It was back to the classroom for media who cover UH football. Football referee George Gusman conducted his annual meeting on the new NCAA rules this morning at the Saint Louis School Alumni Clubhouse. Reporters and two UH coaches attended. There were workbooks, videos and, of course, a pop quiz. * * * * * Tom-Warrior Nation is the winner of the youth-large Dri-fit UH shirt.

DE/OLB Jeremy Castro is looking into the possibility of pursuing a medical retirement. Castro has not practiced or played since suffering a back injury against San Diego State the past October. He had played in six games in 2015, including a start at Ohio State, when he amassed five solo tackles. If the medical retirement is solidified, UH is agreeable to paying for Castro’s two remaining years needed to earn a bachelor’s degree. As a Vista Murrietta (Calif.) High senior […]
Cole Brownholtz of Sierra College will be the Warriors’ fourth quarterback addition since the end of spring training. Brownholtz is a nice match because: 1) Sierra ran the “Air Raid” offense that has many concepts of the four-wide offense the Warriors utilized from 1999 through 2011, and 2) Nick Rolovich has kept tabs on Brownholtz since June 2014, when Brownholtz attended Nevada’s football camp for high school players. Rolovich was Nevada’s offensive coordinator at the time. UH also was able […]

They are enrolled in UH’s so-called “bridge” program — two three-credit classes that will enable the newcomers to acclimate to college life and earn a jump start in accumulating credits toward a degree. Many of the other newcomers are enrolled in Summer Session II, which begins July 5. Leo Koloamatangi is an example of a player benefitting from the bridge program and the ensuing summer sessions. Koloamatangi, who exited […]
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh knows his audience. For today’s clinic at Saint Louis School, Harbaugh wore the jersey of the Crusaders’ most decorated football alumnus. “I bought it from a street vendor in L.A. yesterday,” Harbaugh said of his Titans-blue Mariota jersey. There were more than 250 participants at the clinics, in which the Michigan, UH and Saint Louis coaches served as instructors. * * * * * From yesterday’s training at Schofield Barracks: * * * * *

The Warriors will split into two units — offense and defense — and take turns participating in exercises at two training areas. Told about the forecast of rain, head coach Nick Rolovich said: “I hope it does rain.” We’ll post pictures later.
