Weekend in Review

Some news (mostly from Stephen Tsai) from the past few days.

Long snapper news: Luke Ingram is expected to join the team in the fall while Chad Preacher is expected to transfer.

Long-snapper Luke Ingram (Jake's brother) e-mailed to say he should be good to go this fall. That's good news for the Warriors, who need a successor to Jake. Chad Preacher, an aspiring long-snapper, is not on the 105-player roster for training camp and is seeking to transfer.

Jason Kaneshiro writes that Justin Clapp plans to walk-on with the Warriors.

Justin Clapp, the son of UH associate athletic director Carl Clapp, plans to walk on with the Warriors this fall.
Justin Clapp (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) played receiver and defensive back at De La Salle in Concord, Calif.
Justin stayed in California after Carl left St. Mary’s to take the job at UH and lived with the family of one of his teammates while finishing school at De La Salle.

Tsai writes about an upcoming fundraiser to be headlined by some star athletes.

Ray Lewis, Wes Welker, Colt Brennan, Davone Bess, David Veikune and Jake Ingram are among the football players who will attend a July 8 fundraiser that will benefit the Warrior football clinics and camps. Further details to come.

Tsai also writes that linebacker Jacob Barit is seeking to transfer to UH this summer.

Receiver Rick Taylor has decided to not play football this season to focus on his studies.

It's sad to hear that slotback Rick Taylor has decided to not play football this coming season.
Taylor, a very good student, will focus on his studies. He needs 21 credits to earn a bachelor's degree.
Taylor will remain on scholarship.

Safety Spencer Smith will be today's guest on The Warrior Beat Show, which I believe starts at noon HST.

And, completely off-topic, a company in Japan is printing horror stories on toilet paper.

Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story "Ring," which has been made into movies in both Japan and Hollywood.

"Drop," set in a public restroom, takes up about three feet (90 centimeters) of a roll and can be read in just a few minutes, according to the manufacturer, Hayashi Paper.

The company promotes the toilet paper, which will sell for 210 yen ($2.20) a roll, as "a horror experience in the toilet."

It'll scare the crap out of you! *ba dum tsss*
