The University of Hawai’i basketball team will be gaining some size in the form of Gibson Johnson, a 6-foot-8 forward at Salt Lake Community College.
Johnson announced that he is committed to playing for the Warriors, shortly after apparently dropping North Carolina State from his consideration.
Johnson averaged 12.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, while shooting 55.1 percent from the field as a sophomore last season at Salt Lake CC. He was a starter on a Bruins team that won the junior college national championship in March.
Johnson played two seasons at Salt Lake CC, and will have two seasons of eligibility at UH.
