Big roster turnover in the Washington Huskies basketball program
The Huskies had five players come in via the transfer portal
Langston Wilson
Langston Wilson, a four-star junior college player in Pennsylvania, signed with the Huskies on April 30. He was 24/7’s number one power forward and number two overall coming out of junior college. Last October, he committed to Alabama, but it did work out. Instead, the 6-9 junior forward will be on Washington’s front line with Nate Roberts, Riley Sorn, and some arriving freshmen.
Terrell Brown Jr.
A standout out at Seattle University, Terrell Brown Jr. was a two-time All-WAC selection. He transferred to Arizona last season but didn’t get the minutes he was used to playing. So Brown decided to come home to play his senior year for the Huskies. The shooting guard will be a big part of Washington’s backcourt rotation.
Emmitt Mathews Jr.
After three years at West Virginia University, the Tacoma native comes back to his home state to finish his college career. With the Mountaineers, Emmitt Matthews improved each year. For the 2020-21 season, he had career highs in points (7.7) and rebounds (4.0).
P.J. Fuller
Last week, the Washington Huskies announced the return of another player from the area. Junior guard P.J. Fuller is on the way from TCU. He averaged 5.7 and 5.8 points per game during his first two seasons.
Daejon Davis
The final member of the 2021 transfer class is Daejon Davis. He returns home to Seattle as a graduate transfer after a four-year career at Stanford. Davis averaged double-digit points in three of his four seasons with the Cardinal.
The last time he faced Washington, Stanford won 79-61, and Davis scored 12 points. It’s good to have him on the Huskies side now. He’ll team up with Brown and senior Jamal Bey to provide the Washington Huskies with a veteran backcourt.
