Former Warrior will attend CFL tryout
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 your radio privileges at work?
Not to worry, if you can’t listen to today’s UH-Pacific baseball game on NBC Sports Radio 1500 AM, then you can follow the live stats on UOP’s Web site. But you have to be patient. UOP media folks are building the page today, but it should be ready for the first pitch at 3 p.m. (Hawaii time).
It looks like another wet week. Which means only one thing: Spring football returns tomorrow.
Good luck Makoa, you can do it.
Makoa is very steady on the field and has a knack for making the big play. Not sure how he can show that in a two-day tryout but hopefully someone in the CFL will give him a shot.
I think some people were born at the wrong time.
Camanse-Stevens would have thrived in the run-and-shoot.
I think Chris Brown would have been great on those UH defenses of the 1970s. Then again, Johnny Bravo shirts and bell bottoms would not have been a good look on Brown.
bell bottom pants!!!!!!!!!
yikes, harkens me back to the mid-50s when it was the rage
what a waste of material!
reminds me of a very good friend who was poor — we were poor, but he was worst — today, he is the most wealthy of our group — talk about a self-made millionaire
but, his story connects with bell bottom pants because he would always beat up on the “swabbies” who came into port — hilarious part was he joined the Navy after high school
GO MAX!!!
MANEO!!!
A-House
They had bell bottoms in the 50s?
Groovy
We didn’t call them bell-bottoms until the later ’60’s. Before that we called them drapes.
I remember him. Camanse-Stevens. He’s a big guy. He was a fast runner. End.
1500 AM radio: is this a new station? Since I am into gadgets, this is on a 1,420,000 hertz or cycles per second frequency wave carrier. Which the station is located somewhere in town near Ala Moana shopping center. Tall building antenna. Is this the correct location?
Weren’t drapes from the ’60s, too … along with polish-cotton shirts? OK, dating myself.
Last night’s post on Hawai’i men’s volleyball. 6 Teams leaving the MPSF, joining the Big West conference. Two teams added to MPSF, Concordia Irvine, Grand Canyon.
The tournament for the national title will choose from these conferences. MPSF, Big West, MIVA, and one long shot. Top 10 teams ranks. #7 Hawai’i. But a playoffs is needed first, Big West conference.
Poor thing heh, KIF? Just saying what they feel and think. Blogging.
1500 AM radio. And who ever this is, it is a new station.
They needed enough input signals from the antenna that can generate a lot of output signals to go to all over Hawai’i, and just for this particular game. Why would the station be made of one show baseball at UH? Because they just want a baseball station for UH. Who are the announcers? Not Leahy or Pal Eldridge. Then who?
Colorful and entertaining baseball show on UH. Good idea. Never heard of the others though. UH has too many midgets every year. Smurf.
Well, if you want to make it technical, since I am part of that network, 1500 AM and via Samsung phone, I am the station 1500 AM technical worker too. Get it?
#8 and #10:
drapes or bell bottoms were interchangeable for us
mine were black and navy blue — 16″ and my Mom made me iron them
“formal” wear was leather cross slippers — top of the class!
are the receivers hurting yet?
lack of wind & stamina?
are the QBs getting more accurate in reading the receivers running routes and pass/catch? minute time to decide who will be most open — short passing yards, but many after the catch yards?
in the RnS — is there a primary receiver or does QB have to “scan” the field quickly and decide who gets the pass?
hear tell that Coach Kenny N turned down Arizona because they did not want the triple option
are the 3 academies the only ones using the triple option?
Mr. A-House, no forget the guru at Georgia Tech, Paul Johnson!
This post is robot-free (just rubbing it in)
Yes drapes khaki ironed stiff with starch with side pocket for the skinny comb for our Hollywood pomade hair. You could stand the pants up by itself because was heavily starched with a nice crease.
Good luck, Makoa!
A-House
New Mexico has a version
There were two kinds of drapes – khaki and flannel. Generally, cotton-lhaki ones you wore to school and the flannel ones for going out to parties. Me too, my mom made me iron my drapes because I was too finicky about the crease and stiffness.
Georgia Tech and New Mexico use the triple option.
#15 A-House,
Wow, leather crossed slippers, I remember my Dad wearing those. . .
off topic …
The Hawaii basketball team recently received its first verbal commitment of the spring from Eddie Stansberry, a 6-foot-3 sophomore guard at the City College of San Francisco.
Stansberry, who has two years of eligibility remaining starting with the 2018-19 season, scored 13 points per game at CCSF while hitting 42.8 percent of his 3-point attempts. The Bay Area native took an official visit to the Manoa campus a little over a week ago.

In baseball, Pacific scored a TD plus a FG to UH’s extra point, 10-1. They made mincemeat of UH, a Jekyll & Hyde team at times.
Georgia State runs a hybrid triple option.
And in other news, Gonzaga turns down Mountain West offer.
This is sort of Hawaii-related because Kara Lawson worked with Kanoa Leahey on a Diamond Head Classic game.
When you’re an announcer for a national telecast, you can’t cheer; your comportment needs to be neutral.
There is a great video of the ESPN team when Arike Ogunbawale hit that buzzer-beating three to knock off Mississippi State.
Rebecca Lobo’s reaction tells me that she is still smarting from the SEC school knocking off her alma mater. She looks visibly happy.
Kara Lawson, ever the professional, sits motionless with lips pursed, betraying no emotion.
Hirai Tailor in Moiliili was the place to go for drapes in the mid 50s
#19,#22, who sprinkled the drapes before ironing? Did you use waxed paper or that cloth with the block of wax in between to keep the iron from sticking?
RE: #27
Whoops, I meant Georgia Southern.
