If Mike Hopkins and the Washington Huskies basketball program want to keep their commitment to the 2-3 zone, why not add a 7-footer to the squad?

Actually, 7-feet is selling Richland High School’s Riley Sorn short. Sorn, a senior who made his verbal commitment to the University of Washington on Monday morning, is 7-foot-4.

The senior center chose the Huskies after recently narrowing down his choices to Saint Mary’s and the UW.

Sorn averaged 16.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and four blocks per game for the Bombers this season. Richland finished fifth in the Class 4A state tournament after losing to eventual state champion Gonzaga Prep in the semifinals.
