Chino WR/DB Amadi commits to Hawaii
Promise Amadi verbally committed to the University of Hawaii during his trip to Manoa, Hawaii this past weekend, according to Chino head coach Matt McCain. The 6-foot, 180-pound senior issued a verbal commitment to New Mexico State during his visit to Las Cruces N.M., the weekend previous to his official visit to Hawaii.
"What happed was the coaches (at New Mexico State) told him it was okay if he just wanted to give them a soft commitment," McCain said. "So he said OK."
Amadi, who also had offers from Montana and Sacramento State, was also receiving interest from Arizona State as of Thursday. ASU is recruiting Amadi as a cornerback but Hawaii will allow him to play his preferred position of receiver.
"He said he had a great time in Hawaii and that's where he wants to go," McCain said. "He really enjoyed the coaches and they said he'd have a good chance to start as a freshman."
In helping the Chino football program to a drastic turnaround from 0-10 in 2009 to 11-1 in 2010, Amadi had a spectacular senior season on both sides of the ball. He caught 46 passes for 790 yards and 10 touchdowns in addition to averaging over 10 yards per carry on the way to 503 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. He also had five interceptions as s cornerback.
