Here's why Michael Carter III's transfer is one of the most vital moves of UW's offseason | The News Tribune

Freshman guard Michael Carter III's decision to transfer Monday is the latest and potentially most significant move in what's been an active offseason for the Washington Huskies.

The former O'Dea High star, who averaged 1.3 points over 7.4 minutes, becomes the second player to announce he's leaving the program. Sophomore guard Carlos Johnson is also leaving. The figure is expected to rise to three should sophomore guard Bituma Baruti choose to transfer. He played 17 games under Lorenzo Romar but did not feature a single game in Mike Hopkins' first season.

"After a lot of thought, consideration, and discussion with my family I feel that it's best I get my release and transfer from the University of Washington," Carter said in a release on Twitter.
