Looking at Graham's coaching tree, he has always had good offensive assistants. I'm sure he'll find some good assistants.

I would have congratulated Kinne for the new position, but not anymore.

I have no issue with any one recruiting the islands, including ppl who formerly coached at UH. Getting the best opportunities to the kids should be deemed the most important thing. Besides, the top recruits usually go away.

Doesn't bother me. They've been recruiting pretty well here for a while.

Also I think the Hawaii kids already on the UCF team are, to a point, helping. I mean do you think Dillion Gabriel ends up at UCF if McKenzie Milton doesn't perhaps drop that hint to the coaches.

Yes if Hawaii boys want to play in the mainland we can get mainland boys who want to play in Hawaii. :)

He's rising fast in the coaching ranks. 33 and a HC at a D1 school. Incarnate Word is moving up too, from the Southland Conference to the WAC next year.
