The Western Washington University men's basketball program is losing another star player. Forward Daulton Hommes is transferring for the 2018-19 season. 

​

The redshirt sophomore announced his decision on social media through Twitter and Instagram Friday night:

​

dchommes It’s been been a great 3 years at WWU and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that was given to me at this school surrounded by such a supporting community. With that being said, I have decided to transfer for the 2018-19 season. Thank you to everyone who has shaped me into the person I am today and to those who support me in this decision

​

Hommes, who is currently on vacation, confirmed the decision to The Doug Lange Network via text. 

​

The move comes just over a week after teammate Trey Drechsel announced he would be transferring after completing his junior campaign. 

​

Hommes led the 21-and-8 Vikings in scoring at 18.1 points per game this season. He also averaged 6 rebounds and  2.1 assists per contest. He was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Division II All-West Region Second Team. He was also a Division II All-West Region Second Team selection and a member of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Conference First Team. 

​

"Daulton is leaving on good terms," said WWU head coach Tony Dominguez. "There's a lot of different determining factors for him leaving and we're very supportive of his decision and his future endeavors."

​

Drechsel told The Doug Lange Network he was transferring after he graduates this summer to pursue his Division 1 options. Hommes, out of Lynden Christian High School, has not announced where he intends to transfer at this time. Since he has not yet graduated, another division 2 school is likely, since he would have to sit out a year if he transfers to a D-1 school.
