This would be a potentially huge get for the WARRIORS. Funny to have a Kafentzis at QB and not on defense.

No kidding. First there was Mark, Kent, Kurt, Kyle and Sean. Then second generation Landon, Tyson and Mikhail. All the Kafentzis except Mikhail were defensive players. It would be great to see a 9th Kafentzis in a UH uniform.

A week or so ago I posted about Jordan's Freshman QB Austin Kafentzis, who is off to a great start this season. I was wondering about his potential interest in BYU and thinking there could be some bad blood in the family since his dad and four uncles went to Hawaii during the 80s. Anyway, his dad found the post a week later and responded with the following:

"RE: Anyone remember the Kafentzis family at Hawaii?

actually I can say that there is NO bad blood at all. In fact I called Lavelle about one of my nephews named Kurt Elliot to play for him in 1999 and then he ended up coming to BYU for 2 years before transfering to SUU to play baseball and football. I was leaning towards BYU in 1982 but chose Hawaii. The fact that we are Catholic played a big part back then. Brandon Doman worked my son (Austin) out this summer and did a great job with him in his camp, it was also nice to talk with Lance Reynolds after so many years. At this point all options are open and our focus is to help Austin be the best person that he can be. Having said that I root for every team in the old WAC unless they play Hawaii with one exception...My nephew played for BYU in that shootout in Hawaii in the early 2000 when Hawaii won. I was rooting for BYU. "Blood is thicker then water", as they say. Good luck to BYU for the rest of the year.

Kyle Kafentzis"

Austin originally committed to Gary Anderson at Wisconsin and was an early enrollee in 2015.
When Gary left to Oregon State, Austin transferred to Nevada.
He is well suited for Rolo's offense.
If he came here, he would sit out 2016 and have 3 to play 3.
How you figgah?

Just another 4 star QB.
What are we going to do with all of them?
Beau Riley, Aaron Zwalen, and now Austin Kafentzis ?!?
We need some 4 star action in the other positions.
Particularly on the O-line and D-line first.

In 2016 Beau will be a junior, Zwalen Soph & Milton (if he signs) a RS Frosh
We still need 2 more QBs in the stable.

I rather have a 4 star QB as a backup than a 1 or 2 star or a walkon.

Don't forget we offered Milton from Mililani too. Unless Kafentzis is willing to change positions, very athletic and has Kafentzis blood.

I think Milton would be the one to change positions.
