Christian getting close to deciding

Sacramento (Calif.) Kennedy defensive back Steven Christian took his second official visit this past weekend to Hawaii. The talented corner had previously visited Nevada and will take one more visit this coming weekend before he makes his decision.

Christian, 6-0, 170 pounds gave an early commitment to Stanford last summer before both party's decided to go in a different direction. The defensive back opened things up and visited Nevada back in September and checked out Hawaii this past weekend.

"I had a great trip, I really liked it there a lot," Christian said. "I felt very comfortable and Hawaii is my top school right now. From the time I got there, I really felt like I belonged. The players treated me great, like it was one big family and the coaches were great with me as well.

"I love the whole community there. Everyone is so supportive of the sports teams and you can tell that Hawaii football is a really big deal there. The game atmosphere was another big highlight. They were down to Washington by 21 early in the game and I thought they were going to get blown out but they never panicked and were able to come all the way back.

"When they started to rally, the crowd really got behind them and it was just a great experience to be there for that. On Sunday, I met with Coach Jones and he offered me a scholarship. I really like Hawaii a lot but I'm going to take one last visit to Villanova this weekend and then when I get back, I'll make a decision. Right now, it's between Hawaii, Nevada and Villanova and Hawaii is my top school at the moment."
