He first attended junior college then played for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors from 1972-74. The 1st-team All-American was drafted in the 1st round of the 1974 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks; 1978. He was an NBA Champ with the Washington Bullets and a member of the 1972 Olympic team. Reggie Carter, played at Long Island Lutheran High School in Brookville/NYC and played his freshman season at Hawaii but transferred and played at St. John's from 1975–1976. Drafted in the 2nd round by the New York Knicks in 1979 and played 2 seasons. Reggie Carter passed away on December 24, 1999. Victor Kelly, born in the Bronx, starred at Benjamin Franklin High School. The 5'8" backcourt wizard was a 3-time MVP of the famous New York vs. Philadelphia Summer All-Star Game. He transferred from USC and holds the University of Hawaii record for most free throws made in a single game without missing. (13-13). Melton Werts was born in Philadelphia, PA, but a familiar figure in New York leagues like The Rucker. He attended the famed Laurinburg Institute in North Carolina through the New York Pipeline. The 6'9" center"spent so much time playing in the NYC summer leagues he was often mistakenly claimed by New York hoops historians and journalists as a New Yorker. He is still the all-time leading rebounder in Hawaii history with 1,098 career rebounds. Keith Fryson, was born and raised in Harlem, and is a NYC playgroud legend. The 1st-Team All-City selection at Brandeis High School in Manhattan was physical, but smooth, fluid 6'5" swingman who brought his magical scoring flair to Hawaii after two seasons of junior college. He was recently inducted into the Real Harlem Basketball Players Hall of Fame! Vern Gibson: A 6'2" freshman guard from New York who arrived at Hawaii for the 1973–1974 season. Vernon was a highly talented and versatile New York backcourt entertainer who was affectionately given the nickname "Showboat" on the playgrounds of New York. His flashy, fluid moves to the basketball and crowd-pleasing passes and defensive plays, were a far cry from his low-key, easy going demeaner. After only 8 games at the University of Hawaii, Gibson quietly walked away from the game, pursuing a successful career in finance, I am told. Keith Bowman: A physical 6'8", 200-pound junior forward from New York, N.Y. who played on the 1973–1974 team. Bowman originally played his high school ball at Savannah High School before transferring to UH via Southwestern Louisiana. The NYC - Hawaii express is still operating today!
