Washington’s men’s basketball roster is officially full for the 2026-27 season, and Danny Sprinkle now has all 15 spots spoken for.
The latest piece came Wednesday, when the Huskies landed Rutgers transfer Harun Zrno, a 6-foot-7 Bosnian guard. That commitment pushed the roster to its maximum allotment and capped a busy build for Sprinkle’s third year in charge.
The mix is a little bit of everything: six returners, five transfers, four international additions and one commitment from the Class of 2026. Washington also added to its staff, hiring Charles Klask, an assistant coach with 25 years of NBA experience.
The Huskies are still chasing their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2019, and this new-look group is the one tasked with trying to end that drought.
Here’s how the roster shakes out:
Guards: Ryan Beasley, Parker Friedrichsen, BJ Roy, Harun Zrno and Tristan Devers.
Beasley arrived from San Francisco, Friedrichsen from Davidson, Roy is back from last season, Zrno comes over from Rutgers, and Devers was recruited from Australia.
Wings: Jasir Rencher, Steele Venters and Lattimore Ford.
Rencher returns, Venters transferred in from Gonzaga, and Ford is the Class of 2026 commitment.
Forwards: Nikola Dzepina, Mady Traore, LeJuan Watts, Boris Tisma and Wini Braga.
Dzepina and Traore are back, Watts transferred from Texas Tech, Tisma was recruited from Croatia, and Braga comes in from Brazil.
Center: Lathan Sommerville.
Sommerville is the lone player listed at center and is also a returner.
The biggest personnel losses are already clear. Washington’s two leading scorers from last season are gone: forward Hannes Steinbach, who entered the 2026 NBA Draft and was selected 14th overall by the Charlotte Hornets, and guard Zoom Diallo, who transferred to Kentucky.
That leaves junior guard Wesley Yates III as the top returning scorer. His season was interrupted by a broken bone in his wrist, which cost him several games. After coming back, he played the rest of the year with a brace and never fully got back to the efficient level he showed before the injury.
Now the oldest and most experienced returner on the roster, Yates is expected to carry more of the load and should be the No. 1 option on offense.
Washington also has to replace its starting frontcourt, with Steinbach and center Franck Kepnang both gone. That opens the door for Dzepina, who joined the team last April but saw inconsistent minutes because he was still learning the roster. His size and skill set are similar to Steinbach’s, making him a name to watch.
Braga is another forward worth keeping an eye on. The Brazilian recruit is described as someone who thrives in the pick-and-roll and as a shot-blocker.

Danny Sprinkle Just Made Two Huskies Moves Fans Needed To See
Washingtons roster work for the future took another step with the addition of Harun Zrno, a 6-foot-7 guard from Rutgers who arrives through the transfer portal. The move gives Danny Sprinkle another versatile piece to work with as he continues shaping the Huskies for the 2026-27 season, and it also underscores how aggressively the staff has been building around size, skill and positional flexibility.
Sprinkle also added a veteran voice to the bench in Charles Klask, a longtime NBA assistant with 25 years of experience. For a program trying to speed up its climb, that kind of hire can matter just as much as a roster move, especially when it brings a coach who has spent years around high-level pro systems and elite players.

Dante Moore Just Entered A Tough New Conversation At Oregon
Dante Moores return to Oregon was already one of the bigger quarterback storylines in the Big Ten, because he is coming back for a second season as the Ducks starter after a year that ended in the College Football Playoff semifinal. He played all 15 games in 2025, kept Oregon in the national title mix, and still made the unusual choice to bypass the 2026 NFL Draft even with first-round buzz attached to his name.
Now there is a sharper conversation around what comes next. PFF grades reported by Big Ten Huddle placed Moore 13th among 18 projected Big Ten starting quarterbacks in performance under pressure, a reminder that the next step for Oregons offense is not just about talent or experience, but about how its quarterback handles the heat when defenses get home. For a player with Moores profile, that kind of ranking adds a little more weight to every snap he takes this fall. [Read more 🡒]
