu, we could be close second because of the strong ties to his church.
hatchie is being wooed now be everyone else in the nation. this could go down to wire.
there are a ton of athletes in this state. i hope we can land half of the good ones.
here's a guy that i would really like to see on the dotted line. desmond tautofi, the last of a long line of tautofi's from palolo valley. he could be the best one yet. he is bigger than daniel and just as athletic. he's barely pushing 6' 3". if he gets to 6'3" or more (like his older brothers) i'd break tradition and make him an offensive tackle. he would be the first in his family but he has nfl potential as an olineman.
...nuff said.
(back to work)
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
only one local recruit committed, 5 from the upper 49....local fans can't keep on complaining that the UH coaches don't offer local talent, the locals got to commit early and not view UH as the last resort....
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Thanks Al,
You the best.
Hopefully we can land at least one of them to show that we have a fighting chance for the best in the state.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
my guess is that we land at least one of them and not both.
manley or higgins.
higgins' dad(jim) is a former center for the warriors and has been very instrumental in our recruiting of samoa. isaako sopoaga for one. don't forget jeremy's brother is still a junior at weber state and the nfl is drooling all over him. jeremy could follow in brother's footsteps.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:32 pm

I think we have three from here and three from the greater 49.

June 22nd, 2009 at 4:33 pm
I'd be surprised if a spot isn't open for Manley if he wants to be a Warrior. Personally I'll be surprised if Graves doesn't win the job next year.
I'm looking forward to some "big" news soon on some of the big boys.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
By the way, there was a lot of talent at the camp today. I sensed some good energy.
June 22nd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Would be nice to have Manley but as of right now it seems that he is fronting and wanting U.H. to kiss his you no what and he should know that it's not going to happen.
Higgins might be the diamond in the ruff. If he can produce like his brother, he will be a great pick up for whoever signs him.

al, i think your vid was also of him.
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:27 pm
ST,
Jett's younger sister plays softball for the same HS Jessica Iwata was on yeah? I don't know if she's a senior or a junior, but think she's "eyeing" UH for college?
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Garrett, if you come, go to Little Village and try the Volcano pork chops and the crispy string beans. OMG. Nothing better. Well, maybe the honey walnut shrimp (and I dont like walnuts and its so ono!)
Just so you guys know, Manley is a really good kid. He has no attitude and like many kids will weigh his options. He may choose UH or now that we got another QB commit and it seems like they are really only planning on taking one, maybe two, this option might be gone. There are a lot of local boys that weigh their options then choose UH. Same with Hatchie too. Really good kids. Hopefully they'll make the "right" decision!
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:47 pm
What I like about the Kevin Spain kid is that he been doing everything from under center. With more time in the shotgun, he should be able to make his reads and with his quick release, accuracy and scrambling ability, he's a real double threat.
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:48 pm
He'll also have one more year of eligibility than Colt did.. + a redshirt year.
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:51 pm
he's also doing a lot running for his life. not sure if its his OL or broken plays, but he sure is scrambling a lot.
June 22nd, 2009 at 5:54 pm

He's in a run-oriented offense.

74 days until football.
Switching up the routine....
)
(actually, dumped the routine awhile back
Big part of summers now is all the football camps. Many on the mainland; some in Hawaii. Lots of variation: no pads/no contact to full pads/full contact. Most take registration from individuals, some are "team camps"
Linfield does a couple of team camps during the summer. When we visited the campus a couple of summers ago with #2 son, we onknowingly happened to arrive as one was going on. Quite impressive. Maybe 10-12 teams in attendance; lots of activity going on all at once. Very exciting atmosphere. Nice way to while away the time as a spectator.
Here's a link to some scenes of this year's camp:

Your success will be much appreciated for all of us little guys....
June 22nd, 2009 at 7:50 pm
how many of our qb's are being recruited for other positions, like WR or db's...Rausch, Moniz and Austin will have another year of eligibility, add the three freshmen coming in the fall, that's 6, add Spain, now we have 7. Manley? then 8
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:28 pm

