(HONOLULU, HI) - The Hawaii Pacific Men's Basketball Team is excited to announce the signing of Jonas Visser. Visser comes to the Sharks as a graduate transfer from Southern Nazarene University. He will have one year of eligibility left. 

The 6'10 forward, originally from Amsterdam, Netherlands, spent the first three years of his collegiate career at the University of San Francisco, where he was a teammate with current Sharks forward Maj Dusanic. Visser appeared in 36 games for the Dons before transferring to SNU. At SNU, Visser made an immediate impact on the court. He started all 30 games for the Crimson Storm. He scored 305 points, good for 10.2 points per game. He grabbed a total of 139 rebounds, averaging 4.6 per game. He also shot 63% from the field, good for the top spot on the SNU roster and ranked 2^nd in the Great American Conference. 

When asked about his decision to join the Sharks, Visser had this to say, "I chose HPU because of my great relationship with Coach Nak, the other coaches, and the team. Coach Nak did a great job in his first year and it's only going up from here. HPU has something special going on and I wanted to be a part of it!" 

Head Coach Jesse Nakanishi added, "I have no doubt Jonas will hit the ground running here at HPU. His leadership, work ethic, experience, mindset and skillset are exactly what we were looking for to anchor our team in a championship run. We couldn't be more excited to have Jonas join our family!"
