"I like the weather out there. It's around the bay so I can go surfing."
"I liked the atmosphere. And they are up and coming. It's a good fit for me."

Lonie made official visits to Cal, Ohio State, Michigan, Illinois, and Louisville before he made his decision. He will begin school at Cal in January.
