Spikers lead LOI fall signing class

By Paul Honda on November 12, 2014

A dozen volleyball players were among nearly three dozen student-athletes who signed their letters of intent early Wednesday morning at the Elks Lodge in Waikiki. The event, hosted each signing season by Pacific Islands Athletic Alliance (PIAA), featured a multitude of sports for the fall signing period. The 12 volleyball players include UH signee McKenna Granato, who sparked Punahou to the state championship last week. Ten of the 12 spikers are heading to the mainland, including Kamehameha teammates Tiyana Hallums […]

Double the fun: Salanoa-Alo Wily (extended)

By Paul Honda on November 4, 2014

(Below is the extended version of a feature story on Kahuku football player Salanoa-Alo Wily. The slightly shorter version was published in Tuesday’s edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.) Beyond the B-plus grade-point average and the wrecking-ball style of play, he just wanted to come home. Salanoa-Alo Wily is a walking contradiction to some. At 6-foot-1 and 270 pounds, he loves to draw. He hits the books consistently. As a fullback at Kamehameha during his first two seasons of high school, […]

Manu ‘leaning’ toward Oregon

By Nick Abramo on September 22, 2014

Mililani senior defensive tackle Rex Manu confirmed Monday that he is not committed to any school at this point. He was once orally committed to Stanford, but recently de-committed from the Cardinal. There was recent speculation that Manu conmitted to Oregon, but he said that is not the case after Monday’s practice. “I was watching a game with an Oregon hat on (the Ducks’ win over Michigan State on Sept. 5, during a recruiting visit) and somebody took pictures of […]

Cal makes offer to St. Louis WR Kobayashi

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2014

Saint Louis wide receivers get plenty of attention every day from Cal — Coach Cal Lee, that is. As of Friday, however, it was another Cal that took interest in a speedy junior wide receiver for the Crusaders. The University of California at Berkeley made Drew Kobayashi a scholarship offer, his first and probably not his last. Kobayashi’s mother, Resi, confirmed the offer by Cal. Colorado has also shown serious interest, asking for his transcripts this week. Jaisen Sanchez, an […]

Preseason Top Players: Additions, notes

By Paul Honda on August 8, 2014

Beautiful layout by Curtis Murayama in this morning’s Star-Advertiser. I’m not 100 percent into preseason stuff, probably never will be. But the fact is, as fans we love, love, love preseason rankings of teams. We also love to examine the field of players and recognize the best. Especially in football. Here’s what I wanted to add to the lists we published this morning, but it’ll wait until the updates here on Prep World. Additions to “Best of the rest”: WR […]
