I heard along time ago (over 10 years ago), but it still may be true, that out of all the high schools in the United States, no high school have produced more NFL players then a high school in Hawaii... Can you Hawaii people guess what school? Give you a hint, not St Louis, while it could be argued that some St louis teams of the past could compete with college teams....
I dont know if Hawaii will beat Georgia, who looks like they could keep up with almost anyone in the country right now, but I laugh at the fact that "ignorant mainlanders" look at Hawaii like it was Alaska or North Dakota or something... I think you really need to know Hawaii and understand the football culture, thus the word "ignorant mainlander", this is not meant to be a derogatory term, but rather the reality of people who don't know...
Last year, only Texas, Tennessee, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Florida had more players drafted than the University of Hawaii...
And that is a fact, not an opinion...
Back then the answer was Farrington...
Perhaps this has changed since...
I encourage people to face facts, rather then "who cares"..."Who cares" is the response to not being able to back up point...
The reality is that there is alot of talent in Hawaii and on the UH team... I am not saying they win SU or ATS or that you r pick is a good or bad pick...
I just think laugh at the "highschool hawaii", because Hawaii highschool football is up there with larger, more prominent states in terms of talent... And facts prove it, regardless of your outsider opinion you formed on your vacation...
Hawaii is one of the most expensive places to live in the USA... So if you want to find "low class" life style, just go to any tailor park in the main land... Every state has many and take a look at the "low class lazy fucks" that lives there.... I know I have lived in the mainland for over a decade...
In Hawaii there are no tailor parks... Once again showing ignorance...
I think people confuse ethnic and diverse with other assumptions... The stereotypes of alot of races in hawaii is that they work hard (perhaps too hard)... But I am guessing that once again yours is a "caucasian outsider" perspective is based on perception rather then reality...
GL with your pick tho...
