Mar. 24—Washington State sophomore guard Kase Wynott, a Lapwai High School alum, intends to enter the transfer portal, per multiple reports.

Wynott chose Wazzu after a standout high school career in which he set Idaho's all-time high school boys basketball scoring record, with 2,962 points in four years, reached the state championship each year, winning three times and earned Idaho's Gatorade Player of the Year award in 2024.

Wynott is the second Coug to reportedly enter the portal. Sophomore forward Eemeli Yalaho intends to enter the portal, which opens on April 6, according to On3 Sports and The Field of 68.

Eight miles east, two Vandals fresh off their program's first March Madness appearance in 36 years, also intend to enter the transfer portal.

Idaho seniors Jack Payne, a wing, and guard Trevon Blassingame will enter the portal. On3Sports reported Payne's plan, while Blassingame made his own announcement Monday on social media.

Dealing with various injuries over his two-year Cougar career, Wynott played 29 games in the crimson and gray, averaging 12.7 minutes per game. He shot 35.8% from the floor and 29.7% from beyond the arc.

The 6-foot-6 guard appeared in just five games this past season because of a hip injury.

Yalaho, a Texas Tech transfer from Jyväskylä, Finland, boosted WSU's presence on the boards, but turned the ball over 1.75 times per game, while shooting 40% from 3-point land.

The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 10.1 points per game through 32 games with 27 starts.

Idaho's Payne came off the bench near the end of the season and Blassingame came off the bench for the majority of the season.

Payne is from Boise, Idaho. The 6-foot-6 grad transfer averaged 6.6 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game this season.

Blassigame, standing at 6-foot-4 from Auburn, Wash., was an important scorer off the bench near the end of the season. Blassingame averaged 3.9 points per game and 2.6 rebounds per game.
