SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Head coach
Chris Gerlufsen and the University of San Francisco men's basketball program is proud to announce the commitment of UC San Diego transfer Toni Rocak.
"Our staff and program couldn't be more excited about the addition of Toni Rocak," said head coach
Chris Gerlufsen. "Toni is a proven, veteran player who has experienced a high level of success throughout his college career. He's a versatile, skilled forward who we expect to provide an immediate lift to our team from a leadership and production standpoint, as we prepare for the 2022-2023 season."
Prior to coming to the Hilltop, Rocak was an All-Conference forward at UCSD as the big man earned All-Big West Honorable Mention honors last season after leading the Tritons in scoring (15.1 points per game) and rebounding (6.5 rebounds per game). In 2021-22, the versatile big man earned Big West Player of the Week twice and scored a career-high 34 points in UCSD's win over UC Santa Barbara on Dec. 30 -- the highest single game point total for any Big West player in 2021-22.
As a junior in 2020-21, Rocak was recognized as the top sixth man in the Big West by HoopsHD.com as he led UCSD in scoring (12.8 points per game) and rebounding (5.3 rebounds per game) while also finishing fifth in the conference in field goal percentage (51.9 percent).
Before joining the Tritons, the 6'9" forward appeared in 55 games in two years at Regis College. Graduating in 2018 from Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H., Rocak was an All-NEPSAC Class A First Team selection after averaging 15 points, six rebounds and nearly three assists per game during his senior season while shooting 50 percent from the field.
Originally born in Zagreb, Croatia, Toni grew up in Geneva, Switzerland and is fluent in four languages. He is the son of Sanda and Ante Rocak and has one brother Niko, who also plays basketball at UC Santa Barbara.
