Are we? going to suck this year?

Now that I can actually watch the games, I want to watch basketball… but we always suck.

I've got a great feeling about Sprinkle. He has a history of getting the most out of this players. Requan Battle was a two year, no confidence, nobody at UW. He became what everyone said he should be out of high school under Sprinkle, a hyper athletic slasher, scorer. After two years at MSU he got a bag from West Virginia where he averaged 17ppg in the Big 12 as a senior. Great Osobor was a nothing recruit from England that Sprinkle got to Montana State. Redshirted, then barely played, followed Sprinkle to USU and became the MW POY, then instead of going to a proven blue blood he decided to stick with the guy who had helped to make him. Players become the best versions of themselves under Sprink. He brought in 8 transfers and seven of them averaged double digits in points at their other schools. Big East, A10, MW, WCC, AAC, P12 and Summit leagues represented by the transfers. Two top 100 freshman join the team in guards Zoom Diallo and Jace Butler. The roster has six kids 6'8' or taller that have played significant minutes of D1 basketball. KC Ibekwe was a fouling machine at OSU. He's a 19yo junior that hasn't played much basketball in his life. I think Sprinkle can make this kid a legit D1 center. He's a massive human. Maybe not to start the year but by the end he will have grown a ton. I'm excited. B10 teams coming to town, I'm going to make the trip south a few times to see the team play. My father in law is from Indiana and I'm planning on taking him when the Hoosiers come to town for sure. I expect them to be very competitive this year. They might end up 17-14 again but it won't be the roller coaster that Hops teams were.
