Danny Sprinkle has done an impressive job rebuilding the Washington Huskies roster ahead of the team’s first campaign as a member of the Big Ten. The Huskies were looking for key contributors as Sprinkle had to practically reassemble the roster, and according to the Big Ten Network’s Andy Katz, he found a few exciting stars.
Not only did Sprinkle bring Mountain West Player of the Year Great Osobor with him from Utah State, but he also convinced Butler guard DJ Davis to spend his final year on Montlake.
On Tuesday, Katz named both players among the top 10 on the West Coast for the 2024-25 season.
Ranking Osobor No. 1, Katz referenced his stellar 17-point, 9-rebound season with the Aggies last season and his familiarity with Sprinkle’s system. Playing alongside center Franck Kepnang, the preseason All-American could assert himself as one of the best players in the country in his final season.
Davis slotted in at No. 8 on Katz’s list after the Butler transfer averaged 13 points per game last season with the Bulldogs and was a 95 percent shooter from the free throw line.
With other exciting prospects like Mekhi Mason and Tyler Harris surrounding them, the Huskies have a promising roster that could be a threat in their new conference.
