The Washington Huskies rounded out their guard depth through the transfer portal on Friday morning with the addition of Rhode Island guard Luis Kortright.
The graduate transfer adds depth and experience to coach Danny Sprinkle’s backcourt and appears to be the final guard his staff will take on the 2024-25 roster.
“The system [at Washington] was a lot of ball screens, playing fast,” Kortright told Sam Lance of Zagsblog.com. “I played them when Coach Sprinkle was at Montana State. I just saw myself playing in that system, those are the things I see myself doing as far as having the freedom to score and create and be me.”
During his one season with Rhode Island, Kortright averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. He also led the team with 117 assists and 25 steals and should provide a spark whether he’s asked to start or come off the bench.

Sprinkle is building an exciting team and now that he’s rounded out his backcourt with a guard that can run the floor and distribute the ball effectively, he can turn his attention to filling out his frontcourt. [lawrence-related id=3314]
