A report from the official UW basketball site today announced that 6’9″ sophomore forward Brendan Sherrer will be added to the official roster for the 2009/10 season.
Sherrer played for Archbishop Murphy High School, and, according to the report from the school, “will provide the Huskies some depth down low and be a great practice player for the team.”
Coach Romar also declined to name his starters just yet for Wednesday night’s exhibition game with Central Washington.

The Athletic Department announced today that the men’s basketball team will hold walk-on tryouts on Thursday at 6 PM. The opportunity is only open to full-time UW students. Here’s the link with all the relevant info.
I had a chance to ask Coach Romar about just this at Media Day. When I inquired about the likelihood of the team adding another player, likely by adding one or more walk-ons (non-scholarship ballers), to the team’s 12-man roster. Here’s what he answered:
“No. (pause) I said that too quickly. If there was someone that decided to walk on and help us out that was good enough to push your guys in practice, and be good enough mentally to handle not playing, and not come into my office asking ‘why isn’t (he) starting? I’ve been doing everything. Why aren’t I playing more?’ Then, yeah, we might consider remotely having someone.”
