The University of Hawai’i basketball team has scored one of its most unique recruits in recent memory.
Sai Tummala, a 6-foot-6 forward, said he will transfer from Arizona State to play for the Warriors as a senior in the 2015-16 season. He will not be your ordinary transfer, and not just because he is the first basketball player to transfer to UH as a graduate student.
Tummala graduated from ASU with a degree in biology last month, and thus will be immediately eligible to play, per NCAA rules for graduate students. And he didn’t just graduate; he graduated with honors – a perfect 4.
