Does this mean the staff is not confident in Pahinui as a backup @ C?

...or they want to move someone to guard.

Would not be surprised to see either Mose at C and Barr at G or vice versa.

I believe Barr played some guard last year when Rice had to play center

They're adding depth.

agreed its adding talented depth, and allows them to now RS Newman and any other G freshman. Also, another solid add at C since we struggled at times at C. 

Barr, Miles, Henson, Pahinui, Moses

I'm pumped to add another pacific islander to the group, and brothers tend to play well together, in my limited experience with it. My only question is if he had other interest or what his situation was out of high school. I tried to look around for a little while, but I couldn't find any offers from now or then other than ours. He played for a marquee high school program, although watching his film it looks like he played more guard and tackle than center in HS. I was just curious if anyone had any more insight on his recruiting situation, or, any of the coaches can give a better film evaluation than i can. The things i noticed are that he finished his blocks, drives well and plays to the whistle. On the other side, doesn't have a ton of speed or fire off the ball incredibly quick (yet).

I do agree, adding/starting that Trinity pipeline for OL would be great. I do like that in the past podcast Ashton has talked about how high the staff is on the younger brother, and that if he had been a few inches taller he woulda been a bigger recruit. OL is all about chemistry and having guys who can work together is a huge advantage.
