Both have seen their playing time drastically reduced. Sorry to see Bush-Loo not pan out.

Best of luck men

Allen has had concussions, so it may be medical.

Absolutely stunning to see how things turn out. On paper both of those guys appeared to be major players in the mix this year.

Maintaining quality depth at this level of play is a full time job. Its even more amazing when you consider that LB's Smothers, Cobb and Ware just to name three aren’t even sniffing of the field at this point, though in fairness to Ware he had an injury early on and they all are young.

Allen wants to concentrate on studies and Bush Loo wants to play closer to home....translation, neither were going yo contribute and let's not let them hang around and be bad teammates

I think Keoni was more of a family thing than anything. If you have ever talked to the young man you know his whole heart is with his family and Hawaii. He belongs in Hawaii and as much as I wish he wasn't leaving it is best for him. I can't wait to see this kid succeed because he will at whatever he wants to do.

About that...

http://tucson.com/sports/arizonawildcat ... e54e2.html" target="_blank

"Makani learned his five siblings were being abused by one of their parents both in Hawaii and after the family followed him to Arizona. At age 18, Makani — he was Keoni Bush-Loo then — took steps to protect his siblings. The parent was arrested, and Makani became his siblings’ caregiver."

There's a lot more in the story. The players still love him, and knew what was up. Gotta give him respect for what he's done.

More than respect, I admire anyone willing to do what he did and help his siblings out like that.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

Seriously. Sad story for him, but much more inspiring than the Bradford garbage.

Many props, sir. Way to be a man.
