Le'Marcus / McKnight / Samson
Dave Reardon catches up with incoming safety Le'Marcus Gibson.
======
And Dennis McKnight has a good story up at Warriors' Haka about how Kynan Forney owes him a motorcycle.
Samson Satele is still getting good buzz in Miami.
And finally, WAC commissioner Karl Benson had his contract extended through 2010.
"I've been lifting in the morning and running in the afternoon when the sun goes down," said Gibson, who reports that the temperature has been nearing 100 degrees recently in Gulfport.The article also has snippets of news about Bryce Kalauokaaea, Kevin Konrath, and ESPN's Ivan Maisel, who will be attending the WAC preview next month.
Gibson, who said he is 6 feet tall and 197 pounds, is fully academically qualified for Division I and UH coming out of Harrison Central High School -- where he was in on 142 tackles last season.

During our magical season back in 1999, Kynan (Forney) was a medical red-shirt, so he wasn’t even going to play in the bowl game. We had started allowing him to practice in October, and I quickly told June that he was the best lineman on the team, even though he couldn’t play until the next season. He was a guy that just kept wanting to get better, and he would do anything to get better, even if it meant knocking on my door at 9:30 at night to go watch film.======
Now, when I say ‘watch film,’ you have to remember that he wasn’t practicing with the starters; he was playing on the scout team.
Samson Satele is still getting good buzz in Miami.
Onto the good news...======
Cameron appears to have already hit a home run in second-round center Samson Satele. The former Hawaii standout is versatile enough to play two positions (guard as well) but already appears to have the inside track on becoming the new centerpiece of a revamped offensive line. That's great new for Mueller, because if there has been one overwhelming area of ineptitude for the Dolphins, it is has been the O-line.
And finally, WAC commissioner Karl Benson had his contract extended through 2010.

He has never been pro Hawaii. He cuddles with Boise State and Fresno and states Hawaii does not receive WAC tournaments as our "A.D. does not bid for them" nor do the work like going to Waikiki hotels to secure free lodging for tournaments as the Nevada school does. He should ask Herman Failure to work harder, do his job, and reward Hawaii for being a senior institution in the WAC. Note the WACsports.com website still links with the Tostitos Bowl and not the Hawaii Bowl even though there is no 2007 agreement with that bowl.

well, things could certainly be better. but i think benson has been paying more attention to hawaii recently. after all he did fly all the way to hawaii to testify as a "character witness" during herman's grilling at the legislature, haha. and UH is hosting the 2008 WAC softball and volleyball tournaments as well as the 2009 baseball tourney. so maybe things are improving.
UH definitely should be getting more respect, being the senior member of the WAC. one good thing you can say, at least we don't have the Mountain West's horrible TV contract :D
thanks for stopping by.
