Washington has now made its second addition via the transfer portal this offseason as former West Virginia Mountaineer SF Emmitt Matthews Jr. committed to the Huskies. Last season as a junior Matthews started 25 games for West Virginia which earned a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament and averaged 7.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. He’ll have 3 years to play 2 for Washington.
The 6’7 Matthews was originally the 177th ranked recruit in the 247 Sports Composite coming out of Wilson HS in Tacoma. He originally committed to Connecticut but backed off that pledge in the spring after head coach Kevin Ollie was fired.
