Hawaii recruiting 2016

[ShoichiKUN808]

With everyone on our recruiting list that were committed signing with us. I'm pleased with the results.

 

Also Rolo got one last commit in likely a walkon/greyshirt QB. Rolo now has his 5 QBs he wanted heading into camp.

In reference to McDonald,

Could he be the #imalloutofhashtagcreativity? or the #lastminutesurprise?

Wasn't anyone who we thought it was...BYU stole the commit.

BYU picked up his cousins Keanu Saleapaga and ND transfer Tyler Luatua and sounds like he had a scholarship be available after BYU missed on some of the higher profile guys they targeted.

Hawaii landed a couple Defensive Lineman and two QB's for this upcoming 2016 season. Rolo seems to be hard after QB's to try find a quality starter that can lead his program. Possibly more QB's in the near future as well.

 

Kyle Gallup (Marshall walkon) 6'2ft 211lb QB that will have 4 years to play 4 seasons. Walkon

Planning on transferring to the Hawaii program in time for the upcoming season. Personal family issues are part of the reason he is transferring to the Hawaii Program.

HS stats:1850 Passing Yards, 170ATT/256COMP (66.4%), 20 TD/9 INT
