Kauwalu and Lesu Commit

Stephen Tsai writes that Waianae linebacker George Kauwalu and Farrington receiver/safety Elijah Lesu have committed to the Warriors.
Kauwalu, who is 6 feet 1 and 210 pounds, can run 40 yards in 4.6 seconds. He also is a track sprinter. He said he has been a UH fan for several years.

"I always wanted to play for Hawai'i," Kauwalu said. "That was my plan."

Wai'anae defensive coordinator Jason Hussey said Kauwalu is "one of the best I've ever coached. He's very good in pass coverage. He's very instinctive, very intelligent. He's not just a great player, he's a great person."

...

Lesu was named to The Advertiser's first team as an all-purpose player. He also was the O'ahu Interscholastic Association's 2006 Offensive Player of the Year.

"I wanted to stay home and play in front of my family," said Lesu, who likely will compete at safety for the Warriors.
Right on! Sounds like UH got two more great players. Congratulations to George and Elijah!

On yesterday's Warrior Beat post, Stephen Tsai had a post about Jerry Glanville, who sounds like he's sticking around!
In as vague a way as possible, Jerry Glanville appears set on returning for a third year as UH's defensive coordinator.
'You're there until you're not there," said Glanville, who's still "there."
Glanville said the plans for spring practice and training camp are to rebuild the aggressive attitude on defense.
"The one thing I've learned is you don't start up where you left off," Glanville said. "By the end of last year, we hustled more than any team in America. That's not guaranteed when you go into spring (practice). If you think that, you might end up like (last year's Super Bowl champion) Pittsburgh Steelers — out of the playoffs this year."
Fantastic! BTW, there are 259 comments on that post as of right now. Holy crap.

And finally, looks like you can cross Wisconsin off the list of possible 2007 opponents.
Meanwhile, a UW official confirmed officials from Hawaii recently inquired about scheduling a game with the Badgers next season in Hawaii.

Hawaii was scheduled to host Michigan State but that game fell through and UW still has an open date for 2007.

According to associate athletic director Vince Sweeney, UW officials declined the offer. The Badgers already play at Nevada-Las Vegas next season, a popular trip, and are scheduled to play at Hawaii in 2009.
Good to hear UH is going after some great teams. Can't wait for the full schedule to be announced!
