Feature on how the Warriors will be living at the dance studios during training camp

About the best spots in the dance studious that they will be living in for the 2+ weeks of training camp, Adrian Thomas said:
"You want to be out of the sun, but near the breeze." (HSA)


HSA Note: "In what started as a cost-cutting move that eventually became a training-camp tradition, the Warriors stay in two dance studios on the second floor of the UH athletic complex. The locker room is a floor below; an L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is 20 yards away."


About the dance studious, Jake Heun said:
"Five-star hotel." (HSA)


About how he was with the seniors and true freshmen in Studio 3 last year but he's in Studio 2 this year, Cayman Shutter said:
"I made it to the big-boy room. Even though I'm considered a freshman, second-year players get to go with the big boys." (HSA)


About how pillow fights are an accepted hazing ritual, Shane Austin said:
"For the rookies, you have to stay in groups. Everybody can keep a lookout for people coming in with pillows. For vets, you have nothing to worry about." (HSA)


About how Dan Kelly was ambushed when he was a senior, Austin said:
"He was avoiding it for a few years. It kind of caught up to him." (HSA)


About how people prefer to have their cots in the corners, Austin said:
"They're nice and cool and shady. In the middle, you're out in the open. In the corners, you have a little more privacy." (HSA)


Lewis Walker said that it is important:
"to get a spot nice and early." (HSA)


However, Walker noted that the strongest rule in the dance studios so:
"Somebody can move your things if they want that spot." (HSA)


About how he has a nice setup, Siaki Cravens said:
"It can get pretty hot. I've got my bed right by the window. I've got the breeze coming in. I've got my fan there, too. And I'm by an outlet. I can plug in my phone charger. Everything is good." (HSA)


About how he took everything with him when he went back to the Bay Area for a month, so he arrived with 2 full suitcases when he returned to Hawaii, Chizzy Dimude said:
"I took everything -- basically clothes and shoes. Too many. I didn't pack for training camp. I packed for Hawaii." (HSA)


About how he is avoiding the space near the front door, Dimude said:
"Last year, I was by the doors, but the cockroaches came in. I want to get more inside, away from the cockroaches. That's the key." (HSA)


About the huge cockroaches in the dance studios, Greg Salas said:
"They're huge cockroaches up there. It's crazy. They fly. They run up to you. They're crazy." (HSA)


Sad that this will be his last training camp, Salas said:
"It's going to be sad this is the last year." (HSA)


Sad that this will be his last training camp, Thomas said:
"I can't believe this is my last camp already. I'm going to make it the best one." (HSA)
