JJ and UH, Carmona to Transfer, Lelie News, Etc

A mediator will hear the dispute between June Jones and UH over the $400k penalty UH says JJ owes for breaking his contract when he left for SMU. If mediation doesn't work, it'll go to "final and binding arbitration."

======

Stephen Tsai writes that Camron Carmona will be leaving UH to transfer to a Division II or III school. Tsai also has some updates on Warrior QBs -- Kiran Kepo‘o and Bryce Kalauokaaea will not be in fall camp, but will rejoin the team August 25th. Bryant Moniz is expected to join the team after playing at Fresno City College last year. And Shane Austin's recovery from a broken foot is going well.

UPDATE: Tsai has updated his post with photos of Greg Alexander, Brent Rausch, Mike Tinoco and Inoke Funaki.

======

The Instant 49ers blog talks about Ashley Lelie's chance to break out (or at least play) in 2008.
--Ashley Lelie spent his redshirt season re-learning the wide receiver position with WR coach Jerry Sullivan. Lelie, a low-key individual, was clearly frustrated. But at the end of the year, he said he thought he was vastly improved. (Sullivan said the same thing.) Lelie appears to be on the radar screen, so he'll get a chance to emerge in a crowded receiving corps that includes Bryant Johnson, Isaac Bruce, Arnaz Battle, Jason Hill and Josh Morgan.
The Niners Nation blog has a poll asking where Lelie will end up on the depth chart.

    Tombo, good stuff.

    I am glad to hear Matsui is going to work on the JJ termination of contract dispute. He is one of the best mediators in the nation. He loves UH. He bleeds green and black. I am confident Matsui will get a fair settlement. I hope the money goes to Na Koa.

    Good to hear from WW. Aloha WW.

    Never mind. I rechecked and it was posted on March 20, 2008. Wow what a mistake--sorry. No wonder it looked familiar.

    thanks for the link anyway anonymous, much appreciated.

    how's it going kb -- would be cool if JJ could pay it all to na koa if it's decided against him. or maybe he has something like that in mind, some sort of proposal, which is why he wants to have this mediation to meet face to face and all that. i can dream.

    good to hear you keeping busy, ww.
