The Washington State Cougars men’s basketball team landed a massive addition to their 2021-22 squad when South Alabama graduate transfer Michael Flowers announced he’d be transferring to Pullman for his final year of eligibility.
Flowers — a 6-foot-1, 190-pound guard — fills a specific need for the Cougars, appearing to be a nearly like-for-like replacement for Isaac Bonton, who seems destined to forego his extra year of eligibility and begin his professional career. As the Jaguars’ lead guard, Flowers averaged 21 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
Flowers said he picked the Cougars over schools such as Arkansas, USC, Miami, Texas A&M, Florida, Colorado and Marquette.
