The Washington Huskies men's basketball team spent most of last offseason completely rebuilding their roster.

Entering the 2025-26 season, the Huskies had just two players on the 15-man roster who competed the previous year.

Washington, which finished with a 16-17 overall record this past season (7-13 in the Big Ten), was already expected to have to replace some talent with senior forward Jacob Ognacevic and senior guard Quimari Peterson running out eligibility and freshman forward Hannes Steinbach likely to enter the 2026 NBA Draft.

Senior center Franck Kepnang, who was one of the two returners from 2024, could have another year of eligibility remaining but it's possible his collegiate career could be over, as well.

The Huskies will also have another player they need to replace this offseason.

Washington freshman guard Courtland Muldrew plans to enter the transfer portal according to a post on "X" from Sam Kayser. He's the first Husky who has stated his intention to leave the Pacific Northwest.

Muldrew entered this past season as a potential redshirt candidate but was forced relatively early in the year to burn it due a mountain of injuries for Washington.

The Arlington, Texas, native was ranked as the 106th-best player in the Class of 2025 according to 247Sports. Before committing to the Huskies on Oct. 8, 2024, Muldrew earned offers from notable programs such as Creighton, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss and others.

Muldrew played 20 games in '25-26 and started one. He averaged 12.7 minutes per game in those contests. In his limited amount of playing time, he averaged 3.3 points on 42.4% shooting, 1.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

Muldrew spent his longest amount of time on the court in Washington's final game of the season. In a Big Ten tournament game against the No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers on March 12, Muldrew put up eight points on 3-for-8 shooting (2-for-2 from the free-throw line), pulled in six rebounds, dished five assists and had a steal in 32 minutes of work.

The Huskies ultimately fell to the Badgers 85-82.

Despite receiving more opportunities due to injuries, Muldrew grew more comfortable as the season went on and showed the ability to be a two-way contributor while also making an impact in the passing and rebounding game.

Washington is yet to earn a commitment from a Class of 2026 player and could have to rely solely on the transfer portal to find replacements for Muldrew and others.
