James Jean-Marie understands why he is where he is right now – in a Waikiki hotel room by himself as part of the quarantine process that all people traveling into Hawai’i have to complete. It is only making him hungrier – literally and figuratively.
Jean-Marie is an incoming transfer to the University of Hawai’i basketball team. The 6-foot-8 forward played last season at the University of San Diego, and will have one season of eligibility with the Rainbow Warriors.
He arrived in Honolulu on Sunday after a long trip from Montreal, Canada, and is currently going through the mandated quarantine.
