The Huskies have been busy in the transfer market. On top of adding Watts, UW has also brought in a transfer from San Francisco at the point guard position and a transfer from Gonzaga, showing the staff is committed to retooling the roster through proven college talent rather than relying solely on recruits.
These moves signal that the program is looking to compete right away next season. Bringing in multiple experienced players from other Power Conference programs gives the Huskies a chance to hit the ground running when the next season tips off.
What's Next for UW
With Watts now in the fold, the Huskies will continue to evaluate their roster and build toward the upcoming season. The addition of college-tested talent from programs like Texas Tech, San Francisco, and Gonzaga should give fans reason for optimism about what this team can do when everyone gets on the court together.
