Miami's new head coach Jai Lucas has officially added Tru Washington, a transfer from New Mexico, to the Hurricanes' roster, marking a significant step in building his first team. Washington's commitment follows the earlier signings of Tre Donaldson, Malik Reneau, and Ernest Udeh Jr., bringing Miami's total transfer additions to four this offseason. A 6-foot-4 shooting guard, Washington averaged 11.1 points and 4 rebounds per game last season, helping New Mexico clinch the Mountain West tournament title and earn an NCAA Tournament bid.

In the tournament, he showcased his offensive prowess with 20 points and nine rebounds over two games, proving his ability to perform under pressure. Notably, Washington is also the nephew of TyTy Washington Jr., currently playing for the Phoenix Suns. With this latest addition, Miami now boasts the No. 9 transfer portal class, according to 247Sports rankings, solidifying its competitive edge for the upcoming season.
