Re: 10.08 100m WR/RB Eddie Osei-Nketia In Portal

Oh well. A project that didn't pan out. Useless world class speed if he's not holding a ball. Best of luck in Eddie's future. Figured bc he didn't seem super fast with pads. I played with track guys before and the pads, helmet and getting cracks is nothing like track. The RB room is now full and ha...

Re: Harsh Reality

Most of the upcoming departures have nothing to do with NIL. Also some you will see were recruited during the TC Era. Other "Project" players still trying to find a position to fill and yet we still recruiting "Project" players when we got big pukas to fill. The market will open...

He was a project that never made significant progress. Thanks for your efforts and best of luck.

Re: 2024 TE Jeremiah Wright commits

TC said he wants to recruit height to create mismatches, so understand this pick up.

Could be used in jumbo package at QB, play DL, heck could fill out to be an OT. Kid has plenty of upside.

Re: Fullerton CC DT Jordon Crawford Commits

Landing a few big bodies helps a depleted group. Jordan has nice agility and explosiveness for a big guy.

Really needs to work on pad level and using his hands because what worked at the JC level (bull rush, over powering people) will get you manhandled at D1 level.

Re: 2024 UH Recruiting, Offers & Visits

UH offered 3 guys this week. I thought all scholarships were used already? Did players leave or will these new guys count towards '25 recruits?

Re: 10.08 100m WR/RB Eddie Osei-Nketia Signs LOI

Any spring reviews on how "Fast Eddie" looked at running back? Got minimal reps throughout most Spring Ball practices….but got ample reps in the final scrimmage. Definitely still a work in progress. His blocking is poor and he runs very upright, so those things will hold him back. I'd lik...

Re: Does Ganot Stay or Go

Finally won a tournament game and then had to dig out of holes in both halves against Davis. Does this performance get him off the hot seat or should UH look to break ties, pay the buyout, and get a new coach who can move the needle. Frankly I was happy for the players to get that first win. But th...

He was very inconsistent; would make difficult catches then whiff on easy catches. That reduced his playing time.

Players redshirting are usually on the roster, blueshirts/Grey aren't, so might be another situation.

Re: New Aloha Stadium & TC Ching Expansion

Politicians are so incompetent in Hawaii, they can't even develop the next evolution of our market even with stolen /occupied land. Think about that for a second. It's such a travesty that everytime there's discussion about large projects, they always talk about affordable housing. Yet, when they do...

Re: *** Official Micah Alejado Thread ***

There's a few things at play here with Micah. He won a bunch at a high level @Gorman. One could say all the talent around him was the reason for winning. Also, he doesn't check the boxes height wise. However, he's won and being a champion means your able to deliver at a high level at QB. His accurac...

There's plenty of depth at WR. Perhaps he knew his playing time would be limited?

Re: Tupu Alualu new St Louis HC

Did Tupu give up his gangsta ways? We was robbing people back in the day. There were rumors (for a long time) for Alualu becoming the head coach but the off field/character issue, you know...
