Yep, it’s true. Aaron Glover of Princess Anne High in Virginia Beach confirmed to the Warrior Beat he has accepted a scholarship offer from the Rainbow Warriors. Glover said the Warriors began recruiting him this summer, visited him two weeks ago when they played at Navy, and made a solid offer. Glover is 6 feet and 205 pounds. He plays linebacker and safety, but was told he would compete at strong safety for UH. To be sure, Glover is very […]

Marquis Fairchild, a defensive end/linebacker from Chaminade-Madonna Prep (Hollywood, Fla.), reaffirmed his verbal commitment to the Rainbow Warriors. On Monday, Fairchild notified the UH coaches he would accept their scholarship. The coaches told him to consult again with his parents to make sure. Fairchild did, and with his mother’s blessing, he accepted the offer on Tuesday. Fairchild, who is 6-4 and 225 pounds, gives the Warriors’ a perimeter threat who can play on the edge as an outside linebacker or […]

The Rainbow Warriors conducted a scrimmage yesterday for redshirts and developing (and under-used) players. Bubba Poueu-Luna and Samson Anguay had touchdown catches. Josh Gist had a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown. Keelan Ewaliko made an acrobatic one-handed interception. On the return, Ewaliko displayed the shiftiness that made him a quarterback star at Baldwin High. Here’s the script: • 1st-and-10 from 40 — Ikaika Woolsey 8 pass to Josh Long • 2nd-and-2 from 32 — Jason Muraoka 4 run • […]

• The headline should have been: “Eli’s Coming” • OK, young people, there was this group called Three Dog Night that sang … • Back in the day, they used to determine the cold by the number of dogs used as bed warmers. For instance: “It will be a three-dog night in Laramie this Saturday.” • Tavita “Tui” Eli is a great “get,” as the recruiting folks like to say. • Eli will be a nice addition to a growing […]

Tavita “Tui” Eli, a lineman from Kealakehe High, told the Warrior Beat he has accepted a football scholarship from the Rainbow Warriors. Eli can play both sides of the line, but said he has been told he will compete as an offensive lineman. It’s a key recruit for UH, which is looking to restock the offensive line. The Warriors already have Dejon Allen, Elijah Tupai, John Wa‘a and R.J. Hollis in the wings. Here’s Eli’s highlights: Eli video. * * […]

Questions, questions. Can the Rainbow Warriors get their first victory of the season? What will Joey Iosefa do for a hana hou following last week’s 35-carry, 191-yard performance? Do the Warriors have an answer for the Aztecs’ Adam Muema, who is averaging 135.4 yards per game and 5.79 yards per carry the past five games? Did we really look like that in the 1960s/1970s? * * * * * OK, everybody get up, raised a “Hurricane,”  and sing along to […]

The Rainbow Warriors are optimistic that three ailing players — center Ben Clarke, defensive tackle Saui Matagiese and slotback/punter/punt returner Scott Harding — will be available to play against at San Diego State. And if they’re available, they’re starting. Kody Afusia moved from left guard to provide the snaps at center this week. Clarke, who had knee issues, is expected to make his 22nd consecutive start, the longest active streak among the Warriors. Even if Matagiese can’t go the distance, Marcus […]

Byron Hahn-Morin loved his family, his friends and music. He respected elders, youngsters and those his own age. As the self-styled “Ukulele Boi,” he entertained us with his music and inspired us with the belief that doing what you love best is the best way to live. He was 21. He will be missed. Deepest sympathies to Liz Kauai and her ohana. * * * * * Please click to watch Ukulele video: Ukulele Boi * * * * * […]
