Daedae Hunter re-entered the portal (with 3 to play 2).....after an unexplained home detainment by Lynchburg police on Dec. 4. Police eventually left Daedae Hunter's residence without any explanation.

Liberty University running back detained by Lynchburg Police: Video
by Ezra Hercyk
Sunday, December 4th 2022

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) —
Liberty University Flames star running back Daveon "Dae Dae" Hunter posted a video on his Twitter page early Sunday morning showing him being placed in handcuffs by two Lynchburg Police officers.

In a tweet posted just after midnight, Hunter claims LPD barged into his home with no warrant and put him in handcuffs. He then says he doesn't know why the police were called to his home.

Possible entry into the transfer portal (when it re-opens on April 15th). Having redshirted his 2022 true frosh season, he would still have 4 to play 4. Hmmm.....
Older brother (and former UH DL) Alema is in his 2nd season as DL GA for UH.

FCS Missouri State transfer NG/DT/FB Siale Suliafu (6-0, 295), originally from Ontario, CA., with 3 to play 2. As a St. Bernard HS '21 grad (Playa Del Rey, CA.), recruiting interests & options diminished (after having his 2020 CIF-SS senior season was initially cancelled altogether, then subsequently abbreviated & postponed to March/April 2021) so ended up signing with FCS Missouri State in Dec 2021. Could be an ideal big-back FB prospect (like former UH RB Reagan Mauia) for red zone & short-yardage FB specialist

Hard for any recruit to take Hawaii serious when we don't even have a real stadium for them to play in, and I don't mean the high school tinker toy complex. Make A.
