Preseason Magazines like the Warriors this year

HSA Note: "Among four annuals scheduled to hit the newsstands this month, one (Lindy's) has the Warriors winning the WAC and three others see them no worse than a tie for second place in the conference.

If that holds up, coming off a 10-4 tri-WAC title, it would be a far cry from 1993, 2000 and 2008, when UH followed up titles with 6-6, 3-9 and 7-7 finishes, respectively."


Picking UH to finish the regular season 10-3 and only losing to Nevada in the WAC, Athlon wrote:
"Nevada and Hawaii appear to be the best two teams in the first year A.B. (After Boise), though Fresno State and Louisiana Tech could make things interesting." (HSA)


Phil Steele wrote about UH:
"Nevada and Hawaii were both co-champs with Boise and figure to be the favorites in '11." (HSA)

"Hawaii returns Bryant Moniz and probably has the most explosive offense in the league." (HSA)


Lindy's wrote about UH:
"With most of the league's teams starting from scratch, Hawaii is the one to beat." (HSA)

"if the offensive line is a collection of fifth-year castoffs not ready for prime time." (HSA)
