CHENEY, Wash. — As the 2025-26 season approaches, head coach Dan Monson has announced the addition of eight to the roster. Monson has added two freshmen and six transfers.
 
"We are really excited about this recruiting class," said Monson. "Experience was something we lacked last season, and we addressed that this Spring. We now have 11 guys on our roster that are in their 4th or 5th year of college. This is a balanced class, featuring multiple players that have experienced a great deal of personal accolades and team success at their prior stops. In addition to their on-court abilities, this is a high character group of young men that will make the Cheney community proud."

" An older, experienced and proven point guard is what every college coach in America is looking for. We landed one of the better ones on the market in Isaiah. His ability to score efficiently from all three levels, while also getting his teammates involved will fill a huge void for us.
