The Washington Huskies men's basketball team, led by head coach Danny Sprinkle, are heavily involved in the NCAA transfer portal as they look to rebuild their roster. The Huskies are targeting several top guard prospects, including Mikey Lewis from St. Mary's and Parker Friedrichsen from Davidson, who have both scheduled visits to the Montlake campus.

Why it matters

Rebuilding the backcourt is a top priority for the Huskies after losing key contributors from last season's squad. Securing high-scoring, experienced guards from the transfer portal could provide an immediate boost to the team's offense and help them compete in the Pac-12 conference.

The details

Mikey Lewis, a 6'3" sophomore guard from St. Mary's, averaged 13.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game last season. He is considered one of the top available guards in the portal. Parker Friedrichsen, a 6'4" junior from Davidson, put up 10.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game as a junior. He previously spent two seasons at Wake Forest before transferring to Davidson.

  • Mikey Lewis is scheduled to visit the Washington campus soon, according to reports.
  • Parker Friedrichsen is visiting the Washington campus this weekend.
