Polynesian Bowl (Official Thread)

[MililaniBuckeye]

Watching this game which features most of the top HS players of Polynesian descent from throughout the country, along with a smattering of non-Polynesians. Of note are two Michigan commits: QB Dylan McCaffrey (for whom I think we have a thread) and RB Kurt Tyalor (3* from Loganville, GA, and whose dad played basketball for Hawaii in '92-'93). Despite having most of the top HS players of Polynesian descent, and pre-game graphic showed there are 89 players of which 29 are 4* and 5* (meaning 60, or 2/3 of the players, are 3* or below), so the level of talent wasn't all that great. The only player who really stood out was 5* Iowa DE commit AJ Epenesa who was all over the place, most likely due the talent level of the OTs he faced.

That would be the Inaugural Asian Female Ninja Assassin Bowl...

Nah, probably just watch it on TV with a few beers...getting into and out of Aloha Stadium is a nightmare.
