Mack hopes to keep the local players home

About getting the local players to go to Hawaii, especially after the Sugar Bowl season excited the entire state, Mack said:
"We need to keep all our players at home, and keep the journey going, look at what happened this last year, everybody's still excited about what happened, we have to keep that excitement." (KHNL)

About his plan to keep in contact with the schools and coaches all eyar long, Mack said:
"It's going to be a year round thing, I want to get into all the high schools in Hawai'i and our coaches will put on clinics, just let the coaches know they're all welcome to Hawai'i football and we're all in the same situation and share our ideas and just be together." (KHNL)

Loving how Mack plans to reach out to the high schools, Farrington Head Coach Randall Okimoto said:
"I think that's a great gesture on his part, to show interest in the local high schools and to come out and meet us and show his interest is really gratifying to hear. That's why it's so special here is because of the culture, and that's what I want the foundation of our program to be based upon, and we have great players here in Hawaii." (KHNL)

KHNL Note: "In the two weeks Coach Mack's worn the head coaching hat, the team's already hosted almost 20 local recruits."
