Washington Adds Key Transfers Peterson, Ognacevic

The University of Washington's basketball team, under coach Danny Sprinkle, is bolstering its roster through strategic acquisitions from the transfer portal, including Quimari Peterson, the Southern Conference Player of the Year from East Tennessee State, and Jacob Ognacevic, the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year from Lipscomb. Peterson, who averaged 19.5 points per game, is expected to enhance the Huskies' backcourt with his scoring prowess. Ognacevic brings strong scoring capabilities, although his ability to compete in the Big Ten is uncertain due to past injuries. Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Badgers have acquired Austin Rapp from Portland Pilots to fill a critical position left by departing center Steven Crowl. Rapp's scoring efficiency around the rim and high free-throw percentage are seen as valuable assets for the Badgers.
