Training camp: Day 5
In a dress rehearsal for tomorrow’s full-pad scrimmage, the Warriors were in shells for situational plays during today’s fifth practice of training camp. Quarterbacks Ikaika Woolsey, Aaron Zwahlen, Beau Reilly, Dru Brown, Cole Brownholtz and Cole McDonald each took a turn at the controls.
Of note:
> After right wideout Marcus Kemp mishandled a Woolsey pass, the Warriors went right back to Kemp on the next play. Woolsey scrambled right, then fired to Kemp for a touchdown.
> Brownholtz demonstrated his range of throwing motions. On one play, Brownholtz eyed a receiver on his right, then turned and fired to Ammon Barker on the left. The next play, Brownholtz zig-zagged to the right, then side-armed a pass to H-back Kaiwi Chung.
> Diocoemy Saint Juste is healthy — and having a remarkable week. His strength, low style and quickness make him a running threat, even on third-and-long. He is difficult to catch, even when defenders are trying to make two-hand-touch tags.
> Cornerback Cameron Hayes got a turn on the No 1 defense. He had man coverage on Kemp, wideout Keelan Ewaliko and, even, slotback John Ursua. Hayes made an interception on a tipped pass.
> On the other side, cornerback Rojesterman Farris made a leaping pick.
> At 6-2 and 235 pounds,Tevarua Eldridge does not have prototypical size for a 4-3 defensive end. But he is a smart player who has made smart plays the past two practices. He has taken a turn as a No. 1 end.
Go Bows.
Has anyone received their tickets to the Aussie game yet? If so where are you sitting? I’m trying to figure out where we might be located when we receive ours.
Interested to see who the starting QB will be, could be anyone!
Watch out for Brownholtz!
The guy has some experience and a cannon!
Sleeper grail!
Go Warriors!
Cal already named their ab,
Qb
Anyone know what time the scrimmage is tomorrow?
ST, thanks for the update on the players, especially Ikaika and Brownholtz. Me too, I think maybe Brownholtz has a chance to start. Looking forward to tomorrow’s practice where I can see all of the players in pads.
Playing smart, knowing your playbook, play for each other, and 60 mins of effort will go a long way …
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS !!!!!
haka @ 4 –
“sleeper grail” I love it – you watch his highlights and it does look that way don’t it. QBs are loaded.
I hope we can see a healthy DSJ all season. I know we haven’t seen his full potential yet. He can fly. We have a great crew at RB so far.
Great tidbits, Mr. Tsai. Lotsa little things can make great things.
GO WARRIORS!!!
What time is practice tomorrow? Is it open to the public?
Top 10 again!
DPK — I got the answer– click on my name and scroll down right side. [0630, yes]
Any one attending a U.H. football Road game this year (even tentatively)?
Post here or email me for listing on the Tsai-ko Away game list and get-together (maybe) logistics planner:

Practice, Saturday, Aug. 6 6:30 a.m. (open), per UH website.
Some people still sleeping at that time.
Baldwin alums doing good. Maui No Ka Oi!
Before David slew the giant (Michigan), he done killed a bear 🙂
If we can get a QB to grasp the playbook, make plays, take care of the football, and lead this team! Man that’s all we need! Got so much talent on offense just gotta put it together!!
Rolovich should pick a starting QB on Monday.
Or sometime next week at least, that Cal game is just around the corner.
Saturday practice start update from Hawaii Athletics web site: “The Rainbow Warriors return to practice on Saturday morning with a start time and location changed to 7:00 a.m. on the turf field at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletic Complex. It will mark the last practice of the week, first of camp on turf and the first day of full pads.”
How is Ursua doing? I hope he gets the play book down and be part of the mix.
Warrior Dave:
MasaBoy and I were in Alaska week of 7/17/for 6 days.
Thursday it turned cold – maybe high 40s, but Friday it got colder and windier – then Saturday, it was raining, cold, and wind blowing – had difficulty getting to the boat for our ride to Juneau.
whitey:
I actually lost weight because of the “no seconds” for breakfast and dinner AND no snacking all day except to munch on ginger to keep the “pomp” in control!!!
got to talk with you on fishing in/around Ketchikan (sp) – met a “fly” fisherman who said good things about fishing in that area
Should be watchin Sports Center. Neil Everett about Cohost Larry Biel “Bruddah Aint Got No Pants On……And Da Slippahs!”
Instant Classic with Aloha Friday Ties on…..hehe

Singing “Its Aloha Friday”
Col.,Fishing is always fun when you are with friends, do your own cooking, make lunch for ocean fishing, make sure you have enough beverage, and always toast the fish gods. Hahahaha. Call al for my phone number. Have fun in down under.
Guud Morning Tsaikos…Bootiful Day!
Everybody still sleeping?…or at the scrimmage.
Hoping for some Tsaikos analysis of the scrimmage.
IMUA WARRIORS!
Scrimmage observation:
Everybody pray Dru Brown wins the starting job. That’s if you want to see points on the scoreboard.
Thanks, Jeezy. I’ve only seen Brown’s highlight video and an interview, but something about him stood out from the get-go. I think he has the “it” factor, the swagger. I know Stephen likes him, too.
Hoping one of the JC QBs can win the job. Main thing is they need to get the play book down and get to know strengths and weakness of their receivers. I wasn’t overly impressed with any of the QBs from the Spring.
29. He’s very unorthodox and will never look good in. 7 on 7 type structured setting. But when pass rush is on and a play is needed to be made, he was the 1 qb I saw potentially have that intangible to make something happen. None of the QBs could move the ball really besides Brown today. You put him in a Oregon type offense where he can read the D, and he makes a play. John Ursua is just really good and he knows how to find him. He has a long way to go but I am praying that he wins the job before cal game. Woolsey looks ok but it’s same ole game managing type play that won’t put up a lot of points.
Thanks jeezy!
Haka… “sleeper grail” 😉
