Tina Langley and the Washington Huskies just locked up a pair of seriously talented recruits on Wednesday, officially adding some major firepower to their roster. This isn’t just a couple of signings; it’s Langley, in her sixth year as head coach, continuing to build something special through the high school ranks here in the Emerald City.

Jessie Moses Is Coming to Play

First up, let’s talk about Jessie Moses. This 5-star guard, originally from Norristown, Pennsylvania, is straight out of IMG Academy and she’s no joke. We’re talking about the No. 30 overall prospect and the No. 2 combo guard in the entire country, according to the 247Sports Composite. That’s a huge get, and it sounds like she’s ready to bring an immediate impact to Washington’s backcourt. Coach Langley herself couldn’t stop raving, calling Moses “one of the most skilled and versatile guards in the country.” She’s a “natural playmaker” with a “high basketball IQ,” an “elite shooter,” and someone who “plays with great pace, creating opportunities for herself and her teammates.” But it’s not just skill, right? Langley highlighted her “relentless work ethic” and “high standards.” She’s got “resilience and maturity” and “pours herself into the people around her,” which is exactly the kind of player you want in your program. Seriously, Seattle, get ready.

Ze’Ni Patterson Brings Relentless Toughness

Then there’s Ze’Ni Patterson, another incredible pick-up for the Huskies. This 4-star guard was actually Washington’s first commit in the 2027 class, and ESPN ranked her as the No. 86 prospect overall. Patterson, coming from Archbishop Mitty High School in Northern California, is someone Coach Langley has huge expectations for, especially on both ends of the floor. Langley praised her as “one of the best two-way guards in the country,” bringing “relentless toughness.” She’s a “dynamic scorer” with a “quick release” who can “shoot the three at a high level.” Plus, she’s an “explosive downhill driver” who can “score at the rim and midrange.” Sounds like she can do it all, right? Beyond the stats, Patterson is a “fierce competitor” and an “extremely bright young woman.” She’s a “tremendous teammate” who “leads with kindness” and “always strives to be her best.” This is the kind of talent and character that screams future success for Husky basketball.

With Moses and Patterson officially in the fold, it’s clear Coach Langley is serious about building a powerhouse right here in Seattle. We’re talking about two top-100 guards who bring skill, toughness, and high basketball IQ to the program. What an exciting time to be a Husky fan! Get ready to welcome these incredible athletes and their families to our city; the future looks bright for Washington women’s basketball!
