Former University of Hawaii star WR Ashley Lelie is coming back to the islands... having been traded away by the Parkwood Predators for Oakland rookie WR Johnie Morant and the Opihi's 4th round pick in 2005.

There's no truth to the rumors that Lelie's coming back to Hawaii to retire from football - it only seems that way based on how he's been playing in this 2004 preseason (wait, did we say "playing"? we meant NOT playing!).

Opihi head coach, Jim White, shrugs it off and responds, "This is just a slump. Ashley excelled playing here in Hawaii, and we have no doubts that he'll return to his superstar form once back in the islands.... (long pause)... Well, okay, we do have some doubts about it... but what the heck, it's good to have a local boy home!"

The Opihi will announce within 24 hours whether Ashley will be activated or will begin the season on the Developmental Squad.

Predators to confirm...
