The second annual Hawaii/Polynesia-Mainland Bowl is set for 7 p.m. Saturday (1 a.m. EST Sunday) at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu.

The game will feature several of the nation's top prospects from the continental 48 states taking on a roster filled with Hawaii all-stars as well as "mainland" players with Polynesian roots.

Skyler Schofner (Michigan State commit)

The defensive line showcases five of the 11 prospects on the Mainland team rated four stars or higher. Sharrif Floyd, the nation's top defensive tackle and No. 9 prospect overall, leads the way.

Lol!
Maybe I'm being cynical, but can Hawaii alone EVER be able to compete with the top stars from around the mainland? I mean I'm not trying to knock Hawaii's talent, but one state taking on the rest of the nation seems like a bit much.

One thing is for sure, as long as Hawaii is hosting the game there will always be a team from the mainland willing to let them try as well as a network and crew willing to broadcast it.

Yeah and what kid wouldn't want a free trip to Hawaii as well!
