Less than a week after Noah Williams announced he’d be transferring from Washington State, the Seattle native has announced his new basketball home: the University of Washington.
There are few things more shocking than someone switching allegiances in this rivalry — the list is real short! — but Williams has always been his own guy, and through his three years in Pullman, he has remained a Seattle kid at heart. In that sense, it’s not really that shocking that he’d end up at UW. It’s also worth noting that fans’ concept of “loyalty” isn’t the same as players, who — as they should — act in their own best interest when choosing where to play.
