Kahuku’s Anae in process of making visits

By Nick Abramo on January 24, 2016

It’s possible Kahuku defensive end Bradlee Anae could go where Red Raiders head coach Vavae Tata last worked as an assistant. That’s Vanderbilt in Nashville. Anae, the 6-foot-4, 220-pounder who was a large force in Kahuku’s run to the Division I state championship in 2015, was making his visit at Oregon State on Saturday when Hawaii Prep World contacted him. Last week, Anae took an official visit to Vanderbilt. “Vanderbilt has elite academics and it’s in the SEC and that’s […]

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 […]

New Radford head coach Passos looks ahead

By Nick Abramo on January 22, 2016

Lon Passos had a bit of a chuckle when he was told we at Hawaii Prep World heard he was the new Radford football coach. He knows what he’s in for, and he’s looking forward to it. As outgoing coach Fred Salanoa knew during his 13 years at the helm, it can be an all-consuming task to coach a high school football program. “It’s a bigger job now,” said Passos with a little bit of of a ‘what am I […]

USC and other top colleges watch Tagovailoa

By Nick Abramo on January 22, 2016

Saint Louis quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been practicing for a 7-on-7 passing tournament. Good thing he’s active at this time because some college suitors came to watch him practice over the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. Assistant coaches from USC and UCLA came to the Crusaders’ field on Monday to watch him throw, according to Tua’s father, Galu Tagovailoa. Because he’s still a junior, college coaches aren’t allowed at this time to talk to Tagovailoa or his family directly. […]

By Nick Abramo on January 21, 2016

Darren Hernandez might need a new phone or at least a new phone number. The Kapolei football head coach has been inundated by calls and messages the last two weeks since he announced on TV that June Jones would be joining the Hurricanes as the offensive coordinator for the 2016 season. “It’s been a crazy two weeks. So many people wanted to give well-wishes. I feel like chopped liver,” he joked via telephone Wednesday. So, how did what seemed impossible […]
