I agree HOTPE. It isn't anything unusual and there's nothing that can be done about our proximity. If our team happens to beat a powerhouse team, which they have done in the past, then it's a big boost to team ego and momentum. Highly skilled high school players, which Hawaii has more than it's share of, will continue to go to mainland schools until our college gets a reputation and starts winning. The key certainly wasn't Norm Chow albeit he was local, he wasn't a fit. When a good coach settles in and Hawaii starts winning, more local stars will stay in Hawaii as opposed to flyin' off. Let's hope Rolovich is on the right track.
