UHH basketball: Seven Vulcan newcomers have big shoes to fill

Nothing has been promised to these seven, but a lot will be asked of at least some.

When you consider that the University of Hawaii at Hilo women’s basketball team is looking to replace eight of its nine leading scorers, there is no other way around it.

In many ways this is not your garden variety recruiting class. For one, it includes a Ka’u graduate, Pili Kailiawa.

Coach David Kaneshiro started following Kailiawa’s career at Umpqua when he was recruiting Hayley Reynolds – one of the eight that must be replaced – at the community college in Oregon.
