About how he knew that UH would be in good shape when Bess and RGM graduated because of two players they had (Salas and Pilares), Colt Brennan said:
"You could tell they had a lot of potential." (HSA)
About how Salas played well when he was redshirting during Salas' first year at UH (Colt's last year at UH), Colt said:
"I'm not surprised. Greg made big plays every day in practice." (HSA)
About how Salas did well against their starting defense in 2006, Nate Ilaoa said:
"Greg used to kill our first-team defense. It was kind of funny, but when he first came, we didn't know Greg's last name. One of the guys thought his last name was 'Salsa.' We used to say, 'There goes Salsa again.' (The first-team offense) didn't get to practice with him too much, but we always heard from the guys on defense that he was making the great catches. The stuff he does now doesn't surprise me. He's put in the hard work. I'm glad to see the rest of the nation is seeing it." (HSA)
Comparing Salas to former UCLA and NFL receiver Danny Farmer, Colt said:
"Greg is that truly great possession receiver who gets the ball. He reminds me of those guys from Cali I grew up around. I always rooted for him. He's talented, and he has a great personality. He's really funny." (HSA)
About how Pilares was grayshirting in the fall of 2006 while he tried to learn the offense, Ilaoa said:
"He was coming to meetings, trying to learn. I knew he would be a good one because of his willingness to learn." (HSA)
About how Pilares showed significant potential as a freshman, Colt said:
"The way Kealoha handled himself, and the success he had so young, you knew the sky was the limit for the kid. We were always impressed how he was maturing. He was one of our key weapons my senior year (in 2007)." (HSA)
About how he continues to follow the Warriors and likes how they are developing, Colt said:
"I really like the possibilities of this team and what they can do. Maybe they can create some upsets. They've built a foundation for some good football." (HSA)
Praising UH's offense, Ilaoa said:
"The numbers these guys are putting up, I'm loving it. That's the run-and-shoot for you. It's great to see these guys putting up video-game numbers. I'm proud of them." (HSA)
About how their team had a lot of injuries last year after their loss to La Tech, Mack said:
"(The loss at LaTech) really put us in a downward spiral last year. We were a hurtin' football team." (HSA)
