After four weeks of the transfer portal opening, Washington State lost six players, including LeJuan Watts (Texas Tech), Isaiah Watts (Maryland), and Nate Calmese (Wake Forest), while Cedric Coward is considering Alabama or Duke. Freshman center Dimitrije Vukicevic’s exit surprised WSU, as he was expected to contribute next season, though he might return. Despite these losses, WSU retains players like ND Okafor, Rihards Vavers, and welcomes Jerone Morton and Emmanuel Ugbo to bolster their defense and rebounding, addressing significant weaknesses from the previous season.