Hiya!
Kazz- #164 - Jett's sister will be a freshman at UH this year. She is a multi-sport talent and a great kid!
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 pm
why do we have so many qb's?
what position is the one position on offense that requires the absolute best guy available?
there is only one qb on the field. the coaches are tasked with finding the holy grail. colt brennan was one. they need to have one like him to make everything else click.
sure we need olinemen. we need 5 on the field.
we need receivers, 4 to be exact.
we need one running back. who touches the ball say 15 times per game.
we need one quarterback, the trigger man, the straw the stirs the drink.
the qb needs to be our best player or else nothing goes right. he reads, passes, runs, blocks, he is the one that determines where the ball goes and how it gets there.
the search for that one guy is tantamount to what we do. we need to find that guy every year.
we need to find the guy who can step in when our guy goes down by injury, academics, homesickness, or other personal matters. we need two guys who can do it just in case.
then, we need about six guys to run an effective practice.
all men were not created equal. some we bring in will surprise and some will disappoint. these are facts of life, facts of football. numbers, we need numbers, we need numbers who can step up when one goes down.
we aren't there yet. we are getting there.
June 22nd, 2009 at 8:54 pm
none of these qb's are recruited for secondary positions, trust me.
last year, we offer two guys very early. one commits right away and another commits late. but our coach has stated he will not renege an offer so true to his word he accepts both guys. then along comes a guy who jumps out of the video, a proven winner, and all that. so they offer him, why, cuz they know they have to find that holy grail for the future.

USC has 5 qbs, only two fully recruited, Corp and Barkley, Barkley was the number 1 HS recruit this year...that's why Carroll wanted Sanchez to remain at USC...give Corp more time to develop and bring Barkley in to challenge next year. Mustain was a disgruntled qb transfer from Arkansas with fellow teammate Williams but he loss the spring match up with Corp and is not happy at USC being second banana. The other two won't see the field, one is a senior and the other a 6'0 soph. who won't compete with Corp, Barkley and even Mustain... of the 5, who is on scholarship- two for sure, Barkely and Corp...

Just so you guys know, Manley is a really good kid. He has no attitude and like many kids will weigh his options. He may choose UH or now that we got another QB commit and it seems like they are really only planning on taking one, maybe two, this option might be gone. There are a lot of local boys that weigh their options then choose UH. Same with Hatchie too. Really good kids. Hopefully they'll make the "right" decision.
PIAA - Doris Sullivan, you are a godsend for the state of Hawaii, high school athletes, their families, coaches (HS, JC, all college levels). Keep up your great service to the state, your staff included. Most people don't realize the "sacrifice and commitment" required to accumulate all of the recruiting info and the seemingly endless communication process - contacts, profiles, cross checks w/coaches, other players, (phone, email, letters, twitter, videos, CD's, internet site). God Bless You!
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I think Hawaii should be fine in the QB department. I say this because the Qb position is a hit or miss position that you need numbers in.
I feel the same as others, Graves is the real deal and needed to be picked up by Mac. The other two will bring heavy competition to the position and will push for the starting position in 2011 or even as early as 2010.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:30 pm
why does usc have six 5 star qb's on their roster?
this was just a figure of speech to show emphasis of the qb position. but, they do go after one or two 5 star qb's each year.
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Mr. Watanabe ~ You were able to make accomodations for the Tsaiko's for the Hawaii Bowl, and we truly appreciated it.
Please work at procuring 'away' game tickets so we can plan our flights and lodging more efficiently in the future.
If there is a better way to order our tickets early for next year's West Point game, we need to have a free flow of information coming from your ticket office much sooner. -Mahalo
June 22nd, 2009 at 10:35 pm
kama krab...i agree 100%. no matter what you just gotta find that one. that qb w/the it factor.

July Jones # 68:
Was able to check out the "Big Boys" camp up at UH, good number in attendance, lots of help with ex-players helping out the staff, saw the "legend" Cal Lee supervising, he looked good in that role.
Pastor Joe Onosai was in attendance, he was there supporting his 4 or 5 linemen participating, expect Onosai's Word of Life "FIREBRANDS" squad to make some noise in the DII of the ILH in 09, looks like his linemen are not only big, but they look athletic and displayed excellent effort during first day drills.

Early commitments can be bad - now all the other schools know who the "enemy" is and will prepare their plan of attack on the enemy, the head coaches will call in the area recruiting coach and coordinator and ask 'did you know about this kid? why not? and if the coach did his due dilligence in his area he should have an answer. Most head coaches and assistants will find out as much as they can about the verbally committed player, ask his coach questions, other college coaches questions, watch more film. After more research the coach may go back to the HC and lobby to recruit the kid, if he shows interest back. Nowadays, most Big Time programs like USC, have received verbal commitments from many 4 to 5 star recruits by now, but even USC can lose verbal commitments at the last minute and have a scholarship available like last year when the LB from Kapolei - Simione Vehikite - accepted a scholarship after his performance in the Hawaii vs US all-star game.
All of the early verbal commitments received by the Warriors are just that " verbal commitments" it sure is apparent that coach Mac and his staff are pushing the pedal and identified the type of recruits for their system and are offering scholarships to the guys now! They've offered many more but the majority of recruits with "multiple" offers will most likely wait until they take their recruiting trips before they make up their minds, every situation is different, for the Hawaii kids, especially the smaller athletic and quick types, they usually fall through the cracks, most colleges don't come to Hawaii to recruit speed or quickness, especially if you're small, there are thousands of these guys in places like CA, TX, FL. etc. Colleges will usually visit Hawaii for linemen and linebackers! Thus a Chad Owens or a Ashley Lelie slips through the cracks. Hopefully coach Mac, Ron Lee, can get some Chad Owens type efforts from the slots ( if they stay committed), best of luck to these local boys.
** Warriors did lose two verbally commited high profile defensive linemen to the Pac - 10, Keliikipi and Makaula, so it's never over till it's over (when they sign on the dotted line, via fax)
Coach Mac and staff expect the heat and I'm sure they will do everything in their power to secure their commitments.

