University of Hawaii defensive coordinator Legi Suiaunoa has double vision. He can face one side during a football drill, but point out a misalignment on the opposite end. But triple vision?

During Thursday’s spring practice, Suiaunoa placed three large hoops on the ground, all several yards apart. It was a pass-rushing drill in which a player had to maintain speed and balance while circling the hoop against a blocker. It also had the controlled chaos of a three-ring circus. But Suiaunoa simultaneously watched all three groups, racing here and there to correct technique and shout encouragement.

“When you’ve been doing this long enough, you know where to get your eyes,” Suiaunoa said. “You know what stuff is supposed to look like and what looks out of place.”

Suiaunoa was promoted from line coach to defensive coordinator 10 days before the Feb. 20 start of spring training. The defense has drawn praise for its intensity, aggressiveness and attention to detail.

“We feel good about what we’ve accomplished this spring,” Suiaunoa said after Thursday’s 11th of 15 practices this spring training.

With several ailing players held out of contact drills and a recruiting class set to arrive this summer, the Warriors have installed about 20 percent of the defensive playbook. Suiaunoa said that is an ample amount if they play the schemes correctly.

“We don’t need 100 percent of the defense in to play good defense,” Suiaunoa said. “We just have to get them to believe and know 100 percent of what they’re supposed to do when those 20 percent plays are in.”

Webb getting his shot

After not playing in a game in his first two UH seasons, offensive tackle Austin Webb is making the most of an extended audition this spring training. Right tackle RJ Hollis’ graduation and left tackle Dejon Allen’s ankle injury have opened reps for offensive linemen.

“Every camp is really important, especially when you haven’t played yet,” said Webb, a Dallas native who is 6 feet 8 and 310 pounds. “Every day I fix something new. I fix mental errors. I fix physical errors. You try to do as good as you can with your team. As an O-line, we’re getting stronger every day.”

Webb works out every day of the week. He also signed up for hip-hop dance classes to improve agility. “I’m trying to get the other offensive linemen to join me,” Webb said. “I think it helps slowly. It can’t hurt. You hear about the pros doing crazy things to get better. Might as well try it.”

Hendrie set for summer entry

If everything goes according to plan, defensive end Max Hendrie will be ready for training camp this summer.

Hendrie, who attended high school at The Scots College in Australia, was not eligible to play as a freshman in 2016 because all the credits he had earned did not initially meet the NCAA’s core requirements. He eventually was cleared to practice.

But he suffered a torn pectoral muscle while weight training, and underwent surgery in November. He was told a full recovery would take six months.

“I’ll use the summer to get my strength back and make sure my body’s working the way I want to be,” Hendrie said.
