The upcoming men’s basketball season already was set to be the most anticipated in a decade for Washington State, and the Cougars’ prospects of returning to the NCAA tournament got another bump on Friday when 2022 four-star center/forward Mouhamed Gueye announced he is reclassifying to 2021 and coming to Pullman this fall.
“I’m committing to Washington State,” Gueye told Eric Bossi of 247Sports. “Since I’ve gotten here I have had a good relationship with the coaching staff. Coach Kyle Smith and Coach John Andrzejek, I feel like they can help me to be the best version of myself.”
