Warrior Beat: Hawaii basketball lands guard Justin Webster
The UH basketball team today received a commitment from a Dallas-area high school guard.
Justin Webster, who is 6 feet 3, averaged 16.2 points per game this season for Hargrave Military Academy, a boarding school in Chatham, Va.
Webster and his parents recently took an official recruiting visit to Hawaii.

Webster is set to enroll at UH for the July 1 start of Summer Session II.
“I chose UH because Coach (Eran) Ganot has a great coaching staff,” Webster told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. “They’ve been to where I want to go. They’ve produced a lot of good players. They’re all about putting in the work, and that’s one thing about me. I like to work hard.”
He is the third scholarship member of UH’s 2019 recruiting class. The other commits are Junior Madut, a 6-foot-5 guard from Eastern Florida College, and former Kahuku guard Jessiya Villa, who recently returned from a two-year church mission. Kamereon Ng, a Saint Francis School graduate who was the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s 2018-19 Player of the Year, is joining as a preferred walk-on.
The Warriors have two remaining available scholarships.
Welcome to the ‘ohana, Justin, and thanks for the long-overdue news, Stephen.
Webster appears to be a talented, high-character kid. Securing a commitment from a recent prep-school graduate this late in the process is huge for Ganot and the program. Well-done!
Thank you for choosing to become a Rainbow Warrior Justin!
His father Jeff , is the 3rd leading scorer all-time at Oklahoma and he runs Nike ProSkills .
Webster is a good omen, name-wise. Tony Webster was going to the NBA before his injury. Best Larry Little recruit.
Welcome. Thank you for choosing Hawaii. We need you.
Dallas? Does he know Brocke Stepteau?
Perfect fit. Thank you Justin. Going be interesting 2019-20 season. Just one more piece now. Can do. Hawaii.
Awsome news. Whew thought Hawaii was out. After reading a story on what the father was saying.
sackkabooya: That “piece” could be a recently qualified 6-9 wing who could get a visit here. Problem is, his offers are blowing up: Creighton, Texas A&M, Iowa, DePaul, Washington State, and he’s reportedly hearing from the likes of Oregon and Virginia Tech. Odds are long, but who knows?🤞
#8:
if can, can — if no can, no can — would be very nice if he selected UH.
biggest unknown is the progress or lack thereof of the 3 current 7 footers — rumors only one can or is near being a really good player — size matters, but if one can get 3 6’7″ players like Michael Jordan size becomes moot!
“Hey, hey, hey hey!! Big Albert is here’!
Wow, little bit chicken skin when he revealed the “H”! Mahalo Justin.
