When the Washington Basketball team prepared for the 2017-2018 season, the team roster was glaringly shallow in the front court. One big man, 6-foot-11 Sam Timmins, stood out due to the sheer size on the team. Another big man, 6-foot-8 forward Noah Dickerson, stood out due to the incredible production – oftentimes against opponents with a distinct height advantage. Finally, a third big man, 6-foot-9 Hameir Wright, stood out as a third player who could come in as relief for either Timmins or Dickerson.
The 2018 recruiting class includes signficant talent to add to the team.
