Ldub: Your Iolani obsession, mountains of useless facts and information cherry picked to support your rant, and made-up personal quotes from various people is almost entertaining to wade thru.
After trying to read thru Ldub’s angry, jealous ramblings, as the saying goes….
Never get into an argument with an idiot, because from a distance you can’t tell who’s the idiot 🙂

Why cant you talk smack if you win a D2 Championship? Are you the President of the “Talk smack only if you win a D1 State Title” association of OIA schools? Did the kids from Iolani not work hard during summer conditioning and just show up to the stadium that night and receive the D2 Championships? Thats how i know you grad from Kahuku you ounce cause you not thinking before you post.
I posted that, “Any athlete or coach who DOMINATES in their chosen sport is always looking for the next challenge and not making excuses to avoid these challenges.”. That means I dont believe that Iolani is afraid to move up to D1. Because as an Athlete you are always looking for challenges and not running or making excuses to avoid them. The part about Iolani players bragging that they went beat Punahou/St. Louis/Kam in my opinion is true. Go ask any Lelehua Alum/Mckinley Alum/Waianae Alum/Farrington Alum that played Kahuku and beat them and see what they going say and i garuntee 1 million percent they going tell you, ” WE went kick there @$$!!!”.. Thats memories thats why. Now scrape the coconut and stop being irraz already

Recruiter 808, you can’t talk smack, brag, and pound your chest when you win D2 titles in football. That’s like saying you are the 40th best team in the state. Win a D1 title and then talk online sir.

In reply to HI FB Fan. I'm all for open disclosure of financial-aid funding/assistance for student-athletes at all private schools. This will never happen, but I'd be for it. There are many private schools offering aid, including more than one in Division II. No surprise. But open disclosure would perhaps lead to more sensible classification criteria, and maybe to having three divisions in the HHSAA instead of just two.

Mr Honda loves compromises, so how about this one: let Iolani keep on playing D2 but stop recruiting? Timmy Chang’s got something interesting to say about the myth that Iolani does not recruit (being that they tried to take him out of St. Louis for football AND basketball).

Recruiter808, your arrogance never ceases to amaze me. Iolani winning those “championships” is tantamount to an NFL team playing college teams and going undefeated against them.

Who gives a rats@$$ if they recruit or not? The fact of the matter is IOLANI WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS! They dont just win a State Championship, they win CHAMPIONSHIPS. Thats ships with an S. That means they DOMINATE THIER DIVISION . Any athlete or coach who DOMINATES in their chosen sport is always looking for the next challenge not making excuses to avoid these challenges. The players will only get better, the program will only get stronger and the memories they will make will last forever. Go ask any Iolani Alum who was on the team that beat Punahou/St. Louis/Kam. School and I bet they will tell you,” Sole they thought they was big and bad but we went kick their @$$”……

If Iolani does not recruit then Lennay Kekua is a REAL PERSON! Stop denying it or complaining when somebody calls them out on it!

Ldub Twenty comments are ridiculous, out of hand, and not civil.

Can I just stop the rumor about Iolani recruiting football players? They used to recruit in the Eddie Hamada days but not now. The rest maybe true but personally spoke with Iolani’s star player’s parents of this last year and all of them pay tuition from $10k to full price. If they are not paying tuition, some parents work full time at Iolani to get free admission for one child only. Iolani Football should recruit but within the last five years Iolani does NOT recruit football players. True story….
