The end of WSU’s basketball season was a real bummer, but we got a bit of very good news just in time to record a new episode: The commitment of transfer Jaylen Wells from Sonoma State.

Wells is a 6-foot-7 wing who, as a sophomore, lit up the California Collegiate Athletic Association to the tune of 22.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, being named the conference player of the year as well as a third team Division II All-American. Going back to the D-II well might seem concerning when you’re trying to reload, but there are reasons to be optimistic about this signing.
