Nine fresh faces will round out the 2022-23 University of Hawai‘i at Hilo men’s basketball roster.
Coach Kaniela Aiona is adding seven transfers and two freshmen to squad, with five returnees from a season ago. The nine newcomers replace nine departures from last year’s team, three of them to graduation.
“We have a lot of new faces in this year’s recruiting class,” Aiona said in a press release. “This group has a solid mix of skill sets and experience. We needed to bring in a large recruiting class so we wanted to bring in a little bit of everything. I’m excited about the guys we have added and how they will mesh with the returners.”
