MilzFinest sounds twisted. Win at all cost. He probably cheered for Danny Almante when N.Y. won the LL World Series. Aren’t you concerned about the integrity of the game or the safety of all players.

Forcing children to repeat a grade or two in order to gain an advantage in sports is nothing less than cheating. It also hurts the man-children in the long term while their potential and progress can be misleading and difficult to assess. I guess that’s why they don’t let 4 year olds race in the Kentucky Derby.

It sounds like MilzFinest is a proud papa of a 16 year old freshman. By the way, Cheven Cordeiro is as old as Tua. I guess the ends justifies the means. Education First my friend.

Saying that age doesn’t matter in 9th grade is just ignorant MilzCop. In college or above everyone has fully matured but comparing a 14 year old to a 15 or 16 year old in 9th grade is huge. If they’re the real deal, then why were they held back (as To Da Hale suggests).? Honestly, would you be as impressed with either QB if they were juniors? Doubt it. Oh yea, comparing these guys to Tua is bhhaawaaaahah. No can RRFL.

MilzFinsest. During the 1988 Vice Presidential debate, Republican Senator Dan Quayle began comparing himself to former President, John F. Kennedy and Lloyd Bentsen responded by famously saying “Senator you’re no Jack Kennedy”. Similarly, these 2 “young” QBs are no Tua Tagovailoa”. Stop the hype and catch up with the rest of the students who were born in 2002 before its too late!

Does it matter how old these Quarterbacks are or if they are legit 9th graders? Who cares? Did you know Tua is really older than Jalen Hurts by 6 months? Yet he was presented to be the under dog younger QB. That is not the case. He was older than Jalen Hurts himself. He was really the real deal waiting for his turn. The point is who cares how old they are. If they got talent, like Tua and other Qbs from Hawai’i, they got that game. And they real beasts. Cheer them on regardless. Out of all the QBs out in Alabama Tua is the oldest one. So does that mean Tua is a hype? Yeah right, No Way. He is the real deal and one of the best in college ball. No doubt about that. So who care what the real age is. The real Question is can they ball? And the Answer is Yes!

Farrington’s future will be in the hands of QB Rjay Tagataese and as well as their new coaching staff which struggled in their first year. Although Farrington had a tough season, they have alot of potential to bounce back next year. The coaches just got instill the pride and tradition in Kalihi football. Coach Diaz and Espinda is looking down from above for a great season next year. Go GOVs!

Well I hope that these two young men do well regardless of how old they are now. I’m impressed with their poise and composure in the face of good defensive play. Campbell won’t get pass Mililani.

Too many “9th” grade QBs getting hyped pre-maturely by their parents and unscrupulous coaches who seem to be more concerned about their QB breaking meaningless statistical records and getting scholarship offers without any concern for their social development or the team’s chemistry. The bigger farce, however, is the fact that many of these “phenoms” are held back 1 or 2 years or like STL up and coming 8th grade QB (3 years) and their propensity to improve is stagnated by the fact that they’ve actually peaked in 9th or 10th grade. The stigma of being held back is not worth it in my view. Class reunions will be particularly uncomfortable when all of their classmates are 28 at their 10th year reunion but these “phenoms” will have already turned 30. What’s up with that?

??? Muff N Blue that was good, painful but funny. Why do you assume that every good player in the ILH is on scholarship or financial aid. That’s totally false. Many good ILH players come from families who have the financial ability to pay their full tuition. Now if you’re hating on these players for having $$$ then that’s a whole other discussion. You make some good points on Punahou’s prior studs though and I actually recall that Buckner (who was very uncoordinated when he was in intermediate) attended STL briefly then Kale poached him. You seem to gloss over the fact that many OIA teams offer these ILH players something that Punahou and STL can’t offer…..and that’s playing time (Gabriel left Punahou bc it was apparent that he couldn’t beat out Nick Kapule etal). And make no mistake, the ILH poaches from within as well. But to equate what Punahou does to all other ILH schools is just unfair. STL almost closed down 4 years ago for financial reasons and most if not all players pay full price of their tuition while only a handful receive a partial scholarship that amounts to less than $2,500 per year (Verify with Russell Valente at STL). Iolani and Mid-Pac could care less whether the kid is a great athlete . Their admission is predicated on their academic ability to succeed in the classroom. So many OIA schools actually benefit from the Iolani and Mid-Pac academic casualties. Look at Kalaheo’s basketball championship teams who benefitted from so many ILH kids who fell through the academic cracks. Punahou’s “Bridge Program” supports your theory (at least academically). Did you get financial aid when you attended private school?
