Lakalaka, Taliulu change minds, commit to Warriors

Steven Lakalaka, a Punahou running back, and Taylor Taliulu, a Kamehameha safety, have reversed field on their prior oral commitments to other schools and gave the University of Hawaii their commitments Sunday.

Lakalaka, a Star-Advertiser all-state first-team running back, had orally committed to UCLA last summer and refused to budge despite a sizable number of interested BCS programs. Taliulu, an all-state second-team safety, was an early commit to Washington State.
