This from Doris Sullivan: Reeve Koehler, Kailua Intermediate School 8th grader, brother of Solomon Koehler from the University of Arizona, has been offered a football scholarship by Coach Greg McMackin at the University of Hawaii. Reeve is 6-2, 265 at 13 years old.Reeve has never played organized football due to weight limits in the Pop Warner league. His football experience has so far been limited to the Brian Derby Clinics for 3 years, competed at the PIAA football combine and the University of Hawaii Clinics.
Here is an excerpt on Paul who died recently in Hawaii. He left his Mark on the world and in the end that is all we can strive for.
"Paul Durham, Linfield College, University of Hawaii
Before becoming the director of athletics at the University of Hawaii, Paul Durham coached and served as the director of athletics at his alma mater, Linfield College. He was one of the founding fathers of the college's athletics program. As Linfield's football coach for 20 years, he guided the Wildcats to six conference titles, two NAIA championship games and posted a record of 122-51-10. He is ranked second on the college's all-time list for victories. Durham's 1961 team, which was the first undefeated team in college history, was inducted into the Linfield College Hall of Fame in 2005. At one point, Durham was the director of athletics, football coach, a faculty member and sports editor of the News-Register. In the summer, he ran the city recreation program, taught summer school and coached softball. Durham moved to the University of Hawaii in 1968 as the university's first AD. He grew the university's athletics from a club program to the threshold of Division I and played a major role in moving the Rainbows into the Western Athletic Conference. Although he retired from the athletics department in 1975, Durham continued to teach classes in the College of Education until 1981. He was inducted into Hawaii's Circle of Honors in 1997 and into Linfield's Sports Hall of Fame in its inaugural year. The foyer into Linfield's athletics complex bears his name. In 1962, he earned the NAIA Coach of the Year and Oregon Man of the Year awards. He was also inducted into the Los Angeles Football College Hall of Fame in 1975. Durham graduated from Linfield College in 1936 and is one of the few student-athletes in college history to earn 10 or more varsity letters"
Paul was inducted to the The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.
Here is to Paul and Jeff Durham who left a huge impression on the thousands of people they helped and represented Oregon in a way few have ever done.
Great Job Guys!
For three seasons Zach Kaahanui has worked the trenches for the Central Catholic Rams. He has come up through the system there with Oregon prep standouts Myles Wade, Kevin Frahm, Demetrius Guice, and Nick Green amongst others. All the while, few people realized that he was a very young talented lineman on the rise. His sophomore year he was flanked by Wade and Frahm and yet stood out for his super fast get off and his unique and brutal hand fighting techniques. For this linemen technique is his main weapon.
For those of us that have watched we have seen a powerful kid taking on double team and cut blocks on every down. We have watched a kid that has recorded sacks, fumble recoveries, and run stuffing blows in a 3-yard battle zone known as the interior line. But as the 2008 season is on the horizon we can see this linemen being in the top of his class. Zach Kaahanui has it down and this year is his time.
Kaahanui is coming off a superb season where as a junior he was named to the First Team Offense and the First Team Defense in the Mt. Hood Conference of the 6A Oregon football division. At 6-foot and 250-pounds, Zach is a formidable foe. Coaches from Hawaii to Utah have been impressed with him. In one-on-one camp competition, he has proved himself time and again and he can run with the biggest and the best. Looking back to last year Zach had a few thoughts.
"We started the season great and then lost a big one to Jesuit -that hurt our pride and people counted us out!" said Kaahanui. "But the highlight of the season was bouncing back and beating Southridge at home in the Playoffs. That was huge. We jumped on them early and they never knew what hit them. That was a quality game for us and me too!"
And well he should. Kaahanui recorded sacks, tackles, and fumble recoveries in that game and had a lot to do with that win.
Looking ahead Zach is hitting the weight room and conditioning 6 days a week. He credits Justin Scott for helping him to become stronger and faster. He notes his top skills as his footwork, ability to communicate with his teammates during the game, and his motor. He plays every position along the line and projects well into the collegiate ranks as a nose guard, center, or offensive guard. And collegiate play runs his in Hawaiian heritage as his father "Toots" Kaahanui played at Boise State and cousins Dominic and Donavan Raiola played at Nebraska and Wisconsin, winning All-American honors and the Outland Trophy along the way. Both went on to the NFL.
Zach is being actively contacted by Weber State, Arizona, Southern Utah, San Diego State, and Hawaii. He is also hearing from Portland State, Boise State, Oregon State and Oregon. He is an academic qualifier and appears to be on his way to the collegiate ranks. There are some outstanding linemen in Oregon this year and Kaahanui is in the top three or four in that group. Pound for pound and form an ability standpoint I have him as my #1. He should be once again a force in the 6A ranks and would project to be one of a growing line of outstanding Oregon linemen to go on to the collegiate ranks!
Best wishes to Zach Kaahanui and the Central Catholic Rams in their upcoming season!

