The unsupervised workouts usually consist of 7-on-7 drills. This time, the Warriors included 11-on-11 sets. That allowed some of the young linemen to hone their footwork. * * * * * The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team also is out early as part of offseason conditioning drills.

If everything goes according to plan, the renovated athletic-training facility will be fully operational by Aug. 1. That will be just in time for the opening of the Warriors’ training camp on Aug. 4. It also will provide relief for achy players. The facility’s iced-water tubs are not yet available to players participating in the offseason conditioning program. UH is awaiting final inspection from the vendors. When approval is finalized, UH will accept the project. * * * * *

The Warriors were on the clock. The unsupervised workouts (focusing mostly on 7-on-7 drills) started at 4:30 p.m. sharp and were set to run, at most, for about 90 minutes. That was because the prepaid meals at the UH cafeteria would be served only until 6:30 p.m. But the players kept yelling “two more.” Not two more plays, but two more series. It was like small-kid games, when “best of three” became “best of five” and then “best of seven” […]

Offensive lineman Ben Clarke is a biology major with a 3.65 cumulative GPA. As a freshman center, he was named the Warriors’ most valuable player in 2012. Last year, he moved to left tackle, where he allowed only one sack. Today, he was named to the Lombardi Award watch list, an honor that goes to nation’s best offensive lineman or linebacker. “It’s pretty cool,” said Clarke, who likely will remain on the blind side this season. * * * * […]

Former UH center Kody Afusia has reached agreement to join the Los Angles KISS of the Arena Football League. Afusia said he will sign a contract tomorrow. He played guard and center at UH, but will be used as a center with the KISS. Gene Simmons, front man for the band “Kiss” and a reality TV star, is majority owner of the LA franchise. * * * * *

When the strength/conditioning coaches are away, the Warriors come out to play, with unsupervised workouts. Because I’m enlarging the pics, we’re splitting the gallery into parts.

> Jordan Wynn has joined Fresno State as a graduate assistant. He is reunited with FS offensive coordinator Dave Schramm, who had coached at Utah, where Wynn played quarterback collegiately. Wynn joined the Warriors as a GA in January 2013, then was placed in charge of quarterbacks after OC Aaron Price was fired in August 2013. In 2014, he was promoted to full-time assistant coach with play-calling responsibilities. He departed the Warriors in March after the Warriors reorganized the coaching […]

Yep, it was wet and early, but the Warriors completed the fifth week of offseason training with this morning’s gassers.
