Miami SG Tru Washington plans to enter transfer portal

View as article
Great job @Trinton Breeze on being the first one to break this story.
Personally, I hope Tru stays but entering the portal is the way to go to see what's your other options are.
I thought Tru excelled in the 6th man role and was looking for him to be the best 6th man in the nation in 2026-27.
However, he might want something more and I respect that.
I am sure the coaching staff will have a good player fill that scholarship one way or another.
If it's Tru then great, if it's another player then I am fine with it.
One day, we will find the formula that will keep your roster intact from one season to the next.
I guess coaches really do have to recruit their own players every year.
Interesting state of college basketball we are in.

I would have loved it if Tru would have come back, but I also understand that he wants to be a starter and Coach Lucas wasn't going to guarantee that. Washington is a **** good role player, I don't know if he he's a difference maker as a starter. His offensive game just isn't good enough, and at this point of his career, I don't think it's going to get significantly better. He's a good on ball defender, he's the kind of guy that programs like Houston and Purdue have on their bench, guys that come in and play heavy minutes.

I think that if Tru is serious about being a full time starter, he may have to go to a team that isn't slated to be in the postseason, because I don't see him as a full time starter on a legit contender, or a very good tournament team. Coach Lucas wants to build a roster that can possibly make the second weekend of the 2027 NCAA Tournament, and in order to do that, you need to have a starter better than Tru Washington.
 
Has to be NIL. He averaged around 28 minutes per game and he played to his average in the post season. Unless Jai can find a couple of guards better in the portal I saw an increase in minutes going into this fall.

Who says he won't this fall? Yeah I get Dante and Tru on the court at the same time was not optimal this year but what happens this fall is still TBD. Who do we get in the portal that is an upgrade and we drop serious coin for?
