Partial Qualifying
Stanford Leti, a 2005 Moanalua grad, will enroll at UH as a partial qualifier this year, meaning he can't play until next year. Quinton Tang, who along with Leti, verbally committed to Hawaii in December, will enroll in Palomar College in California, hopefully coming back to UH when he gets enough credits. Perhaps this will free up a couple scholarships for some grayshirts? Or maybe Ian Sample? In the same article, Stephen Tsai writes that if Ian Sample is granted a medical exemption to play this year, he won't be on scholarship, partly because of the NCAA APR rule, which took away 5 UH football scholarships due to collective academic underachievement and/or players leaving the team. Speaking of which, receiver Adam Linwood is leaving the team, but I'm not sure if it will affect the APR since he's a walkon as opposed to a scholarship player. Although in the article it says that he's leaving because it's too expensive to live in Hawaii, so maybe he can be put one of the freed up scholarships? But then again, we have like 20 receivers who could start, so maybe he can't get a scholarship. The logistics coaches must deal with. Good luck to Adam.
