The 2019 Rainbow Warrior Football Elite Camps kicked off with this morning’s session for offensive and defensive linemen on the Manoa campus.

The UH coaching staff and coaches from 21 universities, including three from Pac-12 schools, served as instructors.

The state’s top O-lineman for the 2020 class, Faaope Laloulu, was among the participants. Laloulu played for Saint Francis School, which recently closed. He is set to enroll at Farrington High for his senior year.

    Akamai Okole:
    Sorry for the early call.
    I’m never really sure if I’m calling too early or too late.
    I just try to use the cheery voice so the receiver doesn’t realize he was awakened.

    Kind of slow going right now so I’m gonna post some thoughts on UH Basketball.

    I was watching some Hawaii Developmental League summer league basketball games on you tube. Overall I thought the ability level of the League’s players was good enough. However I did feel like the intensity was missing, so the product lacked some “passion”. Not real physical either. And I didn’t really see the benefit for the UH players aside from some cardio work.

    Ganot’s players need to work on specific skills applied under some stress in game situations. Maybe a “pick-up” styled format using referees (with the League’s same players but split up a little by ability) would work better for their development. Like a scrimmage. No clock. First to 30. The UH guys play together. No coaches. Just 5 guys (UH players) trying to figure it out. Would be way more intense.

    I remember at Kailua Gym in the early 90’s Hawaii Loa’s (later to be HPU) basketball guys would come and play pick-up ball with the regulars there. Once in a while the Military guys from KMCAS (Marine Base Hawaii now) would bring elite guys. So intense. One time UH guys came to play (Kalia McGee was outstanding that day) Even George Gilmore and Kahi Villa would play around that time. The style of play attracted the attention of the “kids” who would watch from the bleachers. Those kids would become pieces to the long running Kalaheo High Basketball distinction. Was such a good watch. So intense. So good. Ganot needs his guys to work out like that.
