Washington State University (WSU) is facing a major overhaul of its basketball roster as guard Jerone Morton announced his entry into the transfer portal on April 8, 2023. Morton, who started 29 of 32 games last season, averaged 7.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, shooting 44% from the field and 38% from three-point range. He becomes the 10th player to leave the Cougars this offseason, joining a list that includes several regular starters. The team is also losing point guard Adria Rodriguez, who is returning to Spain for a professional contract, and forward Simon Hildebrandt, who has exhausted his eligibility. This marks a challenging period for WSU, which has now seen 11 departures and will need to rebuild its entire starting lineup for the second consecutive year. The previous offseason also saw significant losses, and the Cougars are now left with limited roster options, including walk-on guard Dio Blakely and forward Dominik Robinson, who redshirted last season. The coaching staff, led by David Riley, faces the daunting task of reconstructing the team amidst these departures.
