The only thing I can pass on is I'm told that they recruit heavily from local players, not real big on bringing in guys from the "mainland". I know two kids that went there from California and were gone within a year. Don't know the specifics but Hawaii has a real "locals only" attitude in many respects.
Allstar91,
You have a pm. Aloha

Last time I checked out their roster, there were only a few locals on it....??? Lots of CA players.
I would not go here. I was recruited to a different school by one of the coaches currently on staff. He was 100% dishonest to myself and my parents.
Wow 100%! That's pretty pure BS. He didn't even get your name right JKBHS15? 
It's anonymous and it's one side of the story. If you're going to take a shot at a program how about telling the board who you are, what happened and where it happened. Start with who you are.quote:Originally posted by JKBHS15:

Ok, fair enough.
The whole story.
I was recruited to a CA D1 out of high school by one of their coaches. I received baseball and academic money, and was completely mislead by the staff (namely the coach now working at Hawaii)Out of the 14 freshman that signed, only 3 finished at that school. I attended the first semester, and then realized what happened. And to answer your sarcastic comment spizzlepop, when I transferred I ended up being an all american and then played professional baseball for an american league organization. Talent was not the issue. I felt like my parents were lied to and the coaching staff misrepresented itself. I think thats enough detail. And to the person who asked the question, best of luck down the road.

All Star;
My son, Robert played at UH in 1991-92 with Coach Les. The UH team ranked 8th in the USA played with 4,000 people watching each game.
When I visited, I tried to find the "fountain of youth" and return as a baseball player.
"I do not understand why any player would not attend this school".

My oldest son played highschool baseball on the island.
The team was lucky to receive complimentary home game tickets to UH games. We went for many years. We liked what we saw.
Son would go back and play there at the college level in a heart beat.
And as far as the locals go, the Hawaiian people are some of the kindest and most welcoming you people you will ever know. Their hearts are filled with true aloha.
Oh,..and talk about a beautiful field!! Wow!!
JKBHS15, sounds like your experience wasnt a good one. Glad things worked out in the end for you.
