Lelie, Manu, QBs, Spain, Chimara, Etc.

Stephen Tsai profiles Ashley Lelie, who will be a student manager for the Warriors this season.

"Finishing my degree is the main thing," said Lelie, who relinquished his senior season to apply for the 2002 NFL draft. "I have a year left. If I can take care of a couple of incompletes, it will be less than that. But it will be good to be around football again. I was starting to miss it."

As a student manager, Lelie will receive a tuition waiver and be allowed to offer advice to the receivers.

"I definitely want to help the team out," Lelie said.

Tsai has a bunch of notes on the Warrior Beat blog, including great news regarding Veni Manu:

Also, defensive end Veni Manu, who signed in February 2009, apparently has earned enough college credits to play for the Warriors this season. He attended orientation sessions.

Yesterday, Tsai wrote that six QBs will be invited to fall camp.

Quarterback Corey Nielsen is not on the Warriors’ preliminary training-camp roster.

Instead, he will join the team Aug. 23, the first day of UH’s fall semester, when the training-camp roster may expand from 105 players.

Bryant Moniz, Shane Austin, Brent Rausch, David Graves, Cayman Shutter and Kevin Spain are the quarterbacks on the training-camp roster.

Tsai profiles Spain and mentioned a cornerback who is also invited to fall camp.

One of the surprises of unsupervised workouts is Davidson Chimara, a cornerback from Miami.

Chimara is 5 feeet 9, 185 pounds, and both quick and physical. He has been invited to the Warriors’ training camp.

And finally, WAC football officials will be able to view replays in HD.

The University of Hawaii Warrior games will start using a high-definition instant replay system created by XOS Digital Inc. during the upcoming football season.

The Western Athletic Conference and its nine member schools will use technology licensed by XOS Digital, an Orlando, Fla.-based content management solutions and digital media services company.

The new format will allow WAC officials a clearer, real-time view of a play in question that is more precise than what fans see at home.
