The Huskies are already starting to feel the effects of Danny Sprinkle’s ability on the recruiting trail.
As Sprinkle turns the page to the 2025 recruiting class, he wants to continue the momentum he picked up in his first offseason on Montlake and is looking to make a big splash. It may be coming in the form of guard Darryn Peterson, the No. 3 player in the country and the top combo guard in 247Sports’ Composite rankings.
Sprinkle’s staff has already proven itself as recruiters after convincing four-star point guard Zoom Diallo to stick to his Washington commitment in April. The Huskies also brought in the No. 18 ranked recruiting class according to 247Sports. That included the No. 8 transfer class, featuring Utah State big man Great Osobor, who agreed to the largest known NIL deal in college basketball.
Peterson, who plays his high school basketball for Huntington Prep in Huntington, West Virginia, announced via his father that he will take a visit to Washington in August or September. Originally from Canton, Ohio, Peterson is also planning to visit Kentucky, Louisville, and USC.
The 6-foot-5, 195-pound five-star prospect will also visit Ohio State on August 1 and recently completed a visit at Kansas. Arkansas, home of former Kentucky head coach John Calipari, is also in the mix after Calipari reaffirmed Peterson’s offer at his new school.
Peterson is already an elite offensive creator and finisher with a developing jump shot, but his 6-foot-10 wingspan in a 6-foot-5 frame creates mismatches on the perimeter that will be appealing to any school.
