HONOLULU - University of Hawai`i men's basketball head coach Bob Nash finalized his first recruiting class after Ji Xiang of Zhengzhou, China, signed a scholarship agreement to join the Rainbow Warriors this season. Ji, who will enter as a true freshman, is the sixth player to sign with UH and the eighth newcomer for Nash's inaugural season.
Ji, a 6-foot-10, 238-pound post, attended the United States Basketball Academy in Blue River, Ore., for the past two years. He was one of more than 20 Chinese boys who attended the year-round training facility founded by former UH head coach Bruce O'Neil.
Last summer, Ji attended the Nike All-Asia Camp, of which former UH guard and Denver Nuggets assistant Jarinn Akana served as a coach. In addition to UH, Ji was recruited by Oregon, Oregon State, Georgetown, and Fresno State.
Ji, who averaged nearly 20 points and 12 rebounds per game at Zhengzhou No. 11 Middle School, is believed to be the first player from China to play for the UH men's basketball program.
"We're very fortunate to be able to get a player of Ji's ability so late," Nash said. "I saw him play at a tournament in Houston this summer and he impressed me with his style of play. He fits the mode of a multi-dimensional player we're looking for - he can score on the perimeter as well as with his back to the basket. He's more athletic than one might think and we're very excited about his potential."
Ji joins seven other student-athletes who committed for this season - Bill Amis (Pratt CC), Paul Campbell (Arkansas-Fort Smith), Adhar Mayen (Hill College), Conrad Fitzgerald (Pendleton School), Kareem Nitoto (San Leandro HS), Beau Albrechtson (Kaimuki HS), and Gary Satterwhite (Radford HS).
The Rainbow Warriors also welcome back returning starters Bobby Nash, Matt Gibson, and P.J. Owsley and reserves Riley Luettgerodt, Stephen Verwers, and Alex Veit. UH begins practice Oct. 12 in preparation for its season-opener Nov. 9 against San Diego.

Shang Ping, who formerly played for Beijing Aoshen, and played at Illinois Central Community College last year, will be playing for the University of Nebraska in the Big 12. Shang, who stands 6-10, is a highly skilled big man who not only puts points on the board inside, but has the ability to step out, and knock down shots from the perimeter. Shang was also recruited by Oklahoma State University.
尚平，前奧神隊員，去年一直在Illinois Central社區大學打球，將會為Big 12聯盟的University of Nebraska（應該也是1級吧）打球。他是個6尺10寸，技術出色的大個子，不僅可以在內線得分，也可以在外線投籃。同時他也收到了Oklahoma State University的邀請。
