Coach Danny Sprinkle has done an impressive job in the transfer portal to rebuild what was a barren Washington Huskies roster following the departure of Mike Hopkins. After securing four-star guards Zoom Diallo and Jase Butler from the high school ranks and Mehki Mason and DJ Davis from the portal, Sprinkle is targeting one final piece in the backcourt.
It appears that piece could be graduate transfer Luis Kortright from the University of Rhode Island, who announced on Thursday that he is in the middle of an official visit to Washington.
After spending his first three years at Quinnipiac, Kortright transferred to Rhode Island before the 2023-24 season, where he quickly turned into an impact player on both ends of the floor. He averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game while leading the Rams in total assists (115) and steals (25).
If he were to commit to Washington, he would provide a veteran presence that would take a lot of pressure off Diallo. Kortright could be asked to step in as a starter and would give Sprinkle a deep, experienced backcourt as he attempts to take the Huskies back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019.
