In a move that makes sense on a lot of levels, USC’s J’Raan Brooks is transferring to the University of Washington. The 6’9, 220 pound forward averaged 2.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in just over 8 minutes per game for last season’s underachieving Trojan squad as a true freshman. He was the 83rd ranked player in the class of 2018 per the 247 Sports composite rankings.
Brooks has obvious connections to the UW as he played his high school ball at local Garfield High and it was speculated that he was a heavy favorite to end up at Washington before the dismissal of Lorenzo Romar.
