If all goes according to schedule, former Punahou two-sport standout Larry “Tui” Tuileta will enroll at UH as a full-time student in January. Tuileta, who is taking classes at Kapiolani Community College, is seeking enough transferrable credits after transferring from USC in January. That timetable would enable Tuileta to compete for the Warrior volleyball team during the 2017 season. He said he is unsure of his football plans. Tuileta was the Offensive Player of the Year as a Punahou School […]

A few days ago, head coach Nick Rolovich decided he wanted to use the Pokemon Go craze as a way to bring together UH and the community. Rolovich consulted with his kids and players, notably Marcus Kemp, Samson Anguay, Steven Lakalaka and Zach Wilson, then planned a Pokemon hunt on the Manoa campus. Rolovich spread the word through tweets and e-cards. He alerted the media. He also gained clearance with Campus Security. Yes, even virtual events require navigating red tape. […]

Once again, the players took control, conducting their own workouts. After going through 45 minutes of plays, they decided to have a little fun, with players switching sides during a game of two-hand touch. (Safety Trayvon Henderson’s turn as a running quarterback is impressive. Check the video below.) Then it was on to the fun stuff. On to the videos: > A little razzle-dazzle: > Trayvon Henderson: > Screen play: * * * * * Princess Leila has selected Kapakahi […]

It also will give kids a chance to be on a college campus. The event will be from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday, July 16) […]

The thing about Nick Rolovich is he does not make rash decisions. And, after months of pondering, Rolovich promoted running backs coach/run-game coordinator Brian Smith to offensive coordinator and associate head coach. The move is significant. It means Smith will call the offensive plays and that Rolovich will not. It also means that if anything happens to Rolovich, Smith is in charge of the program. Rolovich and Smith were roommates and UH teammates in the early 2000s, student managers under […]

Oh, to be young. After eight weeks of conditioning drills and workouts, yesterday was supposed to be a day of rest. But some Warriors decided to conduct their own mini-unsupervised workout … at noon. Under heated conditions, they ran routes against imaginary coverages for about an hour. First, we start with the videos — in slo-mo, of course. > Dylan Collie > Makoa Camanse-Stevens > Ammon Barker On to the pictures:

The Warriors’ first practice of training camp is in 20 days. But for the Warriors, the players-only unsupervised workouts have been ongoing this summer. Roll the slides …
