UH signs Texas basketball player
Advertiser Staff
Vaidotas Peciukas, a 6-foot-6 guard from Weatherford College in Texas, has signed a national letter of intent to play for the University of Hawaii men's basketball team.Peciukas, originally from Joniskis, Lithuania, follows in footsteps of former Weatherford players who attended UH Nerijus Puida and Mindaugas Burneika.
"Vaidotas is a big-time scorer who has really good speed up and down the floor," UH coach Riley Wallace said. "He shoots the ball well from the perimeter and has great court awareness. He strikes me as a combination of Nerijus and Mindaugas; he runs the ball like Nerijus and shoots it like Mindaugas."
Peciukas joins Dane Dmitrovic, a 6-10, 205-pound forward, and Jason Carter, a 5-10 guard, as the UH recruits.
