Mililani LB Darius Muasau Signs LOI

Post by uhwarriors »

The University of Hawaii football team has secured a commitment from the defensive leader of one of state’s top teams.

Darius Muasau, who will be a Mililani High senior this fall, told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser he has accepted 2019 scholarship offer from the Rainbow Warriors.

“I always wanted to stay home,” said Muasau, a middle linebacker who was reared in Mililani. “It’s a good chance to stay home and represent Hawaii.”

Mililani coach Rod York said Muasau is 6 feet 1, 230 pounds, and has been electronically timed running 40 yards in sub-4.8 seconds.

“He will be our defensive leader,” York said of Muasau, the play-caller of the Trojans’ 4-3 defensive scheme. “He’s aggressive. He comes downhill real quick. He has great instincts. And he gets after it. … His future is bright with the University of Hawaii.”

York said Muasau also will be used as a running back, slotback and tight end on offense this coming season.

Muasau has a cumulative 3.6 grade-point average.

What's going on in Mililani HS? Seems like a lot of good players are coming out of that school. When I was young, Mililani HS was best known for having a good HS Band.

Have there been an influx of people with athletic DNA moving there in the last 20 years?

Back in the old days, Roosevelt was good because of the Hawaiian population, there were students that had the size to start. Then Kahuku and Farrington with the Polynesians that immigrated to (US) Hawaii.

Schools like Kaiser was never good (unless they cheated with district exceptions). How did Mililani became good at football?

Youth programs when the kids in the community are young, Mililani High School's commitment to athletics, committed coaching staff that has been around for years/continuity, and the occasional district exemption. According to the article, Muasau sounds like a homegrown player. But then again, according to another article it sounds like he was previously from Ewa Beach.

I don't know if that's the right way to say it, but I'm glad the public schools are playing the same game. Saint Louis always had good teams for decades cause they can pick the best of the best. Ok, there's coaching too.

Manti Teo would have been with Kahuku, if Punahou never signed him. The rich gets richer. It's almost like no chance for other schools cause all the best players are stacked on one or two teams, that get chance.

Recruiting but also yeah, Mililani and all the west side schools have continued to expand housing in the area. It's kinda funny tho how Kapolei and McKinley still aren't too good in sports since those two areas seem to be expanding the most...though Kaka'ako is more luxury condos for non-locals to buy

Just wondering what you guys thoughts are when it comes to "high school" recruiting. Or if I'm the only guy that feel this way.

Al Noga was from Farrington high school. No doubt, he would have play for Saint Louis, today.

What do you guys think of "high school" recruiting?
