THREE TO SEE

Kai Baugh, running back

Backfield leader by production, and team leader by example

Kelo Logova, quarterback

Better keep an eye on him, or 4x100 relay member will be off to races

Kaipo Retome, linebacker

Sure-tackling senior is Knights' only returning all-league first-teamer

OUTLOOK

Remember all those one-win-or-worse seasons of the early 2000s? They are long gone.

Theriault has done a nice job of continuing to stabilize a volatile program. In fact, his roster numbers are up this summer, especially with skill-position depth.

Baugh is a brute who fends off tacklers -- and issues punishment at linebacker. But he won't need to be overworked running the football, especially with Dejesus and emerging sophomore Kendrean Hurt around to spell him.

With a blend of exciting young linemen, led by Collins, the Knights could be in the thick of a playoff chase this season.
