He played in 6 games and had a total of 7 tackles. Not much production.

That tape looked like any LB in Hawaii HS - made many hesitation steps, took bad angles and didn't fire his guns at contact. Hope he's vastly improved. I'm puzzled. Our walk on LBs had better tape. Hopefully, not a sign that no one like play at UH.

Just guessing that maybe the coaches might’ve seen this video as an indication of physical potential....’cuz it doesn't appear as though UH offered or is pursuing any current or former teammate. https://twitter.com/clarencemcdoug1/status/1517303903976579073
Just within the past month, UH has made scholie offers to 7 other JC hybrid DE/OLB prospects at various JCs (1 @ Butte College in NorCal; 2 @ Coffeyville Community College in KS.; 1 @ Iowa Western Community College; 1 @ Mississippi Gulf Coast College; 1 @ Northwest Mississippi Community College; 1 @ Riverside City College in the IE/SoCal). Of these other 7 JC hybrid DE/OLB prospects that UH offered, 3 already have offers and/or interest from P5 programs along with other G5 offers while 2 have multiple G5 offers with the other 2 having multiple FCS offers.

The quantity and quality of offers probably correlates to UH's recruiting odds of successfully signing a JC prospect but doesn't necessarily reflect the quality of the prospect.....when considering that several recent UH starters (Marcus Armstrong-Brown, Zion Bowens, Cedric Byrd, Makoa Camanse-Stevens, Cortez Davis, Alex Green, Mana Hudson-Rasmussen, Kendall Hune, Kohl Levao, Cameron Lockridge, DJuan Matthews, Kana’i Pinanco, Gene Pryor, Jason-Matthew Sharsh, Jared Smart, Justus Tavai, JoJo Ward) received minimal other recruiting offers/interest coming out of the JC ranks.

While Coach Abe identified, evaluated & recruited several of these under-the-radar JC prospects (Bowens, Byrd, Davis, Hudson-Rasmussen, Lockridge, Tavai) to UH, hopefully the entire UH coaching and recruiting staff are solid evaluators of physical talent & abilities (as well as personal character) in order to find and recruit that under-the-radar sleeper JC prospect (who is academically eligible to transfer in to UH).....since several P5 and G5 programs are also focusing their current Fall recruiting efforts on JC prospects (with the transfer portal limited only to graduate transfers until early-December) more so than HS prospects (who were the focus of recruiting efforts from Spring through Summer).

T-Chang said (on Call the Coach) he like players that play other sports. He is 6'5" plays basketball. Can't coach height. Can't pass that up.

An additional offer was made to the 8th other JC hybrid DE/OLB prospect.....this one from the College of San Mateo in the Bay Area/NorCal.

Well that was quick. These players really need to start waiting to commit unless they're actually 100%. This dude took 2 saturdays then decomit, sorry but that's pretty weak.

Maybe we have better options.

This may be a classic case of “he may not have been offered a scholarship so to save face he announces he decommits.”

I'm sure each school "steal" each other's recruits, IMO, especially from UH. If they read this forum, and see that UH made an offer to player name XXXXXXXX, and he is from Saint Louis or Kahuku HS, all USC got to do is send the kid an email, and you know he is going to USC. Easy. Save money. One could be wrong, but you know it would be 80% right decision, since UH already did all the work and background checks.

Recall how the other schools (forget now) try to steal Rolo's players by sending it to UH dorm address.

On the flip side, if Oregon made an offer to a local kid, UH should not even bother to try. That recruiting packet is just going to the trash. Waste of paper and postage.
