@Broken Spoke “aka Broken Record” I have NEVER said a kid should go back to their community to play @ their public school !! I am all for private schools if the parents & kid wants to go. I am only against SOME cocky ILH fans that think their above all public schools and brag about smashing them, like STL Academy Football and their recruiting on every island! Check your facts and read posts #26! Like I said Before, the Iolani parent told me to my face

??? you mean Go Figure, etc. I never used the word “scholarship” as you have incorrectly stated. Name 1 starting Iolani Varsity player who is not paying full tuition. Perhaps you should take your foot out of your okole and stop with the “recruiting” excuses. If you know “an Iolani Varsity Basketball Player” who’s “not paying full tuition” as you claim, then you should know enough about the program to know that they don’t recruit and that Dean picks athletes who possess the highest academic standards of all Iolani sports…and who can shoot (now that the Hoglands are gone). Please consider the effects your anti-ILH comments have on these kids and their families and be the voice of reason instead of acrimony. If all of the ILH kids went back to their respective OIA schools as you have suggested on countless prior occasions, then many of the OIA kids wouldn’t even have a chance to participate in sports at all. The fact that there is a private school league means that the OIA can service more students with their very limited resources and it allows greater participation overall. The friendly banter between public and private schools is totally cool but the repeatedly over exaggerated “recruiting excuse” is false and misleading. You take care my brother.

‘Iolani doesn’t recruit? Load of crock. They may not have any current kids but in years past they have recruited for both boys and girls basketball teams. I have a relative who was paying ball at MidPac she was courted by Iolani to transfer there based off of her basketball and she did. If facts wants to look the other way then whatever but their 11 stae titles didnt come by handing out flyers to the kids at chess and speech and debate team meetings.

@Broken Spoke “aka” Broken Dreams”.
Learn the dictionary meaning of “Recruit” before putting your foot in your mouth.
You can Recruit someone without giving them a scholarship at all!
But like I said before there are Iolani basketball players that don’t pay full tuition because of their athletic abilities; that’s a fact cause I know one of the parents who was swayed “recruited” to enroll his kid without paying full tuition!!
Sorry to start your day off on the wrong foot but have a nice day.

Not one of Iolani’s starters or players were recruited for basketball. Lee, Wheeler (Sons of Iolani there since Kindergarten) Felix and Bumanglang and Molina since 6th grade. That fictions Iolani recruiter must’ve had some eye for talent 13 years ago??? Many of the bench players also been at Iolani since K or 6th grade (first 2 admission grades) and most of their parents struggle to pay the entire $25,600 per year. Just eat it, ??? is totally full of sh!t as usual… and an idiot.

@??? I admitted I was wrong but not that you were right. For all their shortcomings this team still finished 500 and had 3 ILH wins which is 3 more than you thought. Seems I struck a nerve. I still believe you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground and from reading past threads seems that most others feel the same way.
