Kaniela Tuipulotu will transfer from Arizona to Hawaii

HSB Note: "Kaniela Tuipulotu, one of the state’s highest rated football recruits two years ago, will transfer from Arizona to Hawaii, the Kahuku graduate said today. The defensive tackle plans to return to Hawaii this week after finishing summer school in Tucson. He started seven games for the Wildcats last season, but wants to be closer to home."

About transferring to UH, Tuipulotu said:
"(UH linebacker and friend Blaze Soares) told me there’s nothing like playing in front of your family. That stuck with me." (HSB)

According to Tuipulotu's Myspace page, Arizona wouldn't give him a release to play for Utah so he is going to UH instead.
