The Washington State Cougars' offseason rebuild is gaining momentum with a key backcourt addition. TCU transfer guard RJ Jones has committed to the program, bringing a blend of scoring potential and high-major experience to Pullman.

Jones, a 6-foot-2 guard from Denton, Texas, began his collegiate career at Kansas State before spending the last two seasons closer to home at TCU. While his playing time was limited last season, he showcased efficient shooting, hitting 35% from three-point range. His standout performance came in a 14-point outburst against Florida A&M, demonstrating the scoring spark he can provide.

This move reunites Jones with new WSU head coach David Riley, who is aggressively reshaping the roster. Jones becomes the third transfer portal addition this offseason, joining Central Missouri guard Lazerek Houston and Manhattan forward Fraser Roxburgh. His commitment is crucial for offsetting significant roster turnover, as the Cougars lost 12 players from last season's squad.

A former four-star recruit with offers from numerous power-conference programs, Jones brings a pedigree of talent to the Palouse. As Coach Riley builds his first team in the revamped West Coast Conference, adding a seasoned guard like Jones provides valuable backcourt depth and shooting as the Cougars look to establish a new identity.
