If I’m playing craps, I’m pressing my bets. If I’m coaching third, I’m sending the runner home. And if I’m running HTA, I’m making an offer — a real offer — to Dana White and UFC. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Maybe holding a UFC event in Hawaii doesn’t make the state money directly. So what? There are a lot of things we spend money on that don’t make money immediately, maybe never. But the value of hosting a […]
For inspiration, the Warriors can look to the wall of dreams — a newly installed display of former players and their NFL teams. Na Koa paid for the project, which is displayed in a corridor leading to the football locker room. * * * * * The UH-UC Davis baseball opener will be moved a day earlier, from Friday to Thursday, in anticipating of an approaching weekend storm. First pitch is set for 11:30 a.m. Hawaii time. The Hawaii
The defense won the day, Nick Rolovich said following today’s fourth practice of spring training. The Warriors returned to the practice field after a one-week hiatus because of UH’s spring break. UH’s secondary looked sharp. Second-year freshmen Damario Mclean and Donovan Dalton made athletic breakups. Manu Hudson-Rasmussen also played well at nickel. In team drills, Cole McDonald led two drives at quarterback. Jeremy Moussa, Kyle Gallup and Justin Uahinui each directed one. “There’s not a ton of separation right now,” […]
In an all-or-nothing move, former Warrior receiver Makoa Camanse-Stevens will compete in a two-day Canadian Football League tryout. The audition is set for May 5-6 in Seattle. Camanse-Stevens, who was a quarterback at Kamehameha Schools, is hopeful of landing an invitation to a CFL camp. If not, he is strongly considering that the tryout will be his last attempt at pursuing a pro-football job. Last year, Camanse-Stevens played professionally in Germany. * * * * * Is your boss restricting […]
Bubba Reynolds, the strength and conditioning coordinator for football the past two seasons, is no longer with the program, the Warrior Beat has confirmed. Tommy Heffernan, UH’s overall strength and conditioning coordinator, and his staff will work with the Warriors until a replacement is named. The Warriors, who were off for a week because of UH’s spring break, resume spring training on Tuesday. * * * * * Fresh off a record-setting series win over UC Irvine, the baseball ‘Bows […]
Three former Warriors — inside linebacker Simon Poti, outside linebacker Makani Kema-Kaleiwahea and running back Paul Harris — are participating in Spring League 2018, a two-week showcase in Austin, Texas. More than 120 players are divided into four teams, with games scheduled for April 7 and April 12. Poti said scouts from pro teams have been attending practices. Poti said the second practice was completed today. He said they put on pads for the next practice on Monday. Two other […]
Former UH running back Ryan Tuiasoa still has pro dreams. His current one will be narrated in Finnish. Tuiasoa said he has signed a contract to play for the Hameenlinna Huskies of Finland’s Maple League. Tuiasoa participated in UH’s pro day last week, but decided “I needed more film if I was going to make a real run at it.” At the suggestion of former Warriors Makani Kema-Kaleiwahea and Makoa Camanse-Stevens — both of whom played in Germany last year […]
It sounds strange for this to be opening day for baseball considering the ‘Bows aleeady have played 22 games. But, in a way, the significant part of UH’s season begins today with the Big West opener at UC Irvine. People who know things tell me if the ‘Bows finish with 30-plus wins and second in the Big West, they’ll go to the Regionals. Third place might — might — be good enough. Today’s game begins at 3:30 p.m. Hawaii time […]
