So much for a quiet Sunday morning. Alabama broke the calm of an early, sunny Honolulu morning by making a football scholarship offer to Kaiser junior Michael Eletise. Alabama is now the 41st BCS program to make a scholarship promise to the 6-foot-4, 305-pound offensive lineman. He shared the news on Twitter just before starting the final day of the GPA Maximum Exposure Camp at the University of Hawaii’s Clarence T.C. Ching Field. Nearly 40 colleges and 80 coaches are […]
The final day of the GPA Maximum Exposure Camp is here. Today’s session will end at noon. I got the feeling from organizers that they would’ve loved slightly longer hours on Saturday and today. My No. 1 wish is OL vs. DL 1-on-1s. I hear there will be 1-on-1 pass pro work. Woohoooo! 1:45 p.m. Camp is pau. A lot of great fun watching so many of the state’s top players – and up-and-coming youngsters- in a very competitive environment. […]
Rocky Savea has enough on his mind as a freshman in high school. Running the beach at 6 a.m. Lifting weights. Hitting the books. But his life took a great jolt — in a good way — when Oregon State offered him a scholarship on May 21. Now, Texas Tech is showing more than a little interest in the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Kapolei linebacker. A Red Raiders assistant coach was on campus recently to scout talent. By today, Savea’s father, Toma, […]
It’s taken some time for recruiters to take notice, but Nate Herbig seems to be on a roll now. The 6-foot-4, 320-pound Saint Louis junior received football scholarship offers from Hawaii and UNLV today as he plowed opponents during run-blocking challenges at the GPA Maximum Exposure Camp at Clarence T.C. Ching Field. Roughly 80 coaches from nearly 40 colleges are present at the event on the UH campus. “I did well today,” he texted on Saturday night after a scorching-hot, […]
The 400 plus players here at UH endured temperatures near 90 degrees this morning on the second day of the GPA Maximum Exposure Camp. Lunch break lasted until 2 p.m., wisely so. 2:35 p.m. The last 30 minutes were all about special teams, particularly gunners and punt return blocking. No linemen. Guest speaker from Towson State now up. Last night’s speakers included former UH player Keith Bhonapha, who is now a coach at Washington State. Spoke eloquently about the special […]
It took some time, but Louisiana State University has come around on Kaiser offensive lineman Michael Eletise. The Tigers made the 6-foot-4, 305-pound junior a scholarship offer on Saturday.
