The exodus of Washington men’s basketball players halted – perhaps momentarily – Sunday when David Crisp and Carlos Johnson announced they’re returning next season.
During the eight days since the Huskies hired new coach Mike Hopkins on March 19, six UW players, incoming recruits or verbally committed prospects have asked for their release or are reportedly looking at other schools.
Crisp and Johnson are the first Huskies who have publicly said they’re returning in 2017-18.
On Sunday afternoon Crisp tweeted: “Just a hometown kid tryna put on for my city. There’s unfinished business so I ain’t goin no where!