After 3 years of working together and the help of his Family and Coaches Demetri Enesi is off the Board! Awesome job Kid! It was not easy and you worked real hard but man that motor of yours cna sure run! We are all so proud of you. From a Westview Wildcat to a Weber State Wildcat...seems like its all Cats for 4 more years!

After visiting Weber State a couple of weekends ago, Demetri Enesi was almost completely sold. The tough 6-foot-2, 241-pound defensive end from Westview High School in Portland found the Wildcats program to be a pleasant surprise and made some good connections with the people in Ogden. Enesi still planned on taking some more official visits before deciding, but as time went on he realized there was no need.
Originally scheduled to visit Eastern Washington this past weekend, Enesi never left his house. "I didn't go as I've verbally committed to Weber State," Enesi said. "I like the coaches there and I get along with the defensive line coach reall well. I like everything that I saw there so I went ahead (and committed)."
Enesi made the call on his verbal pledge late last week. The fit was there for him both on and off the field, so he knew there was no more reason to wait. "I like how they have a lot of stuff there for business, which is what I want to major in," Enesi said. "I like the football field too - I'd rather play on turf, but it's pretty nice. And my family talked to me (about the distance from home). If I need to fly home it will only cost 90 bucks."
On the field, Enesi is itching to hit it. "They want me to switch between defensive end or defensive tackle to see what I'm better at," Enesi said. "They're not sure about me:

Did Jordan Bishop save the best for last? The athletic 6-foot-3, 180-pound wideout from West Salem has been busy this month taking his official visits and has taken plenty of positives from each stop. Bishop knew his visit to Oregon State this past weekend had plenty of potential, but he had plenty of questions as well. How everything turned out for the speedster went beyond anything he could have imagined.
"It was everything I expected and more," Bishop said of the visit. "They have the best facilities that I've been to and the coaching staff is all cool. It's all something that would be a good fit for me."
One of Bishop's concerns going into the visit was all the talk about greyshirting his freshman year. He got all of those questions answered. "Basically, it's not for sure yet," Bishop said.

We first covered Adam Coerper when Coach Toots Kaahanuii of Central Catholic HS in Portland Called to tell us that he had seen this 6'5" phenom run a 4.7 and run wild out of the backfield int he fly sweep offense. What Said I? Well 4 days later I caught up to Adam's father Walt and 2 weeks after that he was on his way with a PSU offer. This kid played big in a small town and the seaosn was over when all this happened. This just goes to show you never ever give up! We gave him some help but he did the rest!
Adam's Dad just wrote to me and I thought I would share the comments.
Also here is an excerpt from the latest at Rivals.com.

COERPER MAKES A CHOICE!

There are some special recruiting stories in this year's football Class of 2008. But after this past weekend, no one of them could probably top that of Adam Coerper. The model 6-foot-5, 240-pound athlete performed in relative obscurity his entire career at Hood River Valley High School and even after a super senior season, only barely got Big Sky recruiting attention. But recent developments with Coerper have led to him stepping from small time to the big time after a trip this past weekend.
"I had gotten a phone call from Coach Rasmussen from Washington State about a month ago wanting to set up a (official) visit," Coerper said. "So I went up there this past weekend and I really liked the school and really liked the whole campus atmosphere. In Pullman, the whole town is into Washington State football and it's in the Pac-10 which is a big deal to me."
"They offered me Saturday night after dinner," Coerper continued. "I told them I wanted to come here and the next morning, I called Coach Wulff to tell him (I was committed) and he was excited."
For Coerper, the decision was:
