Danny Sprinkle’s rebuild of the Washington Huskies is nearly complete. His coaching staff earned a commitment from Portland forward Tyler Harris on Friday night, leaving just one scholarship spot available on the roster.
Harris brings an exciting ceiling to Montlake after averaging 12.1 points and 7,3 rebounds per game with the Pilots during his freshman season. Listed at 6-foot-8 and 190 pounds, the product of Granada High School in Livermore, California, brings length and athleticism to both ends of the floor along with good touch from the outside.
He shot 35.8 percent from three-point range and 46 percent from the floor and was named to the All-WCC Freshman Team after playing in 22 games last season, starting 21.
Harris also missed 11 games with an ankle injury and could become the second Portland transfer in as many years to make an impact with the Huskies, after forward Moses Wood started 32 games for coach Mike Hopkins last year.
While Harris may not be expected to start, especially if the Huskies can earn a commitment from Utah State forward Great Osobor, he has a high ceiling and looks like he could be an important part of Sprinkle’s rotation going forward.
