Washington State coach Ernie Kent signs pair of Juco players with Division I experience

PULLMAN – Seven of the 13 players on Ernie Kent’s 2018-19 roster came to Washington State after brief stints at junior colleges scattered throughout the country.

The Juco influence on this particular WSU team is heavy and it’ll be even more so in 2019-20 after Kent inked two JC players Wednesday, getting signatures from Daron Henson of Salt Lake Community College and Ryan Murphy of New Mexico Junior College.

But both also have playing experience at the NCAA Division I level.

Henson is a 6-7, 210-pound power forward who transferred to SLCC this season after spending two years at Utah State.
