VS 
Tulane
We scouted the Green Wave
personally this year and were less than impressed. Junior quarterback
JP
Losman has a big arm but not a good feel for the position, running
back Mewelde Moore
looks to be a fraction of what he was in 2001 and is almost an afterthought in
the offense but to his credit looks like a terrific
receiver out of the backfield. Wide
out Roydell Williams was lost to an
early season injury but in the end could be Tulane's most productive NFL player. They have a trio of talented defensive backs;
Lynaris Elpheage
flashes cover skills on occasion and could be a decent dime back at the next
level. The same can be said for Jeff Sanchez, who is also a good special
teams player. Adrian Mitchell is a solid sized free safety that likes to
mix it up and can also cover in deep center field. Punter/place kicker Seth Marler
has got a big leg but must improve his accuracy and directional kick ability.
Hawaii
It was a terrific campaign for the
Warriors, though they will always be the Rainbow Warriors to us. They
offer several solid first day, middle round and late frame picks.
Offensively the headliner is Vince
Manuwai, a
smart and athletic guard
that can be used in several different blocking schemes. Though he lacks
the top size as of now, his versatility will be in high demand next April.
Overlooked by many scouts is tackle
Lui Fuata,
a prospect we feel has nice potential at the next level inside as both a pass
protector and run blocker. Defensively outside
linebacker Pisa
Tinoisamoa has
already made it known he will not return to Hawaii for a fourth season on the
football field, even though it looks as though he'll meet academic requirements
and will be eligible. Tinoisamoa is undersize but explosive, quick and looks
like he has potential on the weak side. Chris
Brown is a
tough, run-stuffing middle
linebacker that has
difficulty playing in space. Another underrated Hawaii senior would be Laanui
Correa, a
deceptively strong defensive
end that rushes the passer yet also stuffs the run effectively.
