Tina Langley has something happening over in Montlake for the Washington women's basketball program. Another NCAA Tournament appearance with an impressive returning roster, a quality recruiting class, and now a great portal pickup. The Huskies were able to bring home legacy recruit Macey Huard, the daughter of Brock Huard (former UW quarterback and local radio broadcaster).

She's not simply a legacy recruit coming to Montlake to sit on the bench; she's one of the better guards in the portal out of Oklahoma State. She averaged 6.4 points and 2.5 rebounds last season. This will be her third school in three years, but she's bringing a wealth of experience with her.

She's 6'2 and has scored 436 points in her college career in 63 games played. This next year will be her junior season, and it's an important addition for the Huskies. Tina Langley truly may have a roster that can go deep next season in the NCAA Tournament.

The return of standouts, Sayvia Sellers, Avery Howell, and Brynn McGaughy, with a 4-star and top-50 player nationally, Amayah Garcia, coming in. Add in Huard and a few of the other potential pieces on the roster, and this team could be special.

The Huskies even have more room to add other portal players, as they had a handful of players lose eligibility at the end of last season. The portal could be a place where Langley continues to upgrade the roster.

For Huard and the Huskies, it's a homecoming that many have been hoping for since she graduated high school. She comes from a deep husky family. Her dad, playing quarterback for the Huskies, and her mom, Molly, played basketball in the same gym, and now their daughter continues the line of Washington Huards. It's good for them, and it's good for the program.
