Ronaiah Tuiasosopo YES another Samoan from California played an elaborate and cruel joke on Manti Te'o. Sooo messed up. A girl he cried and confessed his story to told an ESPN reporter. Ronaiah got a cousin to play "Lenaye Kekua" on the phone with Manti. EVERY night for several months???!!! I can't believe they did this to Manti. Naive boy from Laie who was the victim of a sick joke. Ronaiah played this same joke on someone else.

There are a lot of naive but good boys from Laie who never had girlfriends usually before their missions. I don't know Manti personally but that is the image he gives off. I'm sure he had MANY women throwing themselves at him. My cousin Inoke was a lot like that. He never had a girlfriend until AFTER his mission and he ended up marrying his first girlfriend. The beautiful Lilika who is Tongan and had a steady high school Samoan boyfriend. Inoke was in the bishopric at the Honolulu Institute ward near the University of Hawaii. He was the quarterback at the University of Hawaii but nowhere near Manti's talent. The year before he stepped into the position the quarterback had received national accolades. A tough position for Inoke BUT if ANYONE could play that role well it was him.

I know Manti is the type of person to handle this well... from what I've seen of his interviews. I hope and pray he gets some reprieve. I'm grateful I was raised in such a loving LDS Poly community in Hawaii. I'm on Manti's side no matter what BUT he has yet to disappoint me about anything.
