Washington basketball gets commitment from ascending Brazilian forward
The Washington Huskies got a commitment from Brazilian forward Wini Braga on Tuesday to fill out the frontcourt ahead of Danny Sprinkle's 3rd season.
Washington has turned to the international market to restock their frontcourt. Head coach Danny Sprinkle's staff got Hannes Steinbach (Germany) and Nikola Dzepina (Serbia) to Montlake last season, thanks in large part to assistant coach Andy Hill, according to Sprinkle. With Steinbach off to the NBA Draft and Franck Kepnang to the transfer portal, however, the Huskies needed to tap into their efforts abroad to land Wíni Braga, a 6-foot-9 Brazilian forward who committed to Washington on Tuesday.
