Darius Muasau never became the Jahlani Tavai we hope he would become.
However, I would have to agree that this one hurt a bit more, as Muasau has been a guy on TG's A-List.
Since I took this stance (In TG we Trust), I will say that Hawaii football is sinking and I don't know if it has to do with TG. Going back to Lee Cataluna's story, perhaps her points are gaining strength. Hawaii (UH) has always been the backup date to the prom. No stadium. No (National) TV coverage. If I was ESPN or CBS Sports, why would I telecast a venue that looks like a high school field? (Great respect for the Ching family for their $$$).
Anyone with next level pro asperations should leave UH, if can. Get more chance playing for mainland schools, and that's a fact we hate to admit.
I hope we can look back at all the players that enter the transfer portal. See where they end up and if that was a good decision or not?
My recall is that those who entered end up not to be good decisions, especially giving up being a starter. At least there's playing time, more stats, get chance.
I'll disagree with this. If you have the talent, the NFL will find you. There are a lot of guys from FCS schools. There are more NFL QBs from schools like
Delaware and North Dakota State than UH. Shoot, currently, both those schools have more guys in the NFL than we do.

Mississippi. Valley. State.
That's what I keep telling my dad. It doesn't matter who you play for, if you're good enough, the NFL scouts will find you.
The news just keeps getting worse....with Jonah & Justus also joining Darius today in the portal.
Just guessing....but the timing suggests that this might have been a coordinated effort....to maximum fan reaction. Guarantee that there'll be something covered in this evening's local TV sports news coverage segment.
BTW no specific thank you to any coaches....just to the equipment guys from Justus.
Next man up, TG is who we have. He’s better than Norm Chow, Rolo aint coming back and Miano does not belong in a HC job, tired of his backstabbing and b!tching all the damn time. He didnʻt do Cole right, always tryna pump up Chevan, heʻs frickin shady

three defensive starters leave in one day and your response is "next man up" and some comments about the tv analyst.

It doesn’t look good now but I’ll judge once Graham’s tenure is over. I thought Rolo would fall flat on his face after his second year yet his last two years were great.
Plus with these guys as the primary starters the team was only 11-11. Can we honestly say that this team was anything special?
On Matlins behalf Graham’s resume going in was impressive. Yes Marlin should have taken into consideration the Hawaii factor and if the Texan Graham would fit in the islands but I can’t blame Matlin for wanting to hire him.
