A look at the 2022-23 Washington Huskies:
- The Returners:ย Jamal Beyย headlinesย the group as the leading returning scorer from a season ago and enteredย this season with 119 steals, just outside of the top-10 in program history.ย Cole Bajemaย andย PJ Fuller IIย played in all 32 games in 2021-22 whileย Langston Wilsonย factored into 28.ย
- Experienced Transfers:ย The Huskies added four transfers from Division I schools --ย Keion Brooks Jr.ย (Kentucky),ย Franck Kepnangย (Oregon),ย Braxton Meahย (Fresno State) andย Noah Williamsย (Washington State) -- that bring with them 10 combined years of high-level playing experience. The foursome enters the year having played in 278 games (112 starts).ย

Yates is the 37th-ranked prospect on ESPN's Top-100. The signing continues the momentum built from last year's class, which includes the No. 1 rated player in the state of Washington, Tyler Linhardt (Seattle, Wash./King's HS) and guard Keyon Menifield Jr. (Mount Morris, Mich./Phoenix [Ariz.] Prep).
- Head Coachย Mike Hopkinsย (92-80 at UW/6th season):ย Hopkinsย is a two-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year, winning the honor in each of his first two seasons with the Huskies as he led UW to back-to-back 20 win seasons with postseason appearances each year, including the NCAA Second Round in 2019.
