Coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies are looking for a few more pieces in the transfer portal to help round out his roster for the 2024-25 season. None of those remaining targets are nearly as important as former Utah State forward Great Osobor, whose official visit to Washington began on Tuesday.
Last season’s Mountain West Player of the Year, the 6-foot-8, 250-pound Osobor averaged 17.7 points and 9 rebounds per game while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor. He has displayed continuous improvement over his three years with Sprinkle, winning the Big Sky’s Top Reserve award in 2022 after averaging 9.8 points and 4.4 rebounds at Montana State.
Now, he’s one of the hottest commodities in the transfer portal, ranked No. 7 overall by 247Sports, and has taken official visits to Kentucky, Lousiville, and Texas Tech before traveling to Seattle. He has reportedly taken the Wildcats off his list and is down to just the Cardinals, who have already added former Washington guard Koren Johnson this offseason, and the Red Raiders.
Not only would Osobor be an exciting addition to the roster, but he is also the perfect player to round out Washington’s starting five for the upcoming season.
He has plenty of experience playing as a wing in Sprinkle’s offense and would be a seamless fit into the lineup. With a strong passer in point guard Zoom Diallo, a threat from three-point range in DJ Davis, and a high-intensity threat in the paint Franck Kepnang, Osobor brings an elite post presence that can finish with touch around the rim.
With Osobor’s addition, Sprinkle could have his team ready to compete in the Big Ten rather quickly, now it’s just a matter of securing his commitment. [lawrence-related id=3168]
