Yes, Samoans from Hawaii.
Very, very strong Christian family.
The Whole family moved to Alabama when Tua signed up with Saban.
Taulia went to HS in Alabama after the family moved and took a (never done anything) HS to a state championship.
Wonderful family. They struck a chord with Alabama fans and are real popular here.
Thanks.
One of our younger relatives went De La Salle High School out here on the West Coast. He didn’t play football but got a couple of athlete letters in other sports.
A couple of years ago De La Salle High School got their butt beat by a Catholic School in Texas.
We ask our younger relative what happened.
He said the answer was simple, the other school had more good Samoans than his school did.
He was all ways in great shape, he said the Samoans who attended his high school were the best and the most driven athletes he had ever seen and great people.
...when Saban paid the family...
is a whole lot closer to the truth.
