Mark McLaughlin, a junior college transfer from Tacoma Community College, has official signed with the Huskies today after several tumultuous years signing with 8 teams in 5 years due to various issues, including academics.
McLaughlin spent 2 seasons at Seattle U after transferring from Baylor University, one season was the mandated "redshirt" season that requires a transfer student to sit out for one season.
McLaughlin is a 6-6 shooting guard weighing in at 200lb. McLaughlin averaged nearly 28 points and 9 rebounds on top of 3 assists across 31 games last season. McLaughlin can be a prolific outside shooter with a 38% outside shooting average. My favorite stat? 84% free throw shooting on nearly 250 attempts. That is an average of 8 attempts per game, something that only Tony Wroten managed this year. Another promising stat from McLaughlin is his 1.4 steals per game.
All around, McLaughlin could be another diamond in the rough discovered by Romar. If McLaughlin can stay on track and remain a mature and contributing player, the loss of Ross and Wroten could be offset by this acquisition.
The Huskies have two scholarships remaining for next season and the Dawgs remain on the prowl for at least one big man, hopefully two.
Go Dawg!
