We don't consider it "settling"....

CoachSpeak

1/17/19 9:56am

Style of play, roster, coaches, opportunities for PT, etc. Lots of things go into this decision. Not to mention...

That scholarship is worth $100k...food, housing, books, travel, etc..maybe more

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

The coaches broke it down for us...

CoachSpeak

1/17/19 4:15pm

True, but would he go to UH if not for the fb scholarship?

spoxjox

1/17/19 4:57pm

Well I wouldn’t pay for him to got there...

CoachSpeak

1/17/19 5:56pm

OK, I can't resist...

lbmango

It doesn’t cost 800k for 5 years at UH...

CoachSpeak

1/20/19 6:52am

Are you joking? This might be the lamest post of all time

Alpi Gusto

whiteninja

1/18/19 9:48am

Yea BYU was fine...

CoachSpeak

1/18/19 11:16pm

With Wilson, Hall, and Conover in the pipeline, I don't think BYU really needs

Y05

1/19/19 12:46am

That was actually one of the things that we considered from the beginning...

CoachSpeak

Awesome

Way excited for your son and can’t imagine how fun the islands would be

ColumbusCoug

1/16/19 8:23pm

I think he’s pretty well set on Hawaii...

CoachSpeak

1/16/19 8:25pm

Out of curiosity, does the university ever provide transportation to/from the

crack

1/16/19 8:27pm

I don’t think so....

CoachSpeak

1/16/19 8:34pm

I could be wrong.. but i believe the players get 'miles' for all the travel..

TheLost

1/18/19 9:26am

Or if true, maybe they could swing a few

Vernon Dozier

Daniel?

Kerbouchard

1/16/19 8:33pm

Yes, he’s Boone the American Fork HS QB...

CoachSpeak

1/16/19 8:35pm

Awesome, my brother coaches the safeties last season. Boone is an awesome player

Duke Silver

1/16/19 8:57pm

Thanks...

CoachSpeak

1/16/19 9:57pm

Hawaii would be a great place to be a QB under a Rolovich offense

Jesse Pinkman

1/16/19 8:35pm

We think so as well...

CoachSpeak

1/16/19 8:37pm

I still have harsh feelings for Rolovich from the 2001 game.

SpiffCoug

1/16/19 8:42pm

I brought that up...

CoachSpeak

1/16/19 9:58pm

I know Nick a bit. He is a great guy and coach. The O he runs is a good fit.

Dr. 91coug

Why Hawaii over some of the other schools?

They were the first FBS to offer him....
