This coming season will be one of rebuilding for Washington and Washington State. Graduations, suspensions, and transfers have left both teams picking up the pieces and starting to reconstruct their programs from the ground up. Even though both must rebuild, each will do so in completely different manners. Washington State possesses a solid foundation of upperclassmen, but must find a new leader in wake of DaVonte Lacy's departure while the Huskies must focus on a longterm rebuilding project beginning with their excellent incoming recruiting class.
Washington
Departures: Nigel Williams-Goss (Transfer), Robert Upshaw (Dismissed from team/NBA Draft), Shawn Kemp Jr.
