Two years ago, Bryce Canda had exactly one offer to play college basketball, and it was from a school in Hawai’i … the University of Hawai’i at Hilo.
Canda’s official signing this week with the University of Hawai’i at Manoa – the only NCAA Division I program in the state – shows just how much the 6-foot-4, 195-pound point guard has progressed.
“It’s ironic that the only school that wanted him out of high school was the University of Hawai’i-Hilo, and now here he is at the University of Hawai’i,” said Kumbeno Memory, who is Canda’s trainer and AAU coach for the I-5 Elite basketball club in Portland, Oregon.
