Tuipulotu, Lasconia
Stephen Tsai writes that Arizona transfer Kaniela Tuipulotu will go on scholarship.
NCAA transfer rules require Tuipulotu to redshirt this season. But Tuipulotu admittedly could not afford to pay his tuition and school expenses.And Tsai writes that Saddleback CC linebacker Akoni Lasconia is expected to join UH in January.
"I didn't qualify for any of the Pell grants," he said. "I was thinking of taking a year off and working."
But those plans changed yesterday when Tuipulotu received — and accepted — a football scholarship from the Warriors.
Now Tuipulotu will be able to practice with the Warriors and attend classes.
"I was worried about missing school," Tuipulotu said. "This is a big relief. I felt good when I got the call. I was stoked."
