UH basketball team signs versatile 6-8 transfer from Arizona State
Marcus “MMA” Adams, a former 4-star basketball prospect who played for Arizona State this past season, is joining the University of Hawaii men’s basketball team. “I really like (the Rainbow Warriors’) style of play and their staff, and I thought it would be a great place for me to play,” Adams told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Adams signed a commitment contract with UH and has two years of NCAA eligibility remaining.
Adams, who is 6 feet 8, is a three-level scorer who can play the wing, stretch four or in the post. In his lone season with Cal State Northridge in 2024-25, Adams averaged 16. 5 points on 52.
6% shooting, including 39. 5% on 3s. That year, he scored 21 and 18 points in two victories over Hawaii.
Because of ailments, Adams played sparingly in Arizona State’s victory over UH last November. “When I played in the (Stan Sheriff Center), the fans were really into the game,” Adams recalled. “They were excited for their team.
They booed me like crazy (in 2025). They were really loud. Now I’m excited to play on their side.
