The Washington State Cougars have hit the portal again, this time landing Tennessee transfer Justin Powell. Powell started his career at Auburn before transferring to Tennessee, and he now finds himself on the Palouse. Powell is the projected starting point guard, and his versatility offers the coaching staff a lot of options going forward.
Powell’s two-year statistical profile is funky, and it displays just how disparate his roles have been at each school. He committed to Auburn in 2020 ranked as an ESPN.com top 100 recruit, and at Auburn, he was tasked with being the secondary, and occasionally primary, initiator.
