"My plan is to come home and enroll in the fall," Lajola said by phone from Los Angeles today. "I think the team can be really good and I like the coach a lot. I want to be back home."
Lajola turned 18 in February. He has been away since transferring from 'Iolani to the Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida at the beginning of 2004. He was ranked second nationally in Boys' 14's then. At the end of last year, after three years of playing around the globe and studying online and at academies, he was 44th in the ITF World Combined Rankings.
