Looking Ahead

Now that recruiting season is pretty much over, Jason Kaneshiro talks to recruiting coordinator Tony Tuioti about what comes next.

"It brings this season to a close, and come Monday we'll start turning our attention to 2011 recruiting and spring ball," Tuioti said.

Tuioti said the coaches have already identified some of next year's top local prospects, and the next major push will come in mid-April with the program's annual junior day.

As for the mainland, Tuioti said the coaches, "want to look at Washington, California, Las Vegas, Utah, and be able to keep that pipeline we have to Texas and Florida."

For now, with the 2010 class nearly complete, the next date circled on the calendar is March 31, the opening day of spring practice.

Two of the newcomers are already in school and will compete in the spring, while much of the class is expected to check in for summer school, with a few delaying their enrollment until January as grayshirts.
