That is highly questionable transfer policies by Kamehameha. Someone in admissions is making big time exceptions that I guarantee aren’t allowed for all students.

KS has a rule in place that allows current students to leave and return the following school year. A student can’t leave and return mid year. When students leave, they are replaced by another student for a full year. So to answer your question; he can return in August of this year.
Yes, I’m pretty sure he didn’t return just for 7 on 7 pylons. You can do pylons from anywhere!! I know the kid really wants to be home, but once again Football is a HUGE ?
We will see what this kid does. But, Ive followed this kid and their Ohana. He is legit, and he will only get better and better.

I dont think he had to enroll into Kahuku to play with the 7v7 team.
To your point tho, I am sure there are many other young Hawaiians on the wait list that would be happy to take his place on the Hill.
Is he afforded the chance to return?
That is a really good conversation to have.

OK wait, so if I follow this story correctly, this kid was at Kamehameha first, then transferred to Wasatch in Utah to play football, then came back to Hawaii right after the football season to enroll at Kahuku online so he could travel with this 7v7 team, and his plan is to go back to Kamehameha next school year?

I can see how that is working out great for him for football, but that’s still a little messed up for school. I would think Kamehameha would have something to say and maybe not be so happy to just allow kids to jump back and forth from their campus when so many others are waiting to get accepted in.

not to mention, qbs dont have happy feet in 7v7, but its a different thing to read your progression with a line in your face.

I really miss HS football.

I’ve seen the pylon get some kids getting whacked but definitely QBs have only the clock to worry about which is a huge difference.

a lot of 7-7 Pylon teams consist of kids from different schools playing together like an all star team, so when they go back to their regular 11 on 11 team they don’t look as good.
There will always be kids that look great in 7-7 but when they put on the pads they look totally different. Why? They know they are not getting SMASHED on a crossing route over the middle, the QB knows he’s not getting HAMMERED from a DE from his backside/blindside or CRUSHED in his chest from a DT right up the A gap. Just an example.

You’re right about that.

BTw, Kahuku got a QB?
Ive heard so much.
This kid left RRville to go to Millville because he not getting any love, but actually left Nevada cuz he wasnt getting love there.
This kid left Millville to go to RRville because the HC told him he’ll never ever play QB again as long as he is the HC.
Then talk of kids going to the mainland for opportunities.

Gosh so much drama. Not to mention, one kid at Pac-5, then going to Radford now is at Millville. Actually, there have been many transfers into Millville recently. Hopefully it pays off.

AND a serious question, How do you transfer your success in 7 on 7 to actual football?
There are several community teams on social media that look solid, but, not so solid when they play 11 v 11.

This kid is only getting bigger & better; the only downfall is he will Never win a championship @ Kamehameha as long as the Lee’s are coaching @ St. Louis!
His chances to win a championship are way better playing for Kahuku; even if he doesn’t win a state title, he’s almost guaranteed an OIA title. Sad but True..
Good luck & stay healthy.
