After posing for pictures coordinated by media relations director Neal Iwamoto, the players had one goal in mind: sleep.

McDonald, Padello and the other West Division players will have social media functions this evening. Tomorrow is a full day of interviews and promo sessions with television, radio and print media.

    driving to Windward Mall yesterday for lunch — this popped into my head for 2019 season.

    UH will go 13 – 0; Cole will pass for 85 TDs and 7,452 yards; each starting WR will gain over 1,500 each; UH will win the Fiesta Bowl; and Cole will be the Heisman winner

    how about that for a brain buster!!!

    Big question is where is Tavion Allen?? Also noticed thomas wades name wasnt on the roster


  13. Stephen Tsai July 22, 2019 12:10 pm

    Thomas Wade has departed the team.


  14. burro sabio July 22, 2019 2:48 pm

    They made a lot of changes to the roster yesterday, Wade was listed earlier in the day. At first there were no single digit numbers and no incoming players. Then there were number changes and more players added, including the newcomers and a few surprises like Bernal-Wendt and Faagau returning. Today Leonard Lee lost his number. Probably more changes to come.
