Happy to have his recruiting process over, Tyler Hadden said:
"It's a huge relief; I've been so stressed out about it." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Hadden said he also had offers from New Mexico State and Weber State, but had Hawaii at the top of his wish list. He orally committed to New Mexico State on Thursday morning, but got a call from the UH coaches offering a scholarship later in the day. He accepted the UH offer, then called the NMSU coaches back to break the news."
About selecting UH over NMSU, Hadden (who cited UH's business school as a factor in his decision) said:
"I sat down and thought about it with my family, and with Hawaii being my first choice it seemed like a better fit for me." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Sailer, a former UCLA kicker and now a prominent instructor, runs camps for kickers and punters and has worked with Hadden since his freshman year of high school. Sailer said Hadden had a strong showing at a camp last month in Las Vegas and listed his strengths as "his technique and consistency, and he's a very polished kicker." "
Praising Hadden, Sailer said:
"His leg strength is well above average, his ability to kick off the ground is well above average and his kickoffs are well above average. I see him as a guy who can play right away. He's a guy who's still going to develop physically. Give him a year or two and he's going to add so much strength and flexibility." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Hadden said he made 13 of 15 field goals last season, with a long of 50 yards. He kicked off a 1-inch tee in high school and has worked on kicking off the turf, which he'll have to do in college. Senior Scott Enos handled all of UH's place-kicking duties last season and went 12-for-19 on field goals and made all 34 of his point-after attempts. The Warriors were looking for a kicker who could compete for the job this season and provide depth with Enos entering his final season."