oldie- Congrats on your new phone! I just got mine synced up...it's a bother because I am on a PC with Office at work and a Mac with a bunch of separate applications at home so my phone sometimes makes a bunch of dupe records.
I find the cell signal at Aloha Stadium predictably frustrating sometimes. When there is something important happening, no signal. When it is 1/2 time - 3G everywhere. I think the wind blows the signal away too.- or maybe it's the ti leaves that deflect the juice. I dunno...
We'll find out in about 77 days!

if the above athletes are attending summer school, i would think they would pick the first session as the second session runs into fall practice
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Al
Word of Life - Big linemen only a Junior, last name is ASIATA , agile, light on his feet, knee bender - 6'3 260 (OL), other player from WOL, also only a junior, very athletic, quick (LB,DE) goes by JUDAH, 6'1 220.
Asiata's older brother played OL at UNLV, started last two years, now with Chicago Bears OG - 6'5 315.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:34 pm
gee with all these early verbal commits....what are we going to do in january and early february???
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:39 pm
the first summer session is nearly at midpoint. it started before most high schools were out. the aforementioned list are all hs guys who i haven't heard from so far.
i think they are coming in for the second summer session as would most of the jc players. which is why most are reporting on july 5.
mack wants all the qualifiers to go to at least one summer session each year.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:40 pm
tks copo.
so when you say juniors, do you mean they just completed their junior season or that they will be juniors next year?
i wonder if i know the same asiata family?
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:43 pm
al - Omoide in Hanapepe has Chinese and has scaled the bakery way back. Thrifty Mart has a good bakery in Kaumakani. Either of those?
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:55 pm
i am thinking that this place was in waimea.
June 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Al second session ends August 14, first game september 4. i guess it is easy to schedule course work around practice...hopefully though the player can focus on his school work while getting lots of work on the field and the video room.

The Dolphins sure are getting some of the biggest names in Miami entertainment to get involved with the team.

LizK,
I guess you're offline now, but thanks for the feedback on the iPhone. With my old phone last year, I only got some communication when the stadium was practically empty. Funny, seems like all the bodies stopped the AT&T signal from getting through.
There's a wifi signal coming from the pressbox, but it's locked down.

Just a quick note before heading back to work. I have a 3 am conference call - 9 am in DC - so I decided to skip going to bed until after the call, but I have to be at a meeting at 8 am in downtown Honolulu concerning next week's fund-raiser for the Falls of Clyde so I really won't be getting much sleep.
A couple of sorta sports-related items:
First, the Stadium Authority meets this Thursday. The agenda lists the following items under Unfinished Busines: IVB - UHAD Fees Committee - report on investigative committeefindings on the fee structure for UHAD events; IVC - Update from Comptroller Russ Saito on the Stadium Repair Work Project or any update involving Aloha Stadium.
Perhaps Kazz should attend the meeting so that he can update folks here on the blog.
Second, evening parking rates at UH-Manoa will be rising effective July 1. Take advantage of the discounted semester parking passes if you are planning to attend any of the court sports or next year's baseball or softball games. Fee information should be out shortly.

pretty excited about spain.
hoping some OTs and DTs start coming in. we're at about 8-9 recruits now since its known that lister and loeffler will greyshirt. not sure who else will greyshirt from last year's class.
i think another thing mack needs to do is adjust his 3-5 year board mid-season based on how the team is performing. if there is a position underperforming, we'll need to hit the mid-year JC transfers again. cant blow our entire load early unfortunately, unlike texas and the big time bcs schools.
June 23rd, 2009 at 5:43 am
Aloha Kakahiaka!
oldie- I got similar results at the stadium. We shall see what the new season brings - or doesn't bring

Garret ~ Thanks for your constant stream of interesting news items. Could you track down how it is that Notre Dame has just received over 2 Billion dollars in funds for their school? I heard it on a news station, but didn't catch all the details. That's a ton of money!
