i heard that trent from Mililani really likes stanford, may have to get on him early. What about the Brostek kid from HPA? Lakalaka and Buckner from Punahou looks good. Moriota and Sua-Passi has good potential to have standout years.

[warriorfan18]

Let the recruiting begin again!

[Makai TailG8TAZ]

Coach Mack and crew gotta hurry up and show some love. Recruiting never ends.

ANTWAUN WOODS Committed to USC.

Go get um Coach!!!

Hopefully the UH coaches get in early on this Cali DT prospect....Faitele Faafoi (Tustin HS) #55....ranked as 4th top OC prospect for Class of 2011....since IMHO not really any obvious local DT prospects....

From ST blog....

#182 Garret:
February 4th, 2010 at 7:39 pm

Looking ahead to the 2011 class:

So who's the No. 1 player in Hawaii in next year's recruiting crop?

Tom Lemming points to Paulay Asiata, a 6-5, 290-pound offensive guard/tackle from Word of Life Academy in Honolulu.

In the same tier is quarterback Marcus Mariota, a 6-3, 175-pounder who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds. He attends Catholic high school St. Louis in Honolulu. Also, at ND's position of need, there's 6-4, 240-pound defensive end Koa Ka'ai from Kamehameha High School in Honolulu.

The other elite juniors per Lemming are 6-1, 190-pound safety Peni Vea from Kealakehe High School in Kailua-Kona and Tevita Tonga, a 6-3, 300-pound guard from Schwenke's high school - Kahuku.

From what I observed firsthand from live game action last season, JMHO that I would agree that Mariota (as athlete), Asiata, Ka'ai, and Tonga are definitely among the local Class of 2011 kids that UH should offer early....and stay on persistently & consistently 'til NLI Day 2011.

While haven't seen Vea play, I heard that he tore it up at the Big Island 2009 PIAA Combine and the Hawaii All-Poly Camp last summer.
