Hunter-Jack Madden, from Sydney to Moscow

The University of Idaho men’s basketball team added a new freshman to the team in April. The new freshman is six-foot-one guard Hunter-Jack Madden.

Madden played for Shore School in Sydney, Australia in high school, and last year he played as a Developmental Player for the Sydney Kings. A Developmental Player is a player that is associated with a professional team in order to improve their skills, but they do not play professionally.

Madden’s decision to come play in Moscow for the Vandals was influenced by the UI men’s basketball coaching staff.

“The coaching staff were very upfront, and they gave me an opportunity,” Madden said.
