Random Warrior Quotes

Asked if he planned to open up the playbook more vs. UNLV, JJ said:
"Not really. We'll start with the same stuff and we'll see what they do. They'll have some new defensive wrinkles, so we'll adjust as we go." (HSB)


About their practice yesterday, JJ said:
"We needed to get a lot done today and we did." (HSB)

HSB Note: "The Warriors are using their Texas connections to try to bring in some new recruits.
Clyde Lee, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound receiver from Hightower High School in Fort Bend, has been offered by Hawaii. Lee made an oral commitment to Boston College last month, but a source said that commitment is soft. Lee averaged 20.6 yards with 20 receptions last year, six of them going for touchdowns.

The Warriors also earlier secured a commitment from cornerback Jeremiah Alexander, a cornerback who intercepted nine passes last year as a junior at Yates High School in Houston. UH also has an offer out to Alexander's teammate, defensive end Kenneth Frankson (6-2, 235). He's also received an offer from UTEP."


Riley Wallace, who now lives in Vegas and works for the Boyd Group, went to the UNLV-Wisconsin game and said about UH:
"I can tell you we'd better be ready." (HSB)

HSB Note: "Though Wallace said he'll be pulling for the Warriors tomorrow, he'll be a staunch UNLV fan come basketball season. His nephew, Kendall Wallace, is a freshman point guard with the Runnin' Rebels and Wallace and Larry Little, another former UH coach, are season-ticket holders.

Wallace, whose schedule is booked with golf outings and helping look after his grandson, said he and his wife, Joan, will be back in Hawaii in November for a series of Boyd events. His visit overlaps with the start of UH's basketball schedule as Bob Nash succeeds Wallace as head coach."


About their new Hawaiian war chant, Brad Kalilimoku said:
"We're still calling it the haka for now." (HSB)

HSB Note: "Another organizer, cornerback Guyton Galdeira, said the team will decide which version the team goes with tomorrow night."


HSB Note: "Visitors at practice yesterday included Alonzo Highsmith, who played for the Oilers when Jones was Jerry Glanville's offensive coordinator. Highsmith, who also had a career as a pro boxer, is now a scout for the Green Bay Packers."
