How did we miss this pickup? Zane Johnson to Hawaii

Several of you have informed PTW that Bob Nash has landed a second transfer -- this one a backcourter. This makes a lot of sense if Nash feels good about his group for 2009-2010 because he loses six seniors after the upcoming season and having two redshirt transfers, rusty but familiar withe system -- should be a boon in 2010-2011.

Dayton Morinaga has a writeup. So does Brian McInnis.

Here's a pro/con take on Johnson's move from the Arizona student newspaper.

Here's Bruce Pascoe with some background on Johnson's departure from Arizona.

Our take: Johnson will benefit playing alongside a teammate or two who requires doubleteams and draws defenders away from their individual assignments. Translation: he isn't a creator but give him space outside and you will pay the price.
