Yes!!!!!! Paipai Falemalu? I thought he was going to the PAC 10. This is huge for UH. Props to the UH coaching staff for keeping an outstanding football player in the state to play for the home team.

Congratulations and welcome to Paipai and Alema! They be great, and Hawaii will be great. I know the conditioning program at UH will make those guys into scary HUGE hard hitting defense guys. Awesome job to Mack and crew for walking the walk of really going out to get Hawaii's best to stay home. The Warriors are truly becoming Hawaii's team.
