Hey Billy,
Where is Poki’i Adkins Kupukaa probably the most versatile football player in Hawaii?
Hey you 2020 prospects. Make sure you know what you doing not accepting offers. Only the big babo gums can make schools wait for an answer. If your on the bubble the bubble going pop (The schools dont leave the offer indefinitely they will offer someone else and fill that spot). No be the guy left out with no options in the end because all the scholarships are gone it happens.
If the school you want extends the offer for goodness sakes accept and be grateful its not a game to see who can rack up what offers. You can only say YES to one.
