Arizona commit planning trips

Naijiel Hale is not looking around, especially since he just committed to Arizona in early July, but the three-star cornerback is planning other official visits this fall.
The Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco standout said he's planning to visit Utah, Washington State and, of course, Arizona and then he'll figure out his two other trips soon.

"I'm going to take all five," Hale said. "It's just to check them out. I'm pretty much locked in with Arizona."
Akron, Arizona State, Boise State, Cal, Nebraska, Nevada, San Jose State, Utah and Washington State have also offered Hale, but he committed to Arizona early last month and has not looked back after his decision.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound cornerback was especially excited recently when Los Angeles Salesian teammates Marquis Ware and Jamardre Cobb committed to the Wildcats.
Hale, rated as the No. 29 cornerback in the 2014 class by Rivals.com, said he knew that the two four-stars were going to commit to Arizona but wanted to make sure it was going to happen as things got closer.
"I knew it was happening and I was making sure nothing changed," Hale said. "It's for sure now.
"It's great because I played with them in Pop Warner too so it's like I'm going to college with my boys. It's going to be great."
Hale, the No. 34 prospect in the California state rankings, and his St. John Bosco team opens its season this weekend against Compton (Calif.) Dominguez. A big Week 2 showdown against Fresno (Calif.) Clovis North is next.
