Washington received disappointing but not unexpected news this afternoon when Pac-12 6th Person of the Year Koren Johnson told On3 Sports that he intends to enter the transfer portal. The sophomore guard averaged 11.1 points per game this season for the Huskies.
Washington’s season ended on Wednesday afternoon with an opening round loss in the Pac-12 tournament to USC. The Huskies still have a shot at an NIT berth due to the changes made to the tournament’s selection process but this announcement plus the circumstances around the team make it far from a certainty that UW would accept a bid.
