Dee, relax and don’t get your panties in a bunch. What did you expect people to say? When anybody wins at anything there is always going to be people talking negative. Grow thicker skin and get use to it because it comes with the territory. And please be honest because we both know none of these transfers came to Mililani for the Outstanding Academics there. Congratulations on winning the OIA Title and best of luck in States.

FYI: “recruiting” entails some sort of compensation ie: salary, tuition, books, meals etc. Last time I checked, attending a great school, being coached by an amazing group of mentors with character and values and surrounding oneself with players of a similar mind and enjoying the support of a close knit community of parents and teachers don’t fall into this category. SO, if people are going to insist on throwing this term around, at least use it in the right context. Public schools have NOTHING to offer than the things I listed above….the intangibles.

Firstly, THANK YOU KK FOR GIVING YOUR INPUT! We all love and miss you hon’…. and with regard to “recruiting”. Unless PUBLIC SCHOOLS have begun to charge tuition and/or giving players cars for playing football, then the term “recruiting” is being thrown around loosely! Hey, if I’m a parent and I am able to send my child to a better school ACADEMICALLY and it requires a GE….guess what guys, I’m damn well gonna and don’t frickin’ cry about it because my son just happened to DEVELOPE into a pretty good football player! Oh, btw….the coaches didn’t even know who my son was until being introduced to him by Dr. Brummel (only a JV freshman at the time). SO, quit making excuses and pointing fingers all the while, speculating about how who and who arrived at such and such school and assuming why… it’s the parents’ decision and none of your business. If attending a great school with high expectations and NO exceptions made for athletes is called recruiting nowadays, then sobeit. So, I guess my son WAS “RECRUITED” BY AN ENGLISH TEACHER WHO FELT THAT HE WOULDN’T MEET HIS FULL POTENTIAL elsewhere AND I guarantee that if his grades weren’t up to par, Dr. Brummel would have denied the GE, period.

@trojan fan hopefully you can understand this-

Mililani=numerous starters from outside of Mililani.

No transfers/GE= 0 championships for Mililani

That is all I’m saying.

@Trojan Fan

What excuses? Is it not true Mililani is loaded with said transfers/GE’s. Not every school on this island have 70% of their starters come in from other communities. I think you meant to say, can’t beat em, transfer, and represent another community.

P19: Mililani is no dynasty! They are a good football team and are coached very well by awesome coaches. The kids are understanding the system that coach Rod York is putting in. I think the coaches is the big reason why kids transfer in. As for Dynasty, then we must all be referring to St. Louis Crusaders!! St. Louis are the Champions of all Champions. Until somebody wins it 14 or 16 years in a row, St. Louis is above all

I’m a Kahuku fan, can’t hate on anyone playing 100% every snap like Padello. The only thing that bugs me, is all this talk of “Mililani dynasty.” Their team is LOADED with weapons but the fact still remains, they would not be where they are without all their transfers, GE’s, etc. No need to drop any names but everyone knows they don’t have that many Samoans living in Mililani lol
