McDonald showed leadership while masking pain. This season, he conquered a knee ailment and an incident in which he suffered internal bleeding.
Didn’t know he was playing with a knee injury,
Which now makes sense as to why he was not running as much or why he was not able to
Move well in the pocket
hawaii returns 17 starters on offense and defense. should be a solid veteran year for rolo and the run and shoot. but, . . .
aug.24: arizona, at aloha stadium.
sep.07: oregon state, at aloha stadium.
sep.14: washington, at washington.
nov.03: central arkansas: at aloha stadium.
nov.30: army, at aloha stadium.
with fresno state and boise state, that's four teams that were ranked in 2018.
going to be a spectacular year, filled with potential breakout for hawaii.
Would like to see an expanded offensive playbook for Year 2 of the run and shoot. So many weapons and plays that were not utilized in this past years package. Not talking about trick plays, just add more to the base package. And looking forward to what Year 2 of Batoon's defense can bring. Too many weaknesses this past season, but a year of experience plus adding in the redshirts and new recruits will determine if calls for Batoon's head from some folks were premature.
Warriors went 8-6 in 2018, but played a schedule that ranked 108th in terms of difficulty. That will change dramatically in 2019. Next year's team could be better than 2018's and still not reach 8 wins. Tough task ahead.
