The Huskies men's basketball team landed former Rutgers Scarlet Knights guard Harun Zrno

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team has officially filled out the roster for the 2026-27 season.

The Huskies landed its 15th (and final) player for the upcoming season with the addition of guard Harun Zrno via the transfer portal.

Zrno, a Bosnia & Herzegovina native, entered the portal when the window was open after spending his freshman season with Washington's Big Ten rivals, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, last year.

Zrno is the fifth addition for the Huskies this offseason via the transfer portal. UW also landed guards Ryan Beasley (San Francisco) and Parker Friedrichsen (Davidson) and forwards Steele Venters (Gonzaga) and LeJuan Watts (Texas Tech).

The 6-foot-7, 220-pound guard will also be the fifth player with international roots on the roster for next season. This offseason, Washington earned commitments from guard Tristan Devers (Australia) and forwards Wini Braga (Brazil) and Boris Tisma (Croatia). Serbian forward Nikola Dzepina joined the roster last year during the winter quarter.

Huskies head coach Danny Sprinkle was reported this past week to be in Slovenia to watch the FIBA U20 EuroBasket tournament, which Dzepina was one of the top performers in. Dzepina and the Serbians finished second place in the tournament.

Sprinkle was also overseas to watch 6-foot-6 Slovenian combo guard Urban Kroflic, who the team had reported interest in for months.

Kroflic suffered a hamstring injury in the semifinal game of the tournament between Slovenia and France and missed the championship game, which Slovenia ultimately won 84-65 over Serbia. Kroflic was named as one of the five players to the all-tournament, along with Dzepina.

Whether it was due to his injury or interest from other programs (Iowa and Rutgers also had reported interest in Kroflic), it seemed like Sprinkle's efforts to land the guard were for naught

Zrno has similar size to Kroflic, although the latter appears to be have more proficiency as a passer.

In his lone collegiate season with the Scarlet Knights last year, Zrno averaged 6.5 points across 34 games (15 starts) on 35.6% shooting from the floor (33.8% from 3-point range). He also averaged 1.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.5 assists per contest.

Zrno suited up for Rutgers in a game against the Dawgs on Feb. 24. He scored two points and had a steal in 15 minutes of action.

With the addition of Zrno, here's what the roster for the UW men's basketball team will look for next season:
