We have renewed our focus on the Aloha State in recent years and it could pay off in a big way for the 2010 class. The state is absolutely stacked with Division 1 prospects this year, and CU has made a favorable impression on many already. Here are some names to remember:
Micah Hatchie-OT who has offers from most of the Pac-10. Has the frame to put on weight once he hits a college campus. Hard to tell where he leans at this point.
Kaiwi Crabb-Another OT who has long favored Oregon and CU. His father played ball for Oregon, but they have not offered. We have a good shot here.
Kona Schwenke-Might be the best player in this year's Hawaiian class. Weakside DE that has shown well at camps. He plans on going on a mission before enrolling in school. We are currently on the outside looking in.
V.J. Fehoko-Also a strong contender for the best player in this year's Hawaiian class. Undersized, but very strong. His older brother plays at Texas Tech and he appears to favor the Red Raiders and UCLA at this juncture.
Sealii Epenesa-Prototypical build of a NT. Already has college-ready size. We are in the mix with UCLA here.
Foi Foi-Easily my favorite name this year. A more athletic DT that could swing outside to strongside DE in certain situations. Recently showed well at the Poly camp in Hawaii.
Lawrence Lagafuaina-Another kid who has the build of a NT. Does not currently have an offer from us, but we have been in contact. UCLA seems to be the odds-on favorite here.
Sani Fuimaono-An undersized DT prospect who recently visited Boulder. Does not have an offer and he is probably a Plan "B" or "C" recruit. Attends same school as Crabb.
Tuu Lolohea-LB that is starting to gain interest. Showed well at the Poly camp in Hawaii.
Shaydon Akuna-Very impressive LB prospect that might not be much of a dropoff from Fehoko. Good size and showed well at the Hawaii Poly camp. Currently has offers from several Pac-10 schools and I would not be surprised if we jump in the race eventually.
Overall, there's the potential for 2-3 Hawaiian players to sign in the 2010 class. Let's hope Coach Cabral can do his thing.:thumbsup:
