Washington hoops adds transfer commitment from former Rutgers guard

Washington basketball added a pledge out of the transfer portal on July 4, landing former Rutgers guard Paul Mulcahy.

The former 3-star recruit started 28 games for the Scarlet Knights last season, running point despite his 6-7 size. He averaged 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in 2022-23. He has been in Piscataway for 4 seasons.

Mulcahy spoke with On3Sports to discuss his commitment to the Huskies prior to Monday’s news.

“I believe that the Covid year has been a blessing for me to have another chance to chase my dream,” he said. “I think Washington has some elite pieces over there and are hungry to win at a high level. I believe this decision will make me push myself harder than ever before.”

Rutgers transfer Paul Mulcahy is headed to Washington, he announces.

Nice late add for Mike Hopkins and the Huskies.

Mulcahy is Washington’s 6th transfer portal addition of the offseason, joining players such as Kentucky’s Sahvir Wheeler and Fresno State’s Anthony Holland.
