The Canes hire Hawai'i GM Keiki Misipeka

[252cane]

Does it say what Field will be doing? Been seeing him on a lot of Recruiting visits.

No just that Edwards is taking over for smith. Smith will be doing other stuff with the team. And the new hire

Gaby said d.smith has been demoted

Let’s gooooo

 

[252cane]

[arwinga]

Cliff notes please

 

[BWCD]

They have dangerous thumbs too!!!

 

[252cane]

Field is just probably just filling in because of the changes

 

[BWCD]

Cliff notes please

-Taylor Edwards will take over for Dennis Smith as the Executive Director of Recruiting

-Kieki Misipeka will be in personnel with responsibilities that also include NIL engagement

-Dennis Smith will transition into a to-be-determined role (jack of all trades kind of thing)

TLDR - Seems like D Smiff is being demoted.

I know just titles but it used to be:

Dennis Smith - Executive Director Football

Stephen Field - Executive Director Recruiting

 

[Odysseus]

Some serious boss moves here

 

[JHallCanes]

I wanna see Dennis Smiff try and veto this dude

Misipeka: “we should offer this dude”

Smiff: “no way man no way”

Misipeka:

Whole recruiting room led by Taylor Edwards gets up

Here's what caught my eye: when he worked for the NFL, he not only recruited Samoa, but also Polys as far away as New Zealand. Maybe we start getting rugby players like Jordan Mailata out of high school. Misipeka played both pro football and pro rugby.

Getting someone from Hawaii university to be a GM for a poly connection and rugby players? Are we serious? This seems like a mediocre hire

I know from years of watching professional wrestling that your Pacific Islanders have extraordinarily thick skulls and are impervious to pain

A++++

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Cool. Not going to pretend like I know how this hire will benefit anything so. Best of luck to you here

As serious as Mario is about recruiting, I gotta imagine something aligns for him here that his resume won't speak to

Honest question
