PULLMAN, Wash. – A familiar face is headed to the Palouse as Washington State men's basketball head coach Kyle Smith announced the official signing of Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year Kim Aiken Jr. (Redlands, Calif.). Aiken Jr. comes to the Cougs from Eastern Washington where he spent three seasons playing for the Eagles. The athletic wing joins Tyrell Roberts, who signed a few weeks prior, as official transfers joining the Cougs for the 2021-22 season.
"We are excited to have Kim joining us in Pullman," said Smith. "We have had to game plan and prepare for him the last two years and it has not been easy, so we know we are getting a good one.
