About how he was Mack's first recruit for UH, Jake Heun said:
"They might like to sweep that under the rug, but, yeah, I was the first one." (HSA)
About how he is practicing at RB this week, Heun said:
"It might be a one-week thing, but I got to hang out with the offensive guys." (HSA)
About how he served as a blocker for all 15 snaps he had at RB, Heun said that he is ready to run or catch the ball:
"I keep telling Rolo to give me the ball." (HSA)
Praising Heun, Rolo said:
"He's a vocal leader. He's intense and competitive, and he wants to win. That's how he was in junior college. People respect him here." (HSA)
About his 3-year career at UH, which ended when he suffered a torn ACL last week in the Utah State game, Ryan Henry said:
"I gave it my all. I wish I had more opportunities." (HSA)
About having one catch last season and one catch this season after redshirting in 2008, Henry said about his limited playing time at slotback:
"It wasn't what I expected." (HSA)
HSA Note: "Punter Alex Dunnachie gave high marks to slotbacks Kealoha Pilares and Dustin Blount, left wideout Rodney Bradley and safety Richard Torres. Left slotback Greg Salas, who has two punt returns this season, did not participate in that workout."
Praising the way that Richard Torres catches punts, Dunnachie said:
"He sees the ball really well off the (punter's) foot, and gets in position early." (HSA)
HSA Note: "Torres, a junior, said he has not fielded punts since his senior season at Kahuku."
Kealoha Pilares said that returning punts is:
"another opportunity to make a big play. It's so much easier to make moves when they're running right at you. ... It's about setting up blocks, too." (HSA)
About suffering a shoulder injury during yesterday's practice, Parker Paredes (a key member of 2 special teams) said:
"Somebody put their helmet on my shoulder, and I heard two pops." (HSA)
About how he is Parker's replacement on the kickoff and kick-return teams, Aaron Brown said:
"If the coach asks me to play, I'm not going to turn him down." (HSA)
About how their secondary has to improve before they face UH in their next game, Boise State head coach Chris Petersen said:
"Especially with Hawaii coming to town, we're going to have to tighten some things up." (HSA)
