By Hawaii Prep World on January 25, 2016

The University of Hawaii received a big time commitment on Monday when Kahuku defensive back Keala Santiago announced on Twitter he will stay home for college.

By Nick Abramo on January 25, 2016

Saint Louis offensive lineman Nate Herbig is probably going to wait until the Feb. 3 signing day to choose which school he will commit to. On Monday, Herbig told Hawaii Prep World that it’s between two schools — Cal and Stanford. He recently visited both campuses. “I have a lot to think about,” Herbig said. “Cal is going in the right direction and they’re gonna be good. It’s hard to compete with Stanford, in the top three (No. 3 in the […]

Pearl City’s Cooper wants to uphold family legacy

By Nick Abramo on January 24, 2016

Baylen Cooper believes this season is no-pressure time. Last season, he was filled with pressure. The Pearl City wrestler, now a senior, was told all last season that he needed to do what his brothers did for so long — win a state title or place at the state meet. The list is long: >> 2014: Blake Cooper wins state championship at 160 pounds >> 2013: Blake Cooper wins state championship at 152 >> 2012: Blake Cooper wins state championship […]

By Nick Abramo on January 24, 2016

Ever heard of a 97-pound sophomore captain? In anything? Well, Roosevelt’s Menjam Tamang is one of the Rough Riders’ wrestling captains and she’s making waves in the 97-pound class. She’s off to a fast start this season, winning the Officials meet at Leilehua and following that up with a victory in the Paani Challenge at Punahou.

As Oregon’s OC, UCF’s Frost recruited Milton

By Nick Abramo on January 23, 2016

Think about this: it wasn’t out of the blue that McKenzie Milton decided to commit to the University of Central Florida. He will be playing for Scott Frost, the new head coach for the Knights who spent the last three seasons as the Oregon offensive coordinator. Makes a lot more sense now. Frost will be installing the Oregon style of spread offense at UCF. He worked with Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, who is now with the Tennessee Titans and […]
