Eddie Stansberry is ready to take his shot at Division I basketball.

The 6-foot-3 sophomore guard recently helped shoot City College of San Francisco to a junior college state championship, the second in three years for the Rams. On Monday, he became the first known player to offer a spring commitment for Hawaii.

Stansberry, who has two years of eligibility remaining starting with the 2018-19 season, was CCSF’s second-leading scorer at 13 points per game, while hitting 104 3-pointers at a 42.8 percent clip for a 33-1 team. The Bay Area native took an official visit to the Manoa campus a little over a week ago, a trip that locked in UH.

“I just see myself fit in. I noticed that they might need that one role where they need a player that can hit shots, as well as take players off the dribble — the combo kind of guard,” Stansberry told the Star-Advertiser in a phone interview. “I’m assuming from talking to the coaches and other people, that (a knock-down shooter) is what they were looking for this year, and another reason why they were recruiting me. I know they’ve seen my percentages go up.”

That improved dramatically from his freshman season, when he shot 30 percent from long range and scored 9.8 points per game. CCSF shifted him to an off-ball role as a sophomore, which paid dividends combined with the work he’d put in on his shot.

Nearly 75 percent of his sophomore attempts came from beyond the arc, while he supplied 4.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Against San Diego City College for the CCCAA title, Stansberry supplied 21 points in the 82-72 win, leading coach Justin Labagh call him “basically the MVP of the championship game.” He was named to the all-tournament team, following up on all-state honors from the regular season.

Labagh compared Stansberry favorably to Quincy Smith, the former hard-nosed CCSF guard who became a three-year UH player and a starter on the Rainbow Warriors’ 2015-16 NCAA Tournament team.

“He’s a big-time shooter, he can defend multiple positions. He’s got the body to play Division I basketball right now,” Labagh said. “He’s as good a defender as Quincy, he’s probably a better offensive player. Same type of toughness. They’ll get some mileage out of him.”

Stansberry finished high school at Archbishop Riordan, just across the street from CCSF. He averaged 15.6 points his senior year and thought at the time he was ready for D-I, but realized during the ensuing offseason he had a lot of room for growth, especially after seeing the work ethic of his peers at the JUCO level.

UH was on him in earnest from September of his sophomore season.

“They’ve always stayed in contact, made it out to a couple practices, so I always felt that connection,” Stansberry said.

San Jose State had also offered a scholarship to Stansberry, who can sign as soon as April 11. A handful of other West Coast schools — Saint Mary’s, Utah State and Loyola Marymount — also expressed interest late.

He is the fourth UH commit for next season, joining fall signees Mate Colina, Owen Hulland and Dawson Carper. The previous three are 6 feet 11 or taller.

UH is believed to have one more scholarship to award to a new player or returning walk-on for next season.
