STOCKTON, Calif. – A mix of local, national and international talent will be joining the men's basketball program in 2025-26 as Pacific head coach Dave Smart announced the signing of Kellen Hampton, Emmanuel Manyoun and Alem Fejzic.
Hampton, from Hayward, Calif., will arrive at Pacific as a freshman. He's a three-star recruit according to both ESPN and 247sports and plays for Moreau Catholic. He was the league's MVP last season and was an All-State First-Team selection.
The 6-7, 205, forward was being recruited by Arizona State, Cal, Creighton and Mississippi State and more.
"I absolutely love Kellen's game. He's one of the premier basketball players in the class of 2025," Smart said. "A Northern California native, Kellen is a player that can score at all three levels. He will be an impact player from the start and also allows us to build recruiting ties in the Bay Area."
Manyuon, from Austin, Minn., is currently a sophomore at Garden City CC and has the team off to a 4-1 start. The 6-3, 180, guard is shooting .519 from the field with three double-digit scoring performances.
Manyoun spent his freshman season at Cloud County CC. He averaged 10.2 points per game with 17 double-figure scoring outings. In high school, Manyoun averaged 19.2 points per game and was an All-Conference selection at Austin HS.
"Emmanuel is exactly the type of player we want in our program. He makes so many winning plays it becomes contagious to everyone around him. He will make an immediate impact on our program," Smart said. "His ability to impact the game in so many ways will take us to another level."
Fejzic, from Sarajevo, Bosnia, is currently playing his freshman season at Frank Phillips College. The 6-3, 190, guard averages 10.0 points per game and is shooting .512 from three-point range.
"We are thrilled to add Alem to our program. Alem plays for one of the premier junior colleges in the country in Frank Philips and quickly has proven himself as one of the best shooters in all of junior college. He is an extremely hard worker and we believe he will make an immediate impact for us," Smart said.
In high school, Fejzic was one of the best shooters in the history of Potters House Christian Academy. He shot over 40 percent from the three-point line and made a career-best 13 threes in a game. Fejzic also shot over 90 percent from the free throw line.
