Danny Sprinkle has done an extremely impressive job in the transfer portal during his first offseason as the Washington Huskies‘ head coach. Even if he didn’t reel in his best player from his time at Utah State, forward Great Osobor, he put together a very good roster that should compete in the Big Ten.
But he was still able to get Osobor to commit which takes his roster from very good to potentially … great.
On Friday, last season’s Mountain West Player of the Year made his commitment official, signing his letter of intent to attend Washington for his final season of college basketball.
After averaging 17.7 points and 9 rebounds during his one year with the Aggies, Osobor hit the transfer portal when his head coach left for Washington and was one of the nation’s most coveted prospects thanks to his production and experience on the interior, which is extremely difficult to find.
Offers and NIL deals rolled in from most of the nation’s top programs for 247Sports’ No. 7 rated transfer player, who eventually agreed to a record-breaking $2 million deal, making him the player with the largest known deal in the sport.
Now that he’s signed with Washington, Osobor could quickly become one of the more recognizable faces in Seattle.
It's a Great day to be a Dawg!@GreatOsobor is officially a Husky! 🖊️
