Last Time Out
The Huskies won the Paycom Wooden Legacy by defeating Saint Mary's (RV) 68-64 in overtime on Thanksgiving night. Keion Brooks Jr. had 14 points and 11 rebounds en route to being named tournament MVP and PJ Fuller II made a game-tying shot to force overtime before clinching the championship. Game recap
The Team
Graduate student Jamal Bey is the leading returning scorer and ranks in the program's top-10 in career steals. The Huskies added four transfers from Division I schools -- Keion Brooks Jr. (Kentucky), Franck Kepnang (Oregon), Braxton Meah (Fresno State) and Noah Williams (Washington State) -- that bring with them 10 combined years of high-level playing experience. The foursome entered the year having played in 278 games (112 starts). Returners Cole Bajema and PJ Fuller II played in all 32 games in 2021-22 while Langston Wilson factored into 28.
Signing Day
Four-star recruit Wesley Yates III (Beaumont, Texas/Beaumont United) signed a National Letter of Intent on Nov. 16, announcing his commitment to Washington. Yates is the 37th-ranked prospect on ESPN's Top-100. The signing continues the momentum built from last year's class, which includes the No. 1 rated player in the state of Washington, Tyler Linhardt (Seattle, Wash./King's HS) and guard Keyon Menifield Jr. (Mount Morris, Mich./Phoenix [Ariz.] Prep).
Head Coach Mike Hopkins (94-81 at UW/6th season)
Hopkins is a two-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year, winning the honor in each of his first two seasons with the Huskies as he led UW to back-to-back 20 win seasons with postseason appearances each year, including the NCAA Second Round in 2019. Hopkins has coached four McDonald's All-Americans and has mentored five players that have been selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. During his 22 years as an assistant at Syracuse, Hopkins was a part of teams that reached the NCAA Tournament 16 times including the 2003 National Championship team, four Final Four teams, five Elite Eights and ten Sweet 16s.
