Washington Huskies Now Have Three New Players

The Washington Huskies men's basketball 

basketball team has two new player 

since the last time I reported. They lost one

as well as we aren't surprised.

Freshman Hannes Steinbach who had

a great season for the Huskie declared

for the NBA. He will likely be a lottery 

pick. Too bad the Sonics aren't back

on as of yet.  On professional level 

the Seattle Storm have begun practices.

As far as the Storm goes Sue Bird is

part of the WNBA broadcast team.

I am sure you heard about her break-up.

Last week the Huskies signed former 

Gonzaga forward Steele Venters to the

roster. On Monday announced that

Ryan Beasley a point guard who the 

Huskies need signed  on too. Beasley 

played three years at San Francisco 

and last year was WCC all first team. 

Last season he averaged  13.6 points 

a game and four assets. 

The Huskies have now eight scholarship 

players. A team is allowed  15 players total. 

Tuesday April 21 is the deline to declare

for the transfer portal though no deadline.

Most college teams start the season 

mostly playing ten players however

when conference play starts in Dec

or January they go down to eight  or

nine who play regularly.  Wesley Yates III

is the primary regular player coming 

back to the Huskies. He and Beasley 

should tantem in the backcourt. 

Nathan Sommerville who was a 

transfer over last season did start 

a few games last season averaged

4.5 points a game and 2.6 rebounds.

The Huskies are hoping for a big 

improvement from him.

Nikola Dzepina from Serbia came over 

to the Huskies in December played in

14 game  is listed at.  6'10. With potential 

he could play a lot next season. 

Jasir Rencher a freshman plan in only

eight games last year is listed as a

forward for the Huskies at 6'5.  

Mady Traore is a power forward at 6'11

out of Paris France.  He played at New Mexico Sate and   Maryland. How much 

playing time  at Washington we will see. 

It will be interesting to see who the

Huskies will pick up over the next few

months. Whoever else the Huskies 

will pickup will see where they land 

as a team next season. Sprinkle fate

as the coach is in question too. 

Ten teams in the  Big Ten made the 

NCAA tournament and Michigan won

it all.  The Huskies need to be better 

than at least one of those teams. 

Go Dawgs.
