Article about UH commits Viliami Fonokalafi and David Lefotu

About facing Fonokalafi in a one-on-one drill during UH's Big Man's Camp last week, Lefotu said:
"He's a great guy, very explosive defensive lineman. We were really getting at it, but at the end of the day we shook hands and we're really proud that we both committed to UH." (HSB)

About how he had planned to go to the mainland to play until UH's junior day, Fonokalafi said:
"The junior day made a great impression on me. It changed the way I was thinking. I thought going to the mainland would be the best thing for me. But going to the Junior Day, (UH) seemed like a great fit." (HSB)

HSB Note: "Fonokalafi said working with former UH and Kaimuki lineman Matt Faga, now a Bulldogs assistant coach, motivated him to work toward college."

Lefotu said that his Pearl City coaches had told him that the Warriors were interested in him, but when the offer came:
"it was a big relief to commit to UH and become a future Warrior." (HSB)
