Scott Harding was named to the Mountain West Conference’s first team as a punter. No other Warrior was selected to the first or second team. Honorable mention went to center Kody Afusia, left tackle Ben Clarke, kicker Tyler Hadden, right tackle Sean Shigematsu, safety Taz Stevenson and defensive end Beau Yap.
Another season has come to an end. But enough about Walking Dead’s mid-season finale. For the Warriors, here’s the agenda: > The Warriors held their final team meeting of 2014 this morning. By reports, they reviewed the season and outlined goals for the offseason workouts. > Recruiting, which has never stopped, is into full mode. There are four coaches on the mainland recruiting. The most pressing area, obviously, is defensive tackle/nose guard. But the Warriors are not restricting the search […]
Today is the final travel day of the season, which means we’re in hiatus until this afternoon. See you then.
Here are some things to ponder: > If UH beats Fresno State, San Jose State beats San Diego State and UNLV beats Nevada, then the Warriors win the West Division and play in next week’s MWC title game. > Consider a worst-case scenario in which quarterback Ikaika Woolsey can’t play in the second half. Will UH burn Beau Reilly’s redshirt year by playing him for only a half? > If Woolsey plays well today, shouldn’t he be considered the No. […]
The Warriors today will make the 229-mile drive from Manhattan Beach, where they stayed since Wednesday night, to Fresno. For their last trip to Fresno, they pulled into — and out of — an In-N-Out Burger. Apparently, the popular eatery has difficulty accommodating a 90-member party. We’ll have pictures later from today’s modified practice.
It will be Thanksgiving SoCal-style for the Warriors today. They are scheduled to practice at an L.A.-area high school, then have Thanksgiving dinner at the hotel where they are staying. Traveling a day earlier than usual makes sense on a busy Holiday weekend. One media member was stranded in San Francisco when the pilot did not show up for the flight to Fresno. The member learned that he would not be able to get a guaranteed seat on a Fresno […]
The Warriors will conduct their final regular-season practice in Manoa today, then depart this afternoon for the road trip against Fresno State. Scott Harding will be held out of practice as a precaution against numerous ailments, but is expected to play this Saturday. He also did not practice last week but was used as a punter, punt returner and receiver against UNLV. * * * * * Daniel Mar Chong, a former UH assistant athletic trainer, has been credited with […]
To be sure, UH says farewell to its senior student-athletes like no other school. Lei, family and friends, game-winning touchdown … With the Warriors ending their season on the road this weekend, tomorrow’s final Manoa practice is essentially the season-ender for the more than 35 scout players. The redshirts and developing players who form the scout teams attend the same number of meetings and run the same number of gassers as the depth-chart players, but they don’t get the payoff […]
