Forgot to addd…6’1″, 180 in 8th grade? That’s a lot of palusami. Kid’s probably still growing too.

Some of these kids want to go to schools like Bishop Gorman. Higher profile, more recognition, hopefully a scholie waiting for them at the end of their high school days.

Puts a lot of pressure on their parents to let their kids go out of state. Seems selfish.

I don’t understand the value of transfering, moving away from home, for high school. It’s not as if Kahuku and the rest of Hawaii are not on the map, coaches coming in droves.

St. Louis doing the same thing, by going to neighbor islands and recruiting kids.
Rumors are they got the top safety in the state in that kid from Konawaena.
I know they on Maui trying to get one of the top lineman from Baldwin.

I wonder if Bishop Gorman is offering good paying jobs to the parents of the kids they recruit to play football for them. Going over state lines to recrut athletes is excessive, winning at all costs. I think I read somewhere that Bishop Gorman is not allowed to compete in Nevada high school games because of their excessive recruiting so they have to go out of state to play their games. Same thing we should have done to St Louis from 1986 to 2000. I read one of Bishop Gorman’s recruits came back to the islands and is now on St Louis’ roster. You should have to fight hard to win a state championship. They should not come easy. St Louis would have Waianae down 35-0 at the half of their Prep Bowl games.
