The Wayne Coito Show - Cindy Luis Talks UH Volleyball, #HawaiiFB New Mexico Bowl Bound While More Players Enter Transfer Portal

The University of Hawai‘i football season took another surprising turn this past week when the team was extended an invitation to play the Houston Cougars - "the other UH" - in the New Mexico Bowl. At the same time, we are seeing more UH players enter the NCAA transfer portal. We discuss the numbers game that coaches will be playing in the offseason-- how can they bring in new recruits while holding spots for the Seniors who have been granted another year of eligibility?

Longtime Honolulu Star Advertiser writer Cindy Luis - whose ancestors came from the same tiny village in Madeira, Portugal as Wayne's great-grandfather, we learned! - talks Rainbow Warrior volleyball - who look forward to competing in 2021 - and Rainbow Wahine volleyball - who deal with bitter disappointment of a season cancelled. We look at the ramifications of only have some sports play versus others and the optics involved in a sticky situation for universities who juggle student-athlete safety while trying to maintain important revenue streams for their schools.
