[I]
For decades, college football’s Polynesian Pipeline existed between Hawaii, the Samoan Islands and BYU.

Now, Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall and Polynesian heritage members of his staff are extending that pipeline 2,000 miles eastward. Not purposely, mind you, but by bonds that go back to their era in Provo.

Two of UVa’s latest additions to its 22-man recruiting class are Hawaiians: defensive lineman Aaron Faumui of Kapolei, and offensive lineman Micah Mariteragi of Hauula. Both are ranked among the state’s top 10 prospects, as is previous signee Samson Reed, a defensive lineman from Laie.
It’s a connection that Mendenhall and three of his Polynesian assistant coaches assumed was over when they left BYU two years ago and headed east to Virginia. That hasn’t been the case, which can be a good thing for the rebuilding Cavaliers program
