Looks like Mililani is taking the hit in offseason transfers early on.

[GentlemanOfTheLou]

Looks like Mililani is taking the hit in offseason transfers early on.

They also already lost that Kahuku transfer from last year in Kekua Aumua, I believe he transferred out of Mililani to IMG in Florida before the season even started, pretty unfortunate, but good for him.

Looks like Mililani is taking the hit in offseason transfers early on.

Not to bad. The Satele brothers, Samson ‘27 & Trison ‘28 transferred to Mililani.

Looks like Mililani is taking the hit in offseason transfers early on.

Still early, lots of time to the start of the season. Plenty of time to pick up boy.
Is the quarterback that transferred from Bishop Gorman to Kapolei expected to beat out Rodrigues for the starting job?
