Toloa'i Ho Ching

[BigCougsFan]

BYU has a reputation for having mature players. BYU also has a reputation of having many return missionaries. People believe our players are so mature because they are return missionaries.

I beg to differ... We have mature players coming in before they even go on their missions. Something about the Gospel that matures individuals(not just players). Toloa'i is a perfect example.

(I know this interview is a little long, but it's still great to see his point of view and unselfish attitude)

The more I read about this dude... The more I'm bummed we won't be seeing him play for a few years...

A’i (pronounced Ah-ee), as he is known to his friends, underwent surgery on his knee in April and plans to gray shirt in 2010 and then serve a mission before starting his playing career at BYU.

BUT... The more impressed I am with his willingness and want to serve a mission.
