This should be interesting. Still would like to hear from the Warrior posters.
I think that Bo would have redshirted if JJ was still at Hawaii. Senior Tyler Graunke was the expected starter, but he had academic problems this summer. However, redshirt Junior Inoke Funaki has had a lot of time in the system and would have been a solid, experienced (he's 25 years old!) option at QB.
However, JJ and Dan Morrison liked JC QB Rausch and he probably would have ended up at Hawaii if JJ stayed...and he's won the starting QB job at Hawaii. So, I'd guess that Rausch and Funaki would have been the top 2 QBs at Hawaii and Bo would have redshirted.
That is the nice thing about having QB depth. Last year Hawaii had Colt as a senior, Tyler as a Junior, Funaki as a Sophomore, and a few other QBs. The coaching staff had already identified Rausch (who has 3 seasons of eligibility), so they would have had the Bo as a freshman, Rausch as a Sophomore (assuming he still would have gone to Hawaii, but JJ/DM were apparently the only ones who knew he was eligible to transfer after his first year at his JC), Funaki as a Junior, and Tyler as a Senior.
