Maui Boy in Alaska wrote: Tue Feb 08, 2022 10:55 am Has anyone heard if UH has or will offer Codie Sauvao? He was a 2017 Kahuku grad I believe, and just played his 2nd year at Cali JC Golden West.

In 2021 he was voted 1st team All-State and Defensive Player of the year for the state of California CCCAA JC Football.

I am guessing he did a Morman mission in between. His twitter says he is still looking for a team to sign with.
Just an educated guess that his eligibility status might be in question....since his eligibility clock looks to have started back in 2017 when he attended New Mexico Military Institute (before transferring to Golden West College in 2018 for the past 3 seasons through this past 2021 season without any apparent 2-year LDS Mission break)....and doesn't have any offers from any programs (despite being selected as the 2021 California JC Defensive POY).
https://nmmiathletics.com/sports/fball/ ... codie_2r3j
https://www.gwcathletics.com/sports/fba ... codie_824k
https://www.gwcathletics.com/sports/fba ... codie_0r3n
https://www.gwcathletics.com/sports/fba ... codie_xlse

Unless he was/is granted with an NCAA eligibility waiver, it looks like he would have 1 to play 1 otherwise (if he meets the JC transfer eligibility requirements of the requisite minimum 2.5 Cumulative GPA with an AA degree).

Zhen Sotelo is already on the UH roster. Redshirted his 2021 true frosh season. Will be entering this coming 2022 season as redshirt frosh with 4 to play 4.

You're welcome for the free trip to Hawaii. UH has a better campus, location and is a better school. I assume these two guys wanted to stay in CA.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:

UH might have passed on Isaia....since wouldn't make sense for him to want to go to Central California (since he's originally from here before moving to Las Vegas for HS). UH probably tripped him to see if he might be an option to play OT since interior OL is not among UH's current recruiting priorities.

Makes sense that Pakola wanted to stay reasonably near NorCal since he's always lived in NorCal.

Maybe. But they are going to Fresno State with Jeff Tedford who is now the head coach and its almost a guaranteed top finisher in the MWC with possible national recognition. For now, any top recruits with offers from Fresno State should be scrutinized if Hawaii wants to spend their recruiting $ wisely. Hawaii needs to look for hidden gems through national contacts.
