Nahziah Carter and Hameir Wright have friends who know they’re at Washington. They just think its the place with the Washington Monument, not the one with the Space Needle.
Both Carter and Wright, who are freshman on the Huskies basketball team, grew up in New York but are happy to be on this coast. Carter is from Rochester while Wright grew up in Albany, which is more than three hours away. They came to Seattle thanks to Mike Hopkins, a longtime Syracuse assistant.
Carter and Wright knew Hopkins for years, so it only made sense he needed more players at his first head coaching job.
