Australian pipeline opens with two on UH roster

From the day he was announced as the new head coach of the University of Hawai’i basketball team, Eran Ganot talked about establishing a pipeline of players from Australia.

The construction of the pipeline has apparently started, as the 2015-16 roster will include two players from Down Under: Jack Purchase and Jakob Cornelisson.

Purchase, a 6-foot-8 forward, is a known newcomer. His transfer to UH from Auburn was announced in June.

Cornelisson, a 6-3 freshman guard, is a new addition who arrived on the UH campus last week without much fanfare.
