Football: Kahuku's Siilata says he didn't commit to Beavers
Back from his weekend visit to Oregon State, lineman Anthony Siilata isn't feeling too well.

But it has nothing to do with the gut-wrenching decision Siilata must make in the next two days.

Siilata was too ill to make it to school on Monday, he said, but summoned up enough energy for a quick telephone conversation.

The lineman from Kahuku HIgh in Hawaii said he did not commit to the Beavers during his time in Corvallis. He's trying to decide between Utah and Oregon State.

"I'm still thinking about it," he said. "No commitment yet."

Siilata traveled to the mainland with teammate Benji Kemoeatu, and said he was "pretty sure" that Kemoeatu didn't commit, either.

"Both of us probably won't decide until signing day," he said.

Signing day is Wednesday, of course.

Siilata, who is called "Ants" by his famiily and friends, according to his father, Ailaoa, said the teammates had fun on the trip and said the OSU campus was more beautiful than he thought it would be.

He also noted that "there was no pressure at all" from the OSU coaches for a commitment.
