First Practice

Stephen Tsai has a quick summary of the Warriors' first practice of training camp on The Warrior Beat. He writes that walk-ons Keoni Steinhoff and Rustin Saole received scholarships. Congratulations to both of them. Tsai also writes that Leon Wright-Jackson practiced, but didn't run 220s, Ryan Grice-Mullins returned punts, and more. Lot more info to follow I'm sure.

UPDATE: An article from The Advertiser states that Jake Ingram also received a scholarship. Right on.

And Dave Reardon writes that linebacker Adam Leonard was held out of practice today as a precautionary measure.

Junior linebacker Adam Leonard, who led Hawaii with 114 tackles last season, was held out of the Warriors' first practice today which was comprised of a set of 10 220-yard runs designed to test conditioning.

Leonard underwent arthroscopic surgery in June to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. He remained home in Seattle to rehab the knee, and arrived in Hawaii last night to report for fall camp.

"I'm in the training room right now," Leonard said in a phone conversation with the Star-Bulletin this afternoon. "It's just a precautionary thing and my knee should be OK. I'll be practicing soon."

Let's hope he can start practicing soon. He's a very important part of the Warrior defense. Godspeed, Manimal!

UPDATE 2: The Advertiser has a video shot by Leila Wai. It includes interviews with Mike Lafaele, Brad Kalilimoku and Colt Brennan, along with footage of the players running the 220s.
