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.
