Rainbow basketball team adds 2 Division I transfers
Hawaii gets players from Arizona and Duquesne
POSTED: 02:49 p.m. HST, Jun 17, 2009
The University of Hawaii men’s basketball team announced the signing of two Division I transfers to complete its recruiting before the 2009-10 season.
Zane Johnson, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from the University of Arizona, and Aleksandar Milovic, a 6-foot-7 swingman from Duquesne, fill the Rainbow Warriors’ last remaining scholarships this summer.
Johnson (6-foot-5, 205 pounds) and Milovic (6-7, 220) will have to sit out
the upcoming season because of transfer rules, but will have two and three
years of eligibility remaining afterward, respectively.
As a sophomore, Johnson averaged 4.6 points in 19.1 minutes per game and shot 36-for-91 (39.6 percent) on 3-pointers for the Wildcats. The Phoenix native was named to Sports Illustrated’s Hot 100 Seniors (No. 83) coming out of Thunderbird High School.
Milovic, of Cetinje, Montenegro, played a total of 40 minutes in 2008-09 as
a reserve for the Dukes - including a season-high 19 minutes against Pitt.
He averaged 21.1 points and 8.2 rebounds as a senior in high school.
The two newcomers join point guards Jeremy Lay and Dwain Williams and center Douglas Kurtz as the Rainbows’ five signees for the 2009-10 class.
