QB Greg Alexander Commits to UH
...and probably already signed his letter of intent. From Eric Branch of The Press Democrat:
UPDATE: Tsai writes that Alexander has signed and faxed his LOI.
A week ago, Greg Alexander was a 6-foot-5, 240-pound quarterback with a rocket right arm, a laundry list of accolades and one nagging question: Did anyone care?
A week later, Alexander's credentials haven't changed, but his fortunes have.
Alexander, a Piner High graduate and the holder of every major passing record at Santa Rosa Junior College, will sign a national letter of intent today with the University of Hawaii on National Signing Day.
...in mid-January, Hawaii assistant coach Ron Lee called SRJC coach Keith Simons to inquire about Bear Cubs wide receiver Aubrey Quarles. In passing, Lee asked where Alexander was playing next year.Congratulations and welcome to Greg!
When Simons explained Alexander's situation, Hawaii became interested. It didn't hurt that Jones' replacement, Greg McMackin, had recently hired Nick Rolovich as his quarterbacks coach. Rolovich, a Novato native, had been an assistant the past two years at City College of San Francisco, which competes against SRJC in the NorCal Conference.
UPDATE: Tsai writes that Alexander has signed and faxed his LOI.
Greg Alexander, a quarterback from Santa Rosa (Calif.) Junior College today signed a letter of intent with UH.UPDATE 2: Tsai updated his blog with a list of the players who signed LOIs with UH today.
"I signed it about 10 minutes ago, and faxed it," said Alexander, who is 6 feet 5 and 240 pounds.
Alexander said he will earn his associate degree in May, then move to Hawai‘i. He will have two years to play two seasons.
Alexander said he was first contacted by UH this past Saturday. He verbally committed Sunday. He said he will visit UH beginning Friday.

We lost Kama Bailey. Looks like we'll be playing against him since he signed with Idaho.
Found the info on Scout.com.

I don't think he signed yet, maybe several hours from now per the Advertiser article at:
http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Feb/06/br/br6798421035.html
Branch told The Advertiser that Alexander is expected to sign at 2:30 p.m. Pacific time (12:30 p.m. Hawai'i time).

Forget about my last post above--apparently he did just sign. At least sounds like good alternatives.

thanks warriorx. kinda wish we got kama too, but guess we'll be seeing him play against UH the next four years.
fuzzylogic, he sounds like a great pickup. four-star player and everything (not that stars really matter). his stats are pretty amazing too (not that stats really matter)
