Stephen Tsai writes about the players moving into the dance studios.

The first-year Warriors checked into training camp Tuesday, and the remainder of those on the 105-player roster reported by yesterday afternoon.

In what started as a cost-cutting move that eventually became a training-camp tradition, the Warriors stay in two dance studios on the second floor of the UH athletic complex. The locker room is a floor below; an L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is 20 yards away.

"Five-star hotel," mused Jake Heun, a senior middle linebacker.

And Brian McInnis writes that Leroy Lutu Jr. will join the UH football team.

Big things could eventually be expected of the 6-foot-3, 200-pound former prep star at Mercer Island (Wash.) High. After redshirting, he'll have two years to play two seasons.

"We're extremely excited about his athleticism, his bloodline, his potential," Miano said. "We're very excited that Coach Arnold allowed that to happen. You look at his vertical jump, close to 40 inches, and you look at his size ... he's a prototype NFL type of safety. We have a hard time finding guys that big, strong, fast."

Miano added it's to be determined whether Lutu will play free or strong safety, or even linebacker if he got bigger.
