Good for him. Rarely have I seen an athlete choose a D1AA over a D1 program.
The faddah was a stalwart on the Iolani team that destroyed Waianae in the 1980 Prep Bowl. You gotta wonder if Iolani offered him too. Or is Iolani content with concentrating just recruiting basketball players.
Punahou guy going to a D-2 school? Really?
Congratulations, Jack-Eli! Your father and uncles were all great players! Tufono/Thompson Bloodlines: AWESOME!! God Bless!
@mahatmaGandi ,Brada Iolani tied with waianae in the 1980 prep bowl! Good luck Tufono!
