Hawaii 2014 news
In mid-May it was reported that Hawaii was no longer an option for erstwhile USC quarterback Max Wittek because he wouldn’t graduate that month as expected. As it turns out, that may not make a difference.
According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Wittek is in the process of becoming a walk-on with the Rainbow Warriors football program. Wittek told the Star-Advertiser that he stills needs to consult with his family before making a final decision but there’s “a good possibility” this is the tack he’ll take thanks in large part to UH head coach Norm Chow.
“I feel great with coach Chow,” Wittek said. “He’s awesome. He’s been so helpful through this whole process.”
Because he’s not a graduate transfer as expected, Wittek would have to sit out the 2014 season. He would then have one year of eligibility remaining in 2015.
Wittek was a four-star member of the Trojans’ 2011 recruiting class, rated as the No. 3 pro-style quarterback in the country. In late January, he announced he would be transferring from USC in search of a better shot at playing time.
It was originally thought Wittek would end up at Texas; the Longhorns subsequently cooled their interest, likely due to the graduation issue.

Re: Hawaii 2014 news
Even as he is “just” a true freshman, Devan Stubblefield was expected to make an immediate and significant contribution to Hawaii’s offense.
Unfortunately, said contributions will have to wait until 2015.
A couple of days into summer camp, the Rainbow Warriors announced that Stubblefield has suffered both a torn ACL and meniscus. As a result, the wide receiver will miss the entire 2014 season.
The loss of Stubblefield only exacerbates the situation at wide receiver for Hawaii. Vasquez Haynes (29 receptions for 354 yards and three touchdowns in 2013) underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last week
