Courtland Muldrew, who spent his freshman year with the Huskies last season, has joined the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
The Washington Huskies men's basketball team has spent most this offseason attempting to rebuild a roster that was down to six players.
The Huskies found them in need of re-tooling the roster after several players either ran out of eligibility or transferred out of the program.
One of the players who transferred from Washington, soon-to-be sophomore guard Courtland Muldrew, went through the entire portal window and most of May without joining a new team despite being an early entree into the portal.
On Saturday, Muldrew found his new home in the Atlantic Coach Conference (ACC).
According to a post on "X" from Sam Kayser (@KayserHoops), Muldrew has committed to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Muldrew will a part of the first roster for new head coach Scott Cross' first year at the helm of the Yellow Jackets. Cross was hired by Georgia Tech this offseason after coaching the Troy Trojans from 2019-26. Cross led the Trojans to the NCAA Tournament in the last two seasons.
Washington head coach Danny Sprinkle landed a commitment from Muldrew, who the 105th best overall player, 18th-best shooting guard and sixth-best player in Virginia, per the 247Sports composite.
Muldrew was one of 13 players Sprinkle brought in last offseason to help re-tool a roster that had just two returners from the coach's first season with the program. Those two players were guard Zoom Diallo and center Franck Kepnang, who both transferred to Kentucky this offseason.
There was expectation, due to the amount of talent and veterans Sprinkle added last offseason, that Muldrew could take a redshirt season and spend his first year of college ball on the bench learning and developing.
Consistent and respective injuries on the roster throughout the season forced Muldrew to get various amounts of playing time as the season began.
Muldrew finished his first year of college ball having averaged 3.3 points across 20 games (one start) on 42.4% shooting from the floor. He also averaged 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists.
The 6-foot-4, 180-pound guard received the lion's share of his minutes as a result of UW being down to seven-to-eight scholarship players at various games.
Muldrew grew more comfortable the more minutes he received and quickly became a consistent presence for the Huskies on the defensive end in addition to running point guard at times.
With Muldrew, Diallo and guard JJ Mandaquit (transferred to Arizona) gone from the program, Washington looked to the portal to land guard Ryan Beasley (San Francisco) and earned a commitment from 20-year-old Australian guard Tristan Devers.
