MOSCOW, Idaho – Idaho men's basketball has announced the signing of Hunter Madden, who will join the Vandals' team for the 2020-2021 season.
 
"We are thrilled to add Hunter to our program. He has proven to be a high-level competitor both from his time leading his team at Shore School to this past season playing with the Sydney Kings," said head coach Zac Claus. "He is an offensive playmaker and we believe that he is going to bring a positive energy to our group. Hunter is going to thrive here at Idaho both in the classroom and on the court."
 
Madden is a 6-1 guard from Sydney, Australia. During his senior season at Shore School, Madden led his team in scoring, rebounding, and assists, averaging 24.7 ppg, 8.1 rpg, and 4.5 apg.

"It has been a pleasure watching Hunter grow and develop into a special young man. His competitive drive and dedication to continually improve both on the court and in the classroom has been a joy to watch," said Shore School head coach Anthony Separovich. "Hunter is a high character young man and I look forward to seeing him continue to flourish at the University of Idaho."
 
Madden also played for the Sydney Kings as a Development Player during the 2019-20 season.
 
"The Sydney Kings are thrilled that Hunter has committed to play for the Idaho Vandals," said Kings CEO/GM Chris Pongrass.

Hunter has worked extremely hard to reach this point and we are excited for the impact that he will have on the Vandals' program."
