About his volunteer work, Lewis Walker said:
"I wouldn't call it community service. It wasn't a job. It was something I wanted to do. It was a way to talk to people from different sides of life." (HA)
About how he developed a friendship with a drug addict that he met in his first day at the shelter, Walker said:
"It was cool. He trusted me enough to open up." (HA)
About how he met a father of a professional athlete who abandoned his family when the children were young and was not able to re-establish family ties later, Walker said:
"His son was a professional athlete, and he didn't have a relationship with him. It's odd to see how some end up (in the shelter). It can take one little thing, one broken relationship, and it's out the window." (HA)
About how he wa not able to get his friends or cousins to work at the shelter, Walker said:
"You have to be bigger. It's not all about you." (HA)
About how his volunteer work helps him gain perspective, Walker said:
"I like helping others. It really makes you open up your eyes and see how you're blessed to have what you have. There are so many people who don't have close to what you have. Helping others, talking to people from different situations, it's the greatest feeling." (HA)
About how Cayman Shutter helps him during games, Bryant Moniz said:
"He offers encouragement. I like his company." (HA)
HA Note: "Moniz and Shutter will stand next to each other on the sideline when the Warriors are on defense."
About what he does when Moniz is in the game, Shutter said:
"I watch what he can't see." (HA)
About how he sticks to short comments during the game, Shutter said:
"I know he's hearing a lot of different things. I try not to overload him. I give him little pieces." (HA)
About how Shutter has been helpful to Moniz, QB coach Nick Rolovich said:
"(Shutter) is very observant. He's good to have in meetings. He asks good questions. He takes pride in the program and the position." (HA)
About Shutter, Moniz said:
"I never thought I'd like him, but I like him a lot. He's a good friend." (HA)
About giving a pep talk during yesterday's practice, UH-Manoa chancellor Virginia Hinshaw said:
"I thought it was a good time to come back and reinforce the support, and face the reality that we're a young team, and we're going to have to have some time to learn." (HA)
"It's been a tough time in lots of different ways. I think it's time to be sure we express our support for them because I know they work hard." (HSB)
About how the team needs their support, Hinshaw said:
"We have to be with them. You're there to pick them up and push them back on and help them learn. These are student-athletes. These are people's children. We have to help them succeed in all dimensions." (HA)
Hoping that UH does well against Boise State, Hinshaw said;
"They're a tough team, and they're great, but on any given day ..." (HA)
Thankful to be back and not focusing on the time he missed, DT Chris Leatigaga said:
"I'm just blessed I got the chance to come back and finish my season." (HSB)
HSB Note: "Whether Leatigaga would get that opportunity was in doubt in late August when his leg twisted in the Aloha Stadium turf and he was carted off the field during a preseason practice. He spent the time since then rehabbing his knee, and was back taking repetitions in practice yesterday."
About Leatigaga's recovery, DL coach Dave Aranda said:
"I give Chris a lot of credit for working hard and all our support people who worked with him. There's been situations where guys kind of blow up weight-wise and guys who maybe aren't as diligent as they need to be. But Chris did all the right things. This is his senior year and he's really dedicated to helping us out." (HSB)
Trying to get back up to speed quickly, Leatigaga said:
"The fastest way to get into it is just get in there and play. That's what I'm trying to do, get as many reps as I can. Everybody's on game seven and I'm on game one." (HSB)
About practicing at starting RG while Raphael Ieru sits out with an ankle injury, Sila Lefiti (who has been practicing at backup C) said:
"When you play center you have to know the whole system. You have to know what the guards are doing and what you're doing." (HSB)
