From a longtime UH hoops fan

Received this from a longtime UH hoops fan:

While thus far, by the numbers it appears that Hiram, Bo, and Amis are the key members of this squad, I say, this entire team has done really well.

Thomas and Johnson are both capable of huge nights at any given time. ^Thomas has been a rock down low, consistent, and is such a fiery guy who leads by example. Johnson we know will have many a twenty point game this year no doubt in my mind, but, as of now a key role for him has been to play the 3 when Thomas goes to the 4 and sometimes 5 positions.

It is their ability to swing back and forth that has been a key point in our early success. 

Our bench has been amazing, all ten active players have risen to the task thus far. A lot of potential for a good season. 

Just a word of caution to all, this is early in the season and yes, we have looked pretty good for a new team. However, we haven't played any good or great teams yet. That test is on the horizon in holiday tournament yet to come  

But, I do like our chances and potential. 

Once our centers get active and involved in the game, we will be much better. Also, when Brumfield is back on the horse it will be interesting. 

Gibber, true to his word, has played the available personnel keeping us fresh and strong for the final run of the game. Whereas last year, we would be so gassed it was as if we went belly up every game in the last five minutes. 

Save for Jordan Coleman, who will apparently redshirt this year, our freshmen have exceeded our expectations.

Good times are on the horizon as we've already restocked the shelves with two early commits and whether or not the last scholie is the brazilian or not, this staff has proven that they will bring some legit talent to manoa. i.e. Ronnie Stevens, Gerry Blakes.

No one can deny what the Gibber has done. It was nice to see papa Frank Arnold beaming with pride this past weekend. It is too bad the cameras did not have the wherewithal to capture that moment on Friday when father congratulated son. 

It is a feel good story in itself. Although Frank did have a tough time here, he also came here with the cupboard very bare and if memory serves me well, I believe he left very graciously and gentlemanly. 

As this could be a "Lifetime movie" someday, “The Frank and Gibber Story”. a real feel good story no doubt.
