Wednesday recruiting update

By Billy Hull on August 17, 2016

Hawaii High School Football Recruiting Tracker A couple of recruiting tidbits. Waianae’s Kanai Mauga, a junior defensive end listed at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, told me Sunday that he has received a scholarship offer from Oregon State. Mauga was a beast against Kapolei last Saturday. He completely blew up the right tackle blocking him on the Hurricanes’ first two passing plays and was then double-teamed for most of the game. He had a tipped pass at the line and also got […]

Tagovailoa is back at practice + VIDEO

By Nick Abramo on August 16, 2016

Two of the main characters in what turned out to be a mini drama on Monday were absolutely correct: Tua Tagovailoa was at practice Tuesday, just as his dad, Galu Tagovailoa, and his head coach, Cal Lee, said he would be. There was a panic set in motion Monday, when Tagovailoa tweeted, “Farewell to the Lou.” Many people took it to mean the Saint Louis star quarterback with a full scholarship offer to Alabama was leaving the Crusaders. It was […]

UPDATE: Tua tweets: ‘Brothers are forever’

By Nick Abramo on August 15, 2016

Twitter is a funny bird. It’s a world where it’s hard to tell what’s true and what’s not. Tua Tagovailoa tweeted “Farewell to the Lou” today. Some people took that to mean that the star quarterback who has committed to play for Alabama in 2017 is leaving Saint Louis now. That is NOT TRUE, according to Galu Tagovailoa, his father, who told Hawaii Prep World early Monday evening that Tua will remain as the quarterback of the Crusaders. Galu said […]
