Stephen Tsai writes that defensive lineman Bo Montgomery will be transferring to UH.

Bo Montgomery, a 2005 graduate of Kealakehe High School, has finalized arrangements to transfer from Weber State.

"I've always wanted to play for UH," said Montgomery, who was born in Colorado but raised in Kona.

...

"Ever since high school, this is where I wanted to be," Montgomery said. "I feel I have more to offer now that I've got a solid foundation of collegiate football. It should be a lot of fun."

Tsai writes that he'll have to redshirt this season, and then will have two years to play two. Congratulations and welcome to Bo!

Dave Reardon has a cornucopia of stories packed into one article. He writes that Jason Ferguson, who retired from football due to his multiple knee surgeries, continues to work out with the team.

"Hey you're still going to see a lot of me," the upbeat Ferguson said. "I'm still going to be around."

He spends his free time writing and performing rap and preparing for a future in coaching.

"One door closes, two open," Ferguson said. "I'm making the best of what happened."

Perhaps a future UH receivers coach? Watch out, Ron Lee!

And highly-regarded running back Keola Antolin may still be considering UH despite giving a verbal to Arizona.

...the speedy (4.47 in the 40) senior-to-be took an unofficial visit at UH, and said "Hawaii is looking pretty good right now."

And Reardon talks to incoming walk-on QB Jake Santos

Santos said Hawaii was always his planned destination.

"Our offense was similar, we threw the ball 40 times a game back in high school. This is where I wanted to go coming out of high school," said the 6-foot, 200-pound Santos, who once threw a CIF-record eight touchdowns in a game. "This is the only school I stayed in contact with. I called them up and they said come on out."

Right on.

Finally, Kalani Simpson writes that K. Mark Takai is still on the case.

Turns out he's still going over the budget. In a meeting with the Star-Bulletin's editorial board he passed out a spreadsheet filled with terms like accruals and assets and payables and nonexpendable. There were asterisks. I couldn't read it.

Yesterday, Takai called a number of his original questions "still unresolved." He's still talking about "red flags."

He said, "We've asked them (UH) to come back and help us understand it a little bit."

He said that he just heard yesterday afternoon that Rep. Jerry Chang had received some information from UH, which was good, because apparently that morning Takai had been on the radio saying he hadn't seen anything yet.

Probably just a coincidence.

Hehe. Keep on em!
