Washington basketball adds All-WCC guard in transfer portal
The Washington Huskies added a third guard to their backcourt out of the transfer portal on Monday morning.
Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies added a third guard through the transfer portal to help round out their backcourt on Monday morning when former San Francisco standout Ryan Beasley announced his commitment. After taking an official visit to Seattle over the weekend, the All-West Coast Conference Second Team honoree didn't waste any time announcing his pledge to the Huskies, giving Sprinkle a critical boost as both a scorer and a distributor. During his junior season with the Dons, he averaged 13.
6 points and 4 assists per game over 31 starts in what was a decorated career at the mid-major program. The 5-foot-11, 180-pounder was also named the WCC Freshman of the Year following the 2023-24 season, and in his final year of eligibility, should bring a desperately needed veteran presence to Washington's roster.

5 per game. However, with the star sophomore on his way to Kentucky and freshman JJ Mandaquit headed to Arizona in the portal, Sprinkle has had to completely rebuild his backcourt through the portal around junior Wesley Yates. While he doesn't bring the three-point shooting that the Huskies have been emphasizing, after connecting on 32.
