Quotes from Greg McMackin

Happy to be back at UH, GM said:
"It's great to be back. June (head coach Jones) has done a great job here. The coaches are mostly the same guys who I worked with before, and the players are just fun to work with. It's time to go to work." (HSB)


About figuring out the starting lineup and the playing rotation, GM said:
"The players will trust us because they know we work really hard to play the best players. If a guy can help us win, then we want to get him on the field." (HSB)


About how Blaze, Sol, Adam, and Brad Kalilimoku will rotate for the 3 LB spots, GM said:
"All four of those guys, I feel really strong about the linebacker corps." (HSB)


About his playing time and position, Kalilimoku said:
"Whatever Coach decides. I just play where they tell me to play. I always just try to do my best and strive to do better and better. I'm going to continue to do that." (HSB)

HSB Note: "In addition, McMackin said he has confidence in reserves such as C.J. Allen-Jones, Micah Lau, Brashton Satele and Timo Paepule."


About Desmond Thomas being above him on the depth chart right now, Erik Robinson said:
"I respect that. But I'm (going to) keep working harder and harder ... If it take me to play special teams, or whatever, I'll do whatever it take to get a win." (HSB)


About Erik Robinson, GM said:
"He's a great person, and he's a team guy. He's gonna need to learn the system, but he does the things that we want and we'll take a good look at him this fall, and he'll be competing for a starting position." (HSB)
