Recruiting Weekend

A lot of prospects are visiting UH this weekend. Among them is Kaniela Tuipolotu, a highly regarded/recruited defensive lineman from Kahuku, as well as Robert Marve, a highly regarded/recruited QB from Plant HS in Florida. In a sidebar to a Paul Honda local recruiting story, Dave Reardon discusses them.

The highest profile player among them is Plant quarterback Robert Marve, who is the second coming of Brett Favre or Drew Brees, depending on what message board you read. Also, depending on your "source," Marve is either A) leaning toward Miami, but seriously considering UH, B) trying to get his teammates offers from the Warriors, or C) merely taking a vacation in Hawaii with his buds. Based on Marve's published comments, and not second or third hand anonymous cyber-babble, he is here with an open mind, although the Hurricanes have the lead.

Kahuku DT Kaniela Tuipulotu is the local star of the current visitors. Things got tougher for UH with him as USC started to sniff around late last week.

Stephen Tsai's Warrior Beat post from today discusses Marve as well.

It's crazy to imagine, but the Warriors actually have a chance — not the greatest, but a chance — at landing quarterback Robert Marve of Plant High.
Miami, which hosted Marve last weekend, has the lead, of course. But people familiar with the situation said Marve, who was named Florida's Mr. Football, is intrigued with the Warriors' prolific four-wide passing offense. Miami's head coach is a former defensive coordinator.
Also, Marve's mother is on the trip, and UH historically does well when parents accompany their sons.
Marve probably won't announce a decision for another week.

Sounds like things are going well. Read the rest of Stephen's post for an aspect of the UH recruiting process. Good luck to the coaches and players, hopefully there's some good news for Warrior fans this week!
